2、 16855 Northchase Drive Houston, TX 77060 USA Foreword Foreword (1 February 2016) This Guide, originally published in September 2012, has undergone significant revision. Key revision areas include changes to the Whole-body Vibration (WBV), Noise, Lighting, and Accommodation Area criteria. These revi
3、sions 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 current unit design practices and principles ABS has produced this Guide for Crew Hab
4、itability on Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODUs) in order to provide a single source for habitability criteria suitable for drilling units. This Guide may be applied to vessels falling under the categories of drillships, drill barges, self-elevating drilling units (SEDUs), column stabilized drill
5、ing units (CSDUs), or any other vessel used for the purposes of drilling. This Guide does not apply to vessels such as oil or chemical tankers, bulk or combination carriers, container carriers, multi-purpose cargo vessels, offshore support vessels, spars, floating production, storage and offloading
6、(FPSOs), tension leg platforms (TLPs), or offshore service vessels. These types of vessels are addressed in other ABS Habitability Guides*. This Guide provides the assessment criteria and describes the measurement methodology for obtaining a MODU Habitability notation. It is intended for use by Owne
7、rs or companies requesting the optional notation of MODU Habitability HAB(MODU), MODU Habitability Plus HAB+(MODU), or MODU Habitability Plus Plus HAB+(MODU). For the HAB(MODU) level, this Guide focuses on five (5) categories of habitability criteria that can affect task performance and can be contr
8、olled, measured, and assessed in personnel work, rest, and recreation areas of drilling units. These categories are: personnel accommodation area design, whole-body vibration (separate criteria for accommodation areas and work spaces), noise, indoor climate, and lighting. For the HAB+(MODU) level, t
9、his Guide invokes more stringent accommodation area, whole-body vibration, and noise criteria aimed at increasing personnel comfort and safety. For the HAB+(MODU) level, there are more stringent whole-body vibration, noise, and indoor climate criteria. To be awarded any of these notations, a drillin
10、g unit must meet the appropriate prescriptive criteria across the various habitability categories. In 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 notat
11、ion. * Note: The other ABS Habitability Guides include: ABS Guide for Crew Habitability on Ships, ABS Guide for Crew Habitability on Workboats, and ABS Guide for Crew Habitability on Offshore Installations. This Guide becomes effective on the first day of the month of publication. Users are advised

36、y, productivity, morale, and overall well-being of personnel. The ABS Guide for Crew Habitability on Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODUs) has been developed with the objective of improving the quality of personnel performance and comfort by improving working and living environments in terms of acc
37、ommodation area design and ambient environmental qualities. These habitability criteria 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 applicabl
38、e to new and existing drilling units for which an optional MODU Habitability (HAB(MODU), MODU Habitability Plus (HAB+(MODU), or MODU Habitability Plus Plus (HAB+(MODU) notation has been requested. The habitability criteria are a measure of the acceptability of personnel accommodation areas and work
39、spaces for living and working. In addition to the HAB(MODU) 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 Mobi
40、le Offshore Drilling Units (MODUs) in order to provide a single source for habitability criteria suitable for drilling units. This Guide may be applied to vessels falling under the categories of drillships, drill barges, self-elevating drilling units (SEDUs), column stabilized drilling units (CSDUs)
41、, or any other vessel used for the purposes of drilling. This Guide does not apply to vessels such as oil or chemical tankers, bulk or combination carriers, container carriers, multi-purpose cargo vessels, offshore support vessels, spars, floating production, storage and offloading (FPSOs), tension
42、leg platforms (TLPs), or offshore service vessels. These types of vessels are addressed in other ABS Habitability Guides. 3 Scope This Guide focuses on five (5) habitability aspects of drilling unit design and layout that can be controlled, measured, and assessed. These five (5) aspects are broken i
43、nto two (2) categories in this Guide, personnel accommodation 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 environment
44、al aspects of habitability pertain to the environment that personnel 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 a
45、reas and work spaces) ii) Noise iii) Indoor Climate iv) Lighting ABSGUIDE FOR CREW HABITABILITY ON MOBILE OFFSHORE DRILLING UNITS (MODUs) .2016 1 Section 1 General The criteria provided in this Guide are based on currently available research data and standards for the purpose of improving personnel
46、performance and providing a base level of habitability and elements of safety related to habitability. While producing this Guide, ABS has taken a practical approach to measurements, test personnel (Testing Specialists), and test equipment. 4 Terminology (1 February 2016) ABS Recognized Ambient Envi
47、ronmental Testing Specialists: Companies providing test or measurement services on behalf of the Owner of a vessel/unit or shipyard for the purposes of meeting any of the ABS MODU Habitability (HAB(MODU), HAB+(MODU), HAB+(MODU) notation requirements. Approval of the Testing Specialist for drilling u
48、nits may also allow for testing and measurement services 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 c
49、riteria and limits for whole-body vibration, noise, indoor climate, and lighting. Associated Documentation: Documents referenced in this Guide that are needed to provide measuring techniques and further guidance. Drilling: To be considered actively drilling, the vessel/unit shall have drill pipe in the hole and shall be running all the systems normally associated with drilling operations (e.g., mud pumps, shale shakers, etc.). Tripping, running casing, driving conductor, etc., are not considered part of normal drilling operations. Dynamic Positioning: A system to automatically
