Drilling and Service Platform General Best Practices
When working on drilling and service platforms:
BSEE inspectors check equipment to see if they meet standards.
- Training: All personnel should be adequately trained on general and specific HSE requirements.
- Contractors: The contractor should provide well-maintained equipment that has been properly inspected, maintained, and is in safe operating condition.
- Verification: Prior to first use, verification by a competent person that equipment complies with all requirements stipulated by regulations, the manufacturer, and industry standards should be obtained.
- Inspections: The contractor should conduct inspections of platforms as required by governmental agencies and/or regulations and immediately repair or replace any item found to be deficient.
- Before a new service platform is used on company locations, a competent and authorized person and a company representative should conduct a formal safety inspection.
- Communications: Contractors should provide the company with the latest BSEE and other regulatory agency inspection reports used to perform work for the company.
- Housekeeping: Work areas, equipment, walkways, and buildings should be kept clean and orderly at all times.
- Marine Debris: Strict observance of all environmental laws and restrictions pertinent to the local jurisdiction should be required. Throwing debris over the side of the platform should be strictly prohibited.
