MOTION
What types of motion hazards are potentially present on offshore locations?
Similar to gravity and mechanical hazards, motion hazards may be present in many different forms. Some examples include:
-
Road transport vehicles, marine vessels and moving equipment
-
Environmental conditions like flowing water, wind and waves
-
Gears, pistons and other equipment in motion
-
Vibrations from large stationary equipment and other sources
-
Body position when lifting, straining or bending
-
Man/machine interfaces like how valves are designed and installed so they can be operated with good body position
-
Dust and debris releases that might introduce airborne hazards
