Offshore Handling Tools at OTOM Services

Handling tools are an integral part of a broader solution to ensure rig worker safety in any given situation. Handling, lifting or carrying industrial items are regular activities that can cause some of the most common types of accidents that regularly afflict workers in offshore situations. That’s where offshore handling tools come in.

OTOM Services provides a range of lightweight polyethene attachments combined with aluminium staff hand safety tools that fully support a ‘Hands-Free’ working environment. Designed for rig workers, each tool has been engineered to address specific challenges during the movement and positioning of loads by supplying a robust safety solution to each operational activity.

Here’s a look at some of the tools available.

Tools in this category are used for positioning deck cargo, ranging from enclosed power packs to open-ended half-height baskets or containers. Its unique and innovative design ensures a reduction in finger and hand-related injuries.

The movement of large single pipes or bundles of drill pipes can be challenging. The arc shape profile and length of this offshore handling tool allows the handler to remain at a safe distance and hands-free at all times.

The drill pipe connection guide’s design reduces hand-to-pipe contact by allowing handlers to keep their hands clear of potential pinch/crush areas and gives them a better view of the pipe connection. When used correctly, with two handlers, this can reduce exposure to harmful drilling fluids.

This tool complements the use of tag lines by providing exceptional control of the load while giving flexibility to the handler in the movement and landing of up to 5⅞ inch pipe.

By providing tools that reduce the need to place your hands on the load physically, you are well on your way to mitigating, and ultimately, eliminating the risk associated with offshore activity. Our lightweight and durable design make them ideal for use by hand in the toughest of environments.
