Need for offshore risk assessment
In the oil and gas industry, fire incidents and accidents onboard offshore platforms and vessels can lead to the potential loss of human life as well as causing significant environmental damage. Offshore risk assessment and management practices are crucial to ensuring the health and safety of personnel apart from mitigating the probabilities of fire hazards and accidents.
The offshore risk assessment covers the risk of major accidents, health and safety risks and any other work-related risks. The risk of major accidents can be mitigated by the identification of sources of hazards and reduction of the risks associated with those hazards.
Health and safety risks are assessed and managed by assessing the physical work conditions and risk of exposure to accidents. The risks can be mitigated by choosing the right work equipment, and design and layout of workstations, as well as limiting the duration of exposure to strenuous work conditions. Provision of protective clothing such as PPE, high-visibility clothing and gloves to protect employees is also essential.
Offshore safety equipment
Offshore safety equipment ensures that any risks to equipment and personnel can be safely and quickly addressed. Marine rescue equipment, lifeboats and rescue boats, life rafts, life jackets, oxygen resuscitators and other breathing apparatus can help in protecting personnel during emergency situations. Fire extinguishers, gas detection equipment and other equipment can help in addressing hazards to equipment.
