An essential part of this offshore evacuation process is the use of totally enclosed motorised personnel survival craft (TEMPSC) to facilitate the removal of personnel from an unsafe or threatened facility.
Installations and facilities can include:
offshore rig/installation
floating production platforms.
Some operations technicians will be allocated responsibility for the coordination and supervision of the evacuation process. These personnel would:
coordinate and facilitate the assembly, boarding and launch of TEMPSC
operate communications and navigation systems
operate, manoeuvre and navigate TEMPSC to facilitate safe evacuation and recovery of personnel.
Generally the operations technician would be part of a team. However in an emergency they may be expected to be capable of performing all parts of this unit on an individual basis.
Operations technicians undertaking offshore operations can sometimes require evacuation involving the use of water craft and survival at sea. Due to the isolation of offshore installations and facilities, offshore evacuation procedures involve significant differences from standard onshore evacuation procedures.
