Abstract

Fatigue is a significant concern in the offshore oil and gas industry, posing risks to both resources and lives. This study aims to assess fatigue levels among daily trippers on offshore platforms and compare them across different job roles. The Offshore Fatigue Assessment Application (OFAA) was developed to measure fatigue in Malaysian offshore workers, focusing on alert response and lapses. A total of 51 participants were involved, with 31 in Crew A and 20 in Crew B. Based on the results, Crew A exhibited fatigue, with only 3 out of 12 data collection points showing an average reaction time (RT) below 500 ms, mainly during post-work periods. Crew B also experienced fatigue, with only 1 out of 12 data collection points showing an average RT below 500 ms, occurring during mid-work. While Crew B displayed fatigue during pre-work and mid-work, they generally maintained alertness during their sessions. Overall, Crew A consistently faced lapses in alertness, while Crew B showed fatigue during pre-work and mid-work but remained alert during their sessions. These findings highlight varying fatigue levels among offshore personnel, emphasizing the need for targeted fatigue management strategies in this industry.

开发离岸疲劳评估应用程序，以衡量马来西亚离岸工人的疲劳程度

疲劳是近海石油和天然气行业的一个重大问题，对资源和生命都构成风险。本研究旨在评估海上平台每日出海工人的疲劳程度，并对不同工作角色的疲劳程度进行比较。开发了海上疲劳评估应用程序（OFAA）来测量马来西亚海上工人的疲劳程度，重点是警报反应和失误。结果显示，船员 A 表现出疲劳，12 个数据采集点中只有 3 个点的平均反应时间（RT）低于 500 毫秒，主要集中在下班后时段。船员 B 也出现了疲劳现象，12 个数据收集点中只有 1 个点的平均反应时间低于 500 毫秒，且发生在工作中期。虽然 B 组人员在工作前和工作中表现出疲劳，但他们在工作过程中一般都能保持警觉。总体而言，船员 A 始终面临警觉性下降的问题，而船员 B 在工作前和工作中表现出疲劳，但在工作过程中仍保持警觉。这些发现凸显了近海作业人员疲劳程度的差异，强调了在这一行业中制定有针对性的疲劳管理策略的必要性。

期刊介绍： Process Safety Progress covers process safety for engineering professionals. It addresses such topics as incident investigations/case histories, hazardous chemicals management, hazardous leaks prevention, risk assessment, process hazards evaluation, industrial hygiene, fire and explosion analysis, preventive maintenance, vapor cloud dispersion, and regulatory compliance, training, education, and other areas in process safety and loss prevention, including emerging concerns like plant and/or process security. Papers from the annual Loss Prevention Symposium and other AIChE safety conferences are automatically considered for publication, but unsolicited papers, particularly those addressing process safety issues in emerging technologies and industries are encouraged and evaluated equally.
