3.12 Drillers Cabin Communication

Has the communication in the driller's cabin been considered with respect to:

  1. Communication between the driller's cabin and other control cabins in the drilling module?
  2. Activation of communication equipment whilst operating drilling equipment?
  3. Communication between driller cabin and drill floor personell?

It is important that the communication between the driller's cabin and other control cabins in the drilling module is easy to perform. The communication equipment should be designed based upon an analysis of the communication needs. The communication equipment should be designed to protect against inadvertent operation.
