	Kids Corner - Offshore Oil and Gas Platform (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		These offshore platforms are used to drill for and produce oil and gas that we use in our schools, homes, and cars.
		Although they may look small when viewed from shore, these offshore rigs are very large and must be strong enough to withstand the huge ocean waves and strong winds that occur during a storm.
		Offshore platforms are usually constructed from steel, but sometimes they can be built of concrete.

	Herb's Welding v. Gray (1985)
		To determine whether an offshore fixed platform worker is "engaged in maritime employment" the Court should have turned to three principles that we have previously applied to such questions.
		Given these factors, I have little problem classifying the whole of the platform as a covered situs,18 either because it is an "other adjoining area customarily used by an employer in loading [or] unloading" or because it is analogous to a pier or wharf facility.
		The Court's assertion that offshore oil workers are not engaged in "maritime commerce" is similarly conclusory.

		In that case, the Court held that a welder on an offshore drilling platform was not covered by the LHWCA because he did not have the status of an "employee" within the meaning of the Act, not because such a platform could never be a covered situs.

		It is believed to be the first time in Latin America that a single crane has been used to lift the platform deck instead of multiple machines.
		The advantage of lifting an offshore platform deck in one large section was that all pipe work and other systems could be installed easily and safely at ground level.
		It was decided to use the Model 21000 with 73 m (240 ft) of boom, as the drilling platform was being built in a congested area of the fabrication yard, where required movement of the deck section necessitated the use of a single large crane.
