Anti rust treatment workers on offshore drilling platforms wear anti fall devices to ensure safety protection

The erosion of steel structures by the marine environment can be called an "invisible killer". Offshore drilling platforms are exposed to high humidity and high salt spray environments for a long time, and rust prevention treatment is a key link to ensure the service life of the platform. The chloride ions in salt spray can damage the oxide layer on the metal surface, causing corrosion and peeling of steel structures. This not only affects equipment performance but may also pose a safety hazard to the structure. Therefore, regularly carrying out comprehensive rust prevention treatment is one of the core tasks of the platform's daily maintenance.

The anti rust treatment process is complex and precise, requiring multiple steps such as surface cleaning, rust removal, and coating. Workers first need to remove rust, oil stains, and old coatings from the metal surface. Common tools include high-pressure water guns, sandpaper, and rust removal machines. For steel structures in high-altitude areas, operators need to operate on scaffolding or hanging cages, and the correct use of fall arresters is crucial at this time. This device is lightweight and easy to carry, yet it can play a life-saving role in critical moments. Its sensitive braking system can respond to falling actions within 0.2 seconds, controlling the falling distance within a safe range.

The anti-corrosion coating used in the painting process needs to have strong salt spray resistance, and workers need to evenly apply multiple layers of coating to ensure coverage without dead corners. During homework, it is necessary to wear anti fall devices throughout the entire process. Even when working on seemingly flat platform edges, one should not take chances. Safety management personnel will regularly check the calibration records of fall arresters to ensure that the equipment is used within its validity period. In addition, workers are required to wear non slip shoes, protective gloves, and other equipment to prevent paint from coming into contact with the skin and causing injury. Only through scientific rust prevention treatment and strict safety protection can drilling platforms operate stably in deep-sea environments for a long time.
