Offshore rigs in the UAE operate in extreme environments tight spaces, unpredictable weather, and high-risk suspended loads. One of the most dangerous hazards? Hand and finger injuries during:
Even with proper PPE, these tasks often require dangerously close contact putting hands in harm’s way.
To counter these hazards, an offshore team introduced the HSF Riggersafe Push Pull Hand Safety Tool Offshore Safety Pole UAE into their daily operations. Purpose-built for distance control of suspended or unstable loads, this tool allowed riggers to operate at a safe range reducing injury risk dramatically.
Challenge: Tight clearance during installation of a 10″ spool on an elevated deck posed major pinch risk.
Tool in Action:
Result: Smooth installation, zero contact, no incidents
Challenge: A swinging crate approached a live panel during crane offloading.
Tool in Action:
Result: Immediate intervention zero electrical hazard, no downtime
Challenge: A suspended control panel swayed unpredictably in offshore winds.
Tool in Action:
Result: Safe, controlled installation with zero injuries

Offshore teams using this tool reported:
The HSF Riggersafe Push Pull Hand Safety Tool in Precision Blue is designed for technicians who require pinpoint accuracy when aligning and controlling suspended or rolling loads. Blue offers high contrast in bright deck environments and against structural steel, allowing operators to maintain visual focus.
Use Case: Offshore drill floor alignment, precision positioning of valves and pipe joints.
Technical Benefit: Enhances operator accuracy during fine load adjustments, reducing misalignment errors.
Industries: Oil & Gas, Shipbuilding, Marine Cargo.
The HSF Riggersafe Push Pull Hand Safety Tool in Safety Green is ideal for plant environments, chemical facilities, and utility zones where green signals “safety” and high visibility is crucial. Green tools stand out in indoor and confined-space conditions.
Use Case: Plant maintenance, refinery equipment positioning, power utility handling.
Technical Benefit: Safety visibility in high-clutter industrial plants; reduces misplacement and tool confusion.
Industries: Petrochemical Plants, Utilities, Refineries.
The HSF Riggersafe Push Pull Hand Safety Tool in Bright Yellow is the flagship safety leader’s tool. Yellow is universally recognized as the highest visibility color, making it ideal for open yards, steel fabrication shops, and offshore decks.
Use Case: Crane lifts, module installations, heavy construction projects.
Technical Benefit: Maximum contrast visibility ensures supervisors and riggers maintain tool sightline at all times.
Industries: Offshore, Civil Construction, Steel Fabrication.
Application: Confined-space rigging, subsea modules, maintenance inside vessels.
Technical Advantage: Ultra-compact, giving operators fingertip precision in areas where standard tools cannot be maneuvered.
Application: Mechanical rooms, utility vaults, small load adjustments.
Technical Advantage: Adds slight reach over the 21” model while maintaining compact form for technician-level control.
Application: Rig floor drill pipe guiding, steel fabrication yards, marine decks.
Technical Advantage: Provides balance between control and distance, suitable for medium load handling.
Application: Offshore cargo handling, crane-assisted pipe lifts.
Technical Advantage: Delivers additional leverage for maneuvering heavy suspended loads without close proximity.
Application: Structural construction, prefabricated component handling.
Technical Advantage: Provides extended distance for safer handling while retaining operational maneuverability.
Application: Pipeline yards, large valve positioning, onshore rigging.
Technical Advantage: Unique mid-size tool offering extended torque control for pipe bundle management.
Application: Offshore platforms, ship decks, large-scale rigging setups.
Technical Advantage: Longer safety distance while maintaining controlled handling in dynamic lifting zones.
Application: Cargo handling, offshore crane operations, marine load transfers.
Technical Advantage: Long reach provides maximum distance from heavy swinging loads, reducing operator risk.
Application: Extreme offshore environments, bulk cargo, and high-risk lifts.
Technical Advantage: Maximum operator clearance, ensuring hands never enter pinch zones during dangerous suspended load operations.
