Anotation

This new training standard was developed from the training requirements (Annex H) in the 7th Edition of RP 2D. An addendum to RP 2D removes Annex H, and now users should refer to RP 2D-2 for information on personnel training. This 1st Edition of 2D-2 enhances the robustness of previous test programs an improved hands-on style of testing that will strengthen competency and understanding of safety protocols. This standard establishes general principles for the training of personnel for safe operations and maintenance of offshore pedestal-mounted cranes, as a companion to API 2D and API 2C. This standard also provides requirements and recommendations for personnel seeking qualification as a crane rigger, operator, or inspector.

The revised training requirements in 2D-2 will help enhance worker safety at offshore sites, with the goal of improving industry safety by reducing the number of drop incidents while boosting productivity and working to eliminate the economic losses that stem from damage. RP 2D-2 means all around improvements when it comes to operational safety, maintenance, and sustainability of pedestal-based cranes, improving the overall lifespan of these key pieces of lifting hardware.
