Course Overview

Manriding operations are primarily conducted to safely access elevated structures, such as derricks, for maintenance or operational tasks. This method is frequently used in the oil and gas industry, where personnel need to work at heights that are otherwise challenging to reach using standard ladders or scaffolding. The process involves using specialized lifting equipment, like cranes or winches, to hoist personnel securely to these high locations.

Key Components of Manriding Operations:

• Safety Procedures: Safety is the top priority in manriding operations. This involves conducting a thorough risk assessment, following strict protocols, using certified equipment, and ensuring all personnel involved are fully trained. Emergency procedures should also be in place.
• Specialized Equipment: Manriding operations require specialized lifting equipment designed for personnel transport, such as manriding winches, cranes, and harnesses. The equipment must meet industry standards, be regularly inspected, and properly maintained.
• Rigging and Harnessing: Proper rigging is essential to ensure that personnel are securely attached to the lifting equipment. The use of certified manriding harnesses and ropes, along with secure attachment points, minimizes the risk of accidents.
• Legal and Regulatory Compliance: Manriding operations are subject to strict regulations, varying by industry and region. These regulations cover the type of equipment used, maintenance practices, training requirements, and operational limits. Compliance with these standards is essential to avoid accidents and legal issues.
• Pre-Operation Inspections: Before any manriding operation, a thorough inspection of the equipment and rigging must be carried out. This ensures that the equipment is functioning correctly and that all safety systems are in place.
