Revised National Safety Alert No. 4
October 6, 2000
Shackle
Failures
The Minerals Management Service is revising
Safety Alert No. 4 by deleting misleading information on the appearance of
the inferior shackles. The revised Safety Alert follows:
The Minerals Management Service has learned that some operators in the Gulf of Mexico have discovered shackles in use at their facilities that have failed in crane and other lifting operations. Some of the inferior shackles were discovered on the swing ropes at some facilities. The inferior shackles in question were manufactured outside the United States, and are not on the companies' lists of approved shackles.
This safety alert is provided for information purposes only. The Minerals Management Service has no regulations requiring that certain shackles be used on the Outer Continental Shelf. The Minerals Management Service requests your attention to this important matter.
For further information, please contact Joe Levine, (703) 787-1033.
