The Safety Problem

Over a sustained period, it was identified that a high number of safety alert observations and events were related to tubular cargo handling injuries on supply vessels, with several people narrowly escaping serious injury.

This was contributed to:

  • Crew climbing on pipe to access slings
  • Access to safe havens restricted
  • Access to escape routes restricted
  • Pipe displacement due to operational conditions
  • Deck space restrictions
