Sign of the times

Posted to on Share:

Leading oil and gas company Perenco says it has become the first operator to install a digital safety sign on its offshore oil rigs. The custom designed display from specialists Messagemaker Displays, relays continual updates on critical safety information and also features a temperature window.

The new sign, which is positioned adjacent to a connecting door, features a message of the day, comprising a single scrolling line of text in bright red LEDs that provides a crystal clear display, viewable from a distance and on approach. Supplied with all the necessary software, the system allows a series of messages to be programmed into the display, offering an instant update on key safety issues.

A dedicated temperature window enables staff to monitor changes in local conditions at any given time, an important safety requirement aboard the company’s rigs.

Colourful and visually striking, the wall-mounted 1200mm x 400mm aluminium display is finished in a white powder coating, personalised with custom-produced vinyl graphics.
