5.11 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Whilst making the transfer, all personnel must be equipped with appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment. Each location and transfer activity will demand a range of differing levels of PPE and
RML recommend that PPE requirements are evaluated in recognition of the particular activity and
environmental risks that exist at each location. Some items for consideration whilst establishing PPE
are:
i. Survival rates in water (summer and winter).
ii. Wind temperature ranges.
iii. Proximity of overboard rescue facility, fast rescue boat (FRB), standby vessels.
iv. Deployment time and personnel capacity of each rescue craft.
v. Drill timings and multiple casualty scenarios.
vi. Routine and non-routine offshore activities that might provide source of risk.
The Operator must decide the recommended minimum standard for personal protective equipment
requirement according to local conditions, regulations, standards and individual activity risk
assessments.
