Following an internal investigation of an accident at its liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility in Northern Norway, the Norwegian state-owned energy giant Equinor has introduced measures to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.

The investigation focused on an incident that took place on April 24, 2025, at the Hammerfest LNG processing plant. Namely, an employee experienced a 4.4-meter fall during formwork activities related to the construction of a concrete building on the Melkøya island, where the facility is located.
