Manriding Operations Safety

An awareness course for drilling and workover rig crews, winch operators, supervisors and HSE advisers on lifting a person with a manriding winch in the derrick, mast or moonpool. It covers why manriding is a last resort, the dedicated manriding winch and harness, planning and isolation, roles, checks, communication, the ride itself, rescue and equipment upkeep. It is awareness training only: it does not make anyone a competent rider or winch operator, which needs supervised practical training and assessment by the employer.
