Chapter 5 Resources
Chapter Summary:
-
Safety culture in action:
Helideck rules exist because rotor arcs are unforgiving; a misstep becomes a platform-wide safety lesson and impromptu aerodynamics class. -
Drills that matter:
Weekly FSD/ESD/Abandon Platform drills, lifeboat familiarization, and measured response times build muscle memory. -
Humility & judgment:
One generous loan of a voltmeter ends with burnt electronics—teaching prudent control of tools and standards. -
Takeaway:
The platform is teacher, boss, and protector—rigor + respect keep everyone alive and productive.
Additional Notes:
The bright orange colored lifeboats are boarded, lowered to the sea and driven around a bit to make sure platform crew can escape using the boat in case of an impending disaster.
