Incident Report

Subject:                   Offshore Information Sheet - Water Deluge Systems

Date of Email report:   Sat 20/02/2010

Report Detail:

A new offshore information sheet, 1/2010, published by the British Health and Safety Executive (HSE), provides guidance on water deluge systems, their testing requirements, data recording in relation to performance standards, and new knowledge of fire attack scenarios. It is noted that deluge testing offshore is generally being carried out as required. However, some flow measurements are not being recorded effectively, and data recorded is not being analysed to provide the best information for use in optimising maintenance and performance.
