How we are making crane operations safer at Abyss
Targeted training, risk assessment and new procedures aim to make lifting operations at sea safer.
In brief
Targeted training, risk assessment and new procedures aim to make lifting operations at sea safer.
Crane work in aquaculture involves heavy equipment, movement at sea and changing working conditions. Abyss works with KIS Kompetanse on training tailored to the challenges of working at sea.
Greater loads on cranes
Heavier equipment and higher customer expectations make risk assessment, correct use and maintenance more important. The aim is a culture of safe crane operation and professional pride.
A new safety procedure
A multidisciplinary working group of operations managers, crew, the technical department and HSE representatives assessed the risks of lifting operations and developed specific measures.
The training draws on real incidents, practical exercises and a shared understanding of when work should be stopped or replanned.
Continuous improvement
Systematic maintenance, better planning and open reporting aim to reduce risk and make crane operations safer across the fleet.
