2004: Crane Tech Hosts MMS Meeting
| |
Crane Tech hosts two national meetings on
Offshore Platform Crane Safety. Persons in
attendance represented many of the largest
players in the offshore industry, including;
Shell Exploration and Production Company,
ExxonMobil, Chevron, Rowan Drilling, Seatrax
Cranes, members of various API committees, and many
others. Approximately fifty-five persons
attended each of the two conferences.
Mr. Joe Gordon, Chief of Safety Management MMS,
Gulf of Mexico Region, was a tremendous help as
Crane Tech and Dynamic Cranes pulled together
this joint industry conference after a year of
increased crane incidents in the GOM region.
The focus of the meeting was to educate industry
professionals on how crane regulations are
developed and how industry professionals can
affect future safety regulations.
Dan and Andre co-chaired the meetings and were
subsequently asked by Mr. Rhome to work on a new Offshore
Crane Committee that focuses on accident reduction for temporary
platform cranes.
