Rig Inspection Workshop
This practical workshop equips participants with the knowledge and skills needed to perform rig inspections effectively. Through a combination of theory, case studies, and hands on exercises, participants will learn how to identify hazards, evaluate rig equipment, detect potential failure points, and ensure compliance with safety regulations and operational standards. The course emphasizes real world inspection techniques for both onshore and offshore drilling units, fostering a proactive safety culture and reducing the risk of incidents. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to: Conduct comprehensive rig inspections using checklists and industry best practices Identify and assess potential equipment and structural hazards Recognize early signs of equipment failure or wear Evaluate compliance with HSE and regulatory standards Accurately document inspection findings and recommend corrective actions Communicate risks and non conformities to relevant stakeholders.
