To address the SBM Offshore Group's responsibilities towards Quality Assurance, Health Safety & Environment and Security, a Group Management System has been developed and implemented. The Management System has been designed to be compliant with the requirements of the following International Standards where relevant:
- ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management
- ISO 14000 Environmental Management
- OHSA 18001 Health & Safety
- the ISPS Code for ship security

The highest HSE standards are achieved through a process of training, competence, risk identification and control, supplemented by communication to all employees and contractors of the Group.
For the management and operation of the FPSO and FSO fleet, a policy and a set of objectives specific to the production activities has been developed and the Group established a Safety and Environment Protection (SEP) Management System based on the requirements of Det Norske Veritas (DNV) rules of the "Management of Safe Ship Operation and Pollution Prevention", in order to implement the policy and objectives.
