Research Reports:
Offshore Technology
Provides technical information on matters specific to mobile
installations, such as the use of classification rules for Mobile
Offshore Units. It also provides information on fixed floating
Installations that use the same principles as mobile Installations.
It is based on guidance previously contained in Section 30 of the
Fourth Edition of the Health and Safety Executive's 'Offshore
Installations: Guidance on Design, Construction and
Certification'(1) which was
withdrawn in 1998. As discussed in the Foreword, whilst the text has
been re-formatted for Offshore Technology publication, the technical
content has not been updated. The appropriateness and currency of the
information contained in this document must therefore be assessed by
the user for any specific application.
