The RISKOP project will target the identification and management of risk factors in IMR (Inspection, maintenance and repair of subsea installations) operations, anchor handling and lifting operations offshore. Such operations carry potentials for both maj or and minor accidents. The project will study both types of accidents but the main focus will be to study everyday activities, behaviour and decisions that contribute to a successful operation. Our partners represent companies covering the total chain of activities within the actual operations; oil companies, drilling company, offshore shipping companies, training and course providers, simulator centre and producer. Our researhers comes from highly recognised Norwegian, European and American Universi ties and are personally highly recognised. The team cover several expertieses. The 20 researchers represent in total 286 research years of experience, have produced 554 articles and have a total of 432 years of experience. The project consists of five wo rk packages, with the first three covering the three types of operations, number four will study the relations between vessels/rig and shore offices and the impact of risk factors. The fifth WP will study and design the most efficient and effective traini ng programs to be tested in simlulators, in the company training programs and the maritime, tecnical and management education at the University College (HSH). We will use a combination of observational methods and in-dept interviews combined with focus g roup discussions onboard and onshore to develop the understanding of risk factors and how they are managed. This will be supplemented by quantitative questionnaires to map especially the relations between sea and shore. We will develop a design for onboa rd discussions and learning from identified risk factors and situations and effective ways to familiarise the crew to awareness. The project will cover a period of four years and be managed by HSH.
