SUBJECT: Objective of the Manual RPA 1/1
1.01 The objective of this manual is to provide a supplement to the

Objective of the Manual Derrick Inspection Task Lists and Work Instructions that are
managed within the P3M Maintenance Management System.
This manual does not replace or supersede the P3M.
Some years ago, Maersk Drilling recognized that new equipment

was introduced into the Drilling Industry and increased inspections
were required for areas such as the derrick.
The manual provides details and photographic images that can
serve as reference for the staff involved with planning an execution
of Derrick Inspection work identified in P3M.
The manual is a reflection of the focus on prevention of dropped
objects.
Further, Maersk Drilling or Operator may issue and implement

“Dropped Objects Campaigns” from time to time.
