What does a safe lifting appliance look like?

• All hazards are eliminated in

design
• Redundant/double mechanisms
and safety systems
• No risk assessment or planning
needed for the operation
• Errors performed by operator do
not lead to any risk. (Everybody
can operate without training)
• Zero incidents and accidents

NORSOK R-002 Lifting Equipment Rev.2
• Validity – Norway - Petroleum installations offshore and onshore + MODU’s ?

• Revision started October 2007.

• Main target was to develop new standard for Launching and recovery appliances
• Promotes the principle of inherent design
• Administrative requirements, as CE marking, certificate of compliance etc. is not a
part of this standard.
• Refers to existing standards where available, mainly EN Standards.
• Additional requirements to describe or raise the safety level for the equipment.
• The work group consists basically of the «3 parties» (employer, employee and
authorities) and a consultant (Det Norske Veritas), that prepares the first draft.

• Emergency lowering for all power driven lifting appliances.

• Emergency Operation System (EOS) for complex lifting appliances at floating
installations, and for lifting of persons
• Design to avoid falling objects. Ref. to OLF «Reliable securing»

10 Classification: Internal 2012-02-20

Annex A Launching and recovery appliances
• Preliminary edition – Referred to by PSA as a recognised standard February 2011
• Functional requirement from DNV standard for free fall lifeboats + SOLAS and
Maritime Authority
• Relevant load conditions and load combinations (γn = 1.5 for lifting persons, training, launching in 16
m Hs, test loads, environmental loads, retrieval mode, secondary means of launching etc.)

• Relevant SOLAS tests + NORSOK tests of prototype, FAT and installation

• Safety measures in line with Machinery Directive for lifting appliances when people
are lifted or lowered (in boat).
• Lifeboats launched by falls and winch: «Pull and go» lowering, automatic release at
sea, manual back up system to avoid re entry and high dynamic factors.
• Strength calculations of davit, MOB boat and its release mechanism and the elastic
pendant when launched by offshore crane

11 Classification: Internal 2012-02-20

Annex B Material handling
• Global design of installations and plants to facilitate safe material handling
• Prioritised philosophy for Material handling (fork lift truck, elevators, lorry mounted cranes, mobile
cranes)

• Permanent arrangement or a description for lifting, for equipment weighing more

than 25 kg – differentiated according to maintenance interval.
• Lifting zone map for the installation
• Risk assessment and High risk applications
• Clear view from main cranes operator station to main landing areas

lifetime.

12 Classification: Internal 2012-02-20

Annex C Lifting accessories (G11)

• Special designed equipment for lifting at drill floor is defined as lifting equipment.
