About this session
Offshore, Vessel & Platform Work is a 60-minute to three-hour ergonomics session for offshore energy and marine crews dealing with vessel motion, heavy kit and limited quarters. It runs live online or in person.
Crews map how motion, ladders, stairs and heavy kit load the body across a hitch, adapt lifting and access habits for motion and weather, and plan recovery that works in limited quarters.
It supports, and doesn't replace, your installation's safety procedures, permits and required training. Ongoing pain or fatigue is worth discussing with the medic, occupational health or a doctor.
Crews leave with practical habits for safer lifting and better recovery across a hitch.
