NOPSEMA released a notifiable incident report (NTF11653) documenting an inadvertent activation of the Fire and Gas detection system at Woodside Energy's Vincent facility on 21 July 2022. The unplanned general alarm occurred during testing of an upgraded Consilium fire detection system, triggering a facility muster with no injuries or damage reported. NOPSEMA escalated the incident to Level 1 investigation on 25 July 2022, classifying it as a dangerous occurrence under occupational health and safety. The root cause was identified as a missed input signal (61-XS-8007) due to logic not being effectively displayed on control and engineering documentation. Woodside conducted an internal investigation and took corrective actions including facility muster procedures and confirmation of the manual alarm call point involved in the testing.
