ADVANTAGES OF SIMULATOR TRAINING

The development of the Crane Simulator hasbeen partially funded by the Health and SafetyExecutive (HSE) - thus it has their fullbacking.

The HSE has agreed that the simulator can be

used for 2 yearly crane operator assessmentsas required by British Standards BS 7121 PartEleven.

The simulator can be used for reassessment ofa crane operators existing level ofcompetence. It should not be used to movean operator to a higher level of competence.

COST/ OPERATIONAL ADVANTAGES

No disruption to offshore operations.No requirement for supply vessel presence.

Event is not weather dependent

Saving on helicopter seats/transportation.

No day rate charges for crane operator assessor totravel offshore.

Crane operators can be assessed during their leavetime.

The crane operator is trained in the correct responses toemergency situations that can not be exercised

offshore.

Use of the simulator is HSE approved.

The most cost effective way to comply with BS 7121

Part 11 re-assessment requirements.
