Analysis of Safety Requirements for Large Offshore Units Evacuation Systems. LSA safety function

Journal Title: Archives of Transport - Year 2012, Vol 24, Issue 4

Abstract

The paper presents the problems related to the effectiveness of evacuation systems for large offshore installations. The analysis of safety requirements related to the complex evacuation, escape and rescue (EER) system elements has been carried out on the basis of the reports from the accidents of offshore drilling and production platforms. The safety function developed for life saving appliances (LSA) – the 6, 10 and 20 persons liferafts is presented as an example of a method for life saving appliances safety assessment.
