The inspection includes a detailed
examination of the following:
• Helideck and surrounding
environment
• Firefighting and rescue equipment
• Competence and training of
Helideck crews
• Communication procedures
including interpretation of
environmental data
• Inspection of Maintenance Facility /
Refuelling procedures
• Emergency Response Plans
• Friction Test
We can also provide support and follow
up over the course of the validity period,
and work with you to ensure that any
deficiencies and recommendations
made as a result of the inspection are
acted upon and closed out.
FRICTION TESTING
It is sound practice to friction test
walkways and exposed helideck areas
whether a helideck net is fitted or not.
This may result in the testing of just
those deck areas that are uncovered by
netting or in the case of decks without
nets, testing across the entire surface of
the deck.
CAP437 provides guidance on the
periodicity of deck friction testing
between six months and three years
depending on surface friction test
results. To maximize efficiency,
companies may chose to have deck
surface friction checked annually,
coincident with helideck audits.
SGS offers Friction Testing services
utilising CAP 437 approved equipment.
