Reasons why OPERATOS are STUBBORN (1) Risk = during lifting processing all eyes are on operators , good, bad , accident or damage of property and life, operators bear the risk only, then to avoid any accident occurance, operators ensure that all safety rules are followed, because he new all lifting centres on him or her . ( 2) Experience = lifting involves a lot of acumen which operators drive, in the use joysticks, being outside of operators thinking makes operator like unqualified or Incompetent in his field of work , that's why operators pay attention to his rigger or environment and material is lifting than any thing else (3) cabin = once an operator is in a operator's cabin or a small house is like another world 🌎, pressure, spirit, mindset and atmosphere is quite different from outside world.

The Key to Crew Morale: Good Food and Unlimited Internet Offshore work is tough — there’s no doubt about it. But two things can make a huge difference in keeping your crew motivated: access to good food and fast, unlimited internet. These may seem like small details, but they have a significant impact on morale and well-being. When people work hard under challenging conditions, having these basic comforts can be a game-changer. Add the privacy of a personal cabin, and you have a recipe for a more satisfied and dedicated crew. That’s why I want to highlight how important the work of our cooks and stewards is — they do an incredible job, and their efforts make a huge difference in the daily lives of everyone on board. When someone says they earn “good enough,” I just want to say that their work deserves even more. Investing in these simple things can keep your team happy and less likely to look elsewhere for better opportunities. In the end, taking care of your people is the best way to ensure they remain committed and productive.

It's wonderfully said and true. Activities involving lifting have the potential to be fatal. Regretfully, we lack sufficient training for this type of workforce. Inspection and testing of lifting gears remain unclear. When it comes to safety, everyone tries to save money and time. In order to prevent the single vertical support on the vehicle platform, the load is elevated high. Making a detachable vertical support will make the task easier. JSA is crucial for both ordinary and irregular tasks. It's the safety officer's primary responsibility. Regards for sharing

Riggers: Know Your Hooks! 🪝 Understanding the different types of rigging hooks is crucial for safe and efficient lifting operations. Common types of rigging hooks: • Self-closing hooks: Automatically close on the load. • Open hooks: Require manual closure. • Swivel hooks: Reduce twisting in the sling. • Safety latch hooks: Prevent accidental disengagement. When selecting a hook, consider: • Load capacity: Ensure it can handle the weight of the load. • Hook opening: Choose the right size for your sling. • Material and finish: opt for durable materials and corrosion-resistant finishes. Remember, a well-maintained hook is a safe hook! #rigging #safety #hooks #lifting #equipment #hse #adnocoffshore #construction #uae #project #healthandsafety #uae #onshore #epc #hooksandblocks #cranessafety

A near miss is an unplanned event that did not result in injury, illness, or damage but had the potential to do so. It serves as a warning that safety protocols might need improvement and emphasizes the importance of proactive hazard identification and risk mitigation. Identifying and addressing near misses can prevent future incidents and enhance workplace safety. #SafetyFirst #OilAndGas #NearMiss #WorkplaceSafety #RiskManagement #HazardPrevention #SafetyCulture #IncidentPrevention #HSE #EnergyIndustry

🚧 During mobilization on new projects, it’s not uncommon to spot a 3rd party welder attempting to attach something to the crane pedestal. 🚧 Although this may seem like a routine task, welding on critical offshore crane structures can lead to significant safety and operational concerns. Let’s clarify the risks involved and why strict protocols are crucial: 1️⃣ Structural Integrity: Welding on existing offshore structures can create heat-affected zones (HAZ), weakening the metal and making it more susceptible to fatigue, cracking, and eventual failure. Offshore environments, with constant dynamic loads from waves and wind, amplify these issues. For more details, refer to resources from organizations like TWI (The Welding Institute). https://www.twi-global.com 2️⃣ Corrosion Resistance: When welding offshore, protective coatings can be stripped, exposing the metal to increased risk of corrosion. Saltwater accelerates this process, making post-welding protection essential. You can learn more about the challenges of corrosion in marine environments through Corrosionpedia. https://lnkd.in/eQrG_F4q 3️⃣ Compliance & Certification: Welding on critical components can void certifications, which requires re-testing and re-certification to meet offshore safety standards. Most industry standards, such as those from API (American Petroleum Institute), emphasize that any structural alterations must adhere to stringent guidelines. https://lnkd.in/eNWrHaKf 4️⃣ Risk to Electronics: Welding can generate electromagnetic interference (EMI), potentially disrupting sensitive electronic systems like Motion Reference Units (MRU), which stabilize offshore cranes. Malfunctions in these systems can lead to serious operational hazards. For more information on EMI risks, check out the guidelines provided by HSE (Health and Safety Executive). https://www.hse.gov.uk These risks are not just theoretical; they are supported by real-world cases and industry standards. Adhering to proper protocols when making structural modifications is essential to ensure long-term safety and operational reliability. #OffshoreSafety #StructuralIntegrity #CraneOperations #MarineEngineering #WeldingSafety #EnergyIndustry

Hook Inspection: A Rigger's Checklist Hooks are one of the most important pieces of rigging hardware. They are used to attach slings to loads and are a critical component in many lifting operations. It is important to inspect hooks carefully before using them to ensure that they are safe and in good condition. Here are some of the things to look for during a hook inspection: • Cracks: Cracks in the hook body can weaken the hook and make it unsafe to use. • Spreading of the hook throat: The hook throat is the opening in the hook where the sling is attached. If the hook throat is spread, the sling may slip out and the load could fall. • Safety latch is missing or not working properly: The safety latch is a small device that prevents the hook from opening when it is not in use. If the safety latch is missing or not working properly, the hook may open and the load could fall. • SWL is not clearly marked or damaged: The Safe Working Load (SWL) is the maximum weight that the hook can safely lift. If the SWL is not clearly marked or damaged, the hook may not be safe to use. If you find any defects in a hook, you should remove it from service and have it repaired or replaced. Here are some additional tips for inspecting hooks: • Inspect the hook carefully from all angles. • Use a flashlight to inspect the hook for hidden cracks or defects. • Check the hook for signs of wear and tear. • Make sure that the hook is not bent or distorted. By following these tips, you can help to ensure that your hooks are safe and reliable for use.
