Offshore oil rigs

High elasticity is also not utilised in the main application of chlorosulphonated polyethylenes, in wire and cable coating, which consume about 40% of output. The combination of heat and oil resistance has led to widespread use as sheathing for nuclear power cables, offshore oil rig cables and in diesel electric locomotives. Other uses include chemical plant hose, spark plug boots and as a base for flexible magnetic strips. 

Nonprocess Refers to industries that do not comprise a part of the CPI as their primary function, but which use comparable or equivalent complex equipment systems to perform their function, such as nuclear power plants, fossil fuel plants, and offshore oil rigs.

Slags. Slags from metals smelting and from coal-fired power plants find considerable use as blasting media for ships, offshore oil rigs, and other ironwork. The silica content of most slags is quite high, but in this form is not a health hazard (18).

The main benefit is the reduction in the number of accidents that cause injury to employees and damage to property. Another major benefit of near miss reporting is that it is easier to get to the root causes of the event since nobody has been injured or killed, so there is no pressing need for a cover-up. According to Jones et al. (1999), case studies of offshore oil rigs have indicated a 60-percent reduction in disabling injuries after the 10-fold increase in near miss incident reporting. Other reports indicate that there is a definite correlation between the number of near miss incidents reported and the reduction in the number of serious injuries experienced. The results...

This accident is considered as the deadliest offshore oil rig accident in history. Piper Alpha was a North Sea oil production platform, and it was located approximately 120 miles northeast of Aberdeen, United Kingdom. The platform became operational in 1976 and was operated by Occidental Petroleum (Caledonia) Ltd. Initially, the platform was constructed to produce crude oil, but later on with the installation of gas conversion equipment, it also started producing gas.
