Abstract

Performance-shaping factors (PSFs) are used to address the strengths and weaknesses of workers performing escape and evacuation activities. These PSFs are time, environmental factors as stressors, complexity of activities, experiences and training, interaction between workers and emergency equipment, workers’ physical conditions, and procedures. This paper presents a survey work on fitness for the duty of workers performing basic offshore survival and emergency response training. The training provides credible scenarios of escape and evacuation in case of an emergency of offshore installations in tropical waters. The survey is conducted among participants of the tropical basic offshore safety induction & emergency training with emergency breathing system. Sixteen participants of the training voluntarily answered the set of questionnaires. The survey work addresses the fitness for duty among workers performing escape and evacuation on offshore installations. Survey results indicate that workers must have good physical conditions and mental fitness in order to accomplish the escape and evacuation activities.

Bahasa Abstract

Faktor-Faktor Pembentuk Kinerja Personil yang Melaksanakan Evakuasi dan Penyelamatan Jiwa pada Instalasi Lepas Pantai di Perairan Tropis. Faktor-faktor pembentuk kinerja (PSF) digunakan untuk tujuan kekuatan dan kelemahan para pekerja yang melaksanakan aktivitas-aktivitas penyelamatan dan evakuasi. PSF ini merupakan faktor-faktor waktu, lingkungan sebagai penekan, kompleksitas aktivitas, pengalaman dan pelatihan, interaksi antara para pekerja dan perlengkapan emergensi, kondisi fisik pekerja, dan prosedur. Naskah ini menghadirkan suatu kerja survai terhadap kecocokkan tugas para perkerja yang melaksanakan pelatihan dasar bertahan hidup dan respons emergensi. Pelatihan tersebut menyajikan skenario-skenario yang masuk akal tentang penyelematan diri dan evakuasi pada kasus suatu emergensi (keadaan darurat) instalasi lepas pantai di perairan tropis. Survai tersebut dilaksanakan di antara para peserta pelatihan dasar induksi dan emergensi penyelematan lepas pantai tropis dengan sistem pernapasan emergensi. Enam belas peserta pelatihan secara suka rela menjawab sekumpulan kuisoner (pertanyaan). Kerja survai ditujukan pada kecocokkan tugas di antara para pekerja yang melaksanakan penyelematan jiwa dan evakuasi pada instalasi lepas pantai. Hasil-hasil survai menunjukkan bahwa para pekerja harus memiliki kondisi fisik dan kesiapan mental yang baik untuk melaksanakan aktivitas penyelematan nyawa dan evakuasi.
