2、 TX 77060 USA Foreword Foreword (1 February 2016) This Guide, originally published in May 2002, has undergone significant revision. Key revisions areas include a change in the Whole-body Vibration (WBV) and Noise measurement and evaluation methodology and criteria, changes to the ambient Lighting me
3、thodology and criteria, and changes to the Accommodation Area criteria. These revisions are due to several factors including: 1. Input from industry (i.e., Owners, designers, and construction yards), 2. Revisions to standards referenced in this Guide 3. Revised statutory regulations 4. Changes in cu
4、rrent installation design practices and principles ABS has produced this Guide for Crew Habitability on Offshore Installations in order to provide a single source for habitability criteria suitable for offshore installations. This Guide may be applied to installations falling under the categories of
5、 tension leg platforms (TLPs), floating production, storage and offloading (FPSOs), floating, storage and offloading (FSOs), spars, fixed platforms or any other buoyant or non-buoyant structure supported by or attached to the seafloor. This Guide does not apply to offshore service vessels, dredgers,
6、 or mobile offshore drilling units such as self-elevating drilling units (SEDUs), column-stabilized drilling units, or drillships. These types of vessels are covered in other ABS Habitability Guides*. This Guide provides the assessment criteria and describes the measurement methodology for obtaining
7、 a Habitability notation. It is intended for use by installation Owners, operators or companies requesting an optional notation of offshore installation Habitability (HAB(OS), offshore installation Habitability Plus (HAB+(OS), or offshore installation Habitability Plus Plus (HAB+(OS) for offshore in
8、stallations. For the HAB(OS) level, this Guide focuses on five (5) categories of habitability criteria that can affect task performance and can be controlled, measured, and assessed in personnel work, rest, and recreation areas of offshore installations. These categories are: personnel accommodation
9、 area design, whole-body vibration (separate criteria for accommodation areas and work spaces), noise, indoor climate and lighting. For the HAB+(OS) level, this Guide invokes more stringent accommodation area, whole-body vibration, and noise criteria aimed at increasing personnel comfort and safety.
10、 For the HAB+(OS) level there are more stringent whole-body vibration, noise, and indoor climate criteria. To be awarded any of these notations, an installation must meet the appropriate prescriptive criteria across the various habitability categories. In addition to the HAB notation assignment, at
11、the Owners request, ABS may review the accommodation area design for compliance with ILO MLC, 2006 Title 3 requirements, as related to the MLC-ACCOM notation. * Note: The other ABS Habitability Guides include: ABS Guide for Crew Habitability on Ships, ABS Guide for Crew Habitability on Workboats, an

36、l. The ABS Guide for Crew Habitability on Offshore Installations has been developed with the objective of improving the quality of personnel performance by improving working and living environments in terms of accommodation area design and ambient environmental qualities. These habitability criteria
37、 have been chosen to provide a means to help reduce personnel fatigue, improve performance and safety, and to assist with personnel recruiting and retention. 2 Application (1 February 2016) This Guide is applicable to new and existing offshore installations for which an optional offshore installatio
38、n Habitability (HAB(OS), offshore installation Habitability Plus (HAB+(OS), or offshore installation Habitability Plus Plus (HAB+(OS) notation has been requested. The habitability criteria are a measure of the acceptability of personnel accommodation areas and work spaces for living and working. In
39、addition to the HAB notation assignment, at the Owners request, ABS may review the accommodation area design for compliance with ILO MLC, 2006 Title 3 requirements, as related to the MLC-ACCOM notation. ABS has produced this Guide for Crew Habitability on Offshore Installations in order to provide a
40、 single source for habitability criteria suitable for offshore installations. This Guide may be applied to installations falling under the categories of tension leg platforms (TLPs), floating production, storage and offloading (FPSOs), floating, storage and offloading (FSOs), spars, fixed platforms,
41、 or any other buoyant or non-buoyant structure supported by or attached to the seafloor. This Guide does not apply to offshore service vessels, dredgers, or mobile offshore drilling units such as self-elevating drilling units (SEDUs), column-stabilized drilling units, or drillships. These types of v
42、essels are covered in other ABS Habitability Guides. 3 Scope This Guide focuses on five (5) habitability aspects of offshore installation design and layout that can be controlled, measured and assessed. These five (5) aspects are broken into two (2) categories in this Guide, personnel accommodation
43、areas and the ambient environment. Accommodation area criteria pertain to dimensional and outfitting aspects of spaces and open deck areas where personnel eat, sleep, recreate and perform routine daily activities. The ambient environmental aspects of habitability pertain to the environment that pers
44、onnel are exposed to during periods of work, leisure and rest. Specifically, this Guide provides criteria, limits and measurement methodologies for the following: i) Whole-body Vibration (separate criteria for personnel accommodation areas and work spaces) ii) Noise iii) Indoor Climate iv) Lighting
45、The criteria provided in this Guide are based on currently available research data and standards for the purpose of improving personnel performance and providing a base level of habitability and elements of safety related to habitability. While producing this Guide, ABS has taken a practical approac
46、h to measurements, test personnel (Testing Specialists) and test equipment. ABSGUIDE FOR CREW HABITABILITY ON OFFSHORE INSTALLATIONS .2016 1 Section 1 General 4 Terminology (1 February 2016) ABS Recognized Ambient Environmental Testing Specialists: Companies providing test or measurement services on
47、 behalf of the Owner of an offshore installation or shipyard for the purposes of meeting any of the ABS offshore installation Habitability (HAB(OS), HAB+(OS), HAB+(OS), notation requirements. Approval of the Testing Specialist for offshore installations may also allow for testing and measurement ser
48、vices for other ABS Habitability, Comfort, and MLC notations. Ambient Environment: Ambient environment refers to the environmental conditions that personnel are exposed to during periods of work, leisure or rest. Specifically, this Guide provides criteria and limits for whole-body vibration, noise,
49、indoor climate and lighting. Associated Documentation: Documents referenced in this Guide that are needed to provide measuring techniques and further guidance. Dynamic Positioning: A system to automatically maintain an installations position and heading by controlling propellers and/or thrusters. Dynamic positioning can maintain a position to a fixed point over the bottom, or in relation to a moving object (such as another vessel). It can also be used to position the installation at a favorable angle towards wind, waves, and current. Fixed Installation: Bottom-founded offshor
