Abstract: Many dams and watercourse structures are available for tourists and other people. Owners of such facilities have the major responsibility to ensure the safety for public use. In Norway the Water Resources Act regulates stewardship and duty of care for watercourse structures. Structures and other installations in a river system shall be planned and implemented so as to harm or inconvenience public or private interests as little as possible.
In Norway a new guideline for public safety will be published early 2013. This new guideline intends to point out the best solutions the industry has taken to ensure the safety of the public. It's an encyclopedia of methodical safety work and recommended solutions. The target group is all who work with dam and watercourse structures, but also those who work with civil structures in general.
The safety work should be methodical and documented. The guideline contributes to good methodologies and procedures. It's essential to document the risk assessments and experiences to utilize the knowledge in future work.

Key words: Norway, dam safety, guideline, risk assessment

摘要： 挪威许多大坝和水道建筑物都是对游客和公众开放的。这些设施业主担负着确保其公共使用安全的主要责任。在挪威，《水资源法案》是规范河道建筑物管理以及维护职责的主要法律依据。河道系统里的建筑物和其他设施都应经过规划再实施，以将对公共利益和个人利益带来的损害和不便尽可能降低到最小。
挪威2013年颁布了新的关于公共安全的导则。这部新导则意在明确行业内已采用最好的的方法以确保公共安全。它是一部关于安全工作方法和推荐解决方案的百科全书。该导则的目标群体是所有大坝和河道建筑物的相关工作人员以及其他与公共建筑物相关的工作人员。
安全工作应该有一定方法可循并有相关记录做依据。该导则有助于形成好的方法和流程，记录风险评估并总结经验以便在以后的工作中创新思维这一点至关重要。
