F.A.R
Me and a colleague just had a discussion about something called fatal Accident Rate (F.A.R) which is how many fatalities per 100 million exposed hours.
As my colleague is offshore on the Snorre A rig right now it was natural to discuss the F.A.R value for traveling by Helicopter.
F.A.R values for normal transportation is:
Airplane: 56
Car: 25
Ship/Boat: 9.1
Train: 6.2
Therefore it was a bit alerting that travel by helicopter had a FAR value of 160...
Well well, could be worse...
Anyway; I had enough, I'm going home to watch a re-run of Seinfeld.
Good Night
