OFFSHORE SUPPLY SAFETY

The objective of this training package is to improve the safety on vessels involved in offshore supply operations. The programme is divided into five modules dealing with the practical aspects of each operation. It can be watched in its entirety or each module can be viewed separately, for instance, as the introduction to a toolbox talk, immediately before carrying out the featured operation.

The focal theme of Offshore Supply Safety is keeping to proper procedures and working calmly and carefully. The programme notes that safety depends on good team work between the bridge and deck of the vessel, and between the vessel and the installation. Everyone involved must look out for the safety of the deck crew. The programme emphasises that good risk management is essential to successful and safe offshore supply operations. The senior officers on the vessel must plan operations effectively. They need to encourage everyone to have safety ? rather than speed ? as the highest priority at all times.
