| During our
visit to the Trident 18, to capture graphic offshore scenarios for this
training package, we were impressed by the Trident-18 safety record of
1000+ days without a lost time accident, It is obvious that
their outstanding safety record was achieved because of their high safety
and quality standards which are clearly visible in daily operations.
We would like to share a few of our observations with you, in hopes that it will give you some ideas and inspiration about what can be achieved on your rig. |

As the chopper descended down to the Trident 18 we noticed the bright, white protective canopies over the port and stbd lifeboats, which we had never seen seen on any other offshore rig before. It is clear that TQM is being practiced on Trident 18. |
| Immediately upon stepping off of the Helicopter we were impressed by the clean, orderly, well painted and well maintained decks and rig structures. |  |
 |
 |
| Immediately
upon entering the Radio room to sign in, we were given one
of the Best and most informative New Arrivals Safety Briefings (click to view) which I have ever been presented, by the Rig Medic, Dr. M. Punjabi. |
 |
| After being welcomed and briefed by the Rig Supt. Arnie Lacasse, we deposited our belongings in our assigned cabin, and headed outside to explore the decks and underdecks of the rig. |
| The first impressive
safety discovery on our tour were 3 maintenance roustabouts preparing to
work in a preload tank, doing chipping and painting. These guys were
following the companies Confined Space Entry Procedures to the letter.
