• Oppgradering av infrastruktur og ny vognpark, det må trenes på avvikssituasjoner for å kunne håndtere disse når de oppstår.

abnormal conditions/situations
Explanation:
I would go with your gut feeling here. I would have liked to see more context here, but the term here does seem to refer to what you might call unforeseen circumstances/situations rather than non-compliance with some kind of regulatory framework.
