Lloyd’s Register Group
Lloyd's Register 2
Our heritage is genuinely historic
• Formed in 1760 in Edward Lloyd’s coffee house to examine and ‘classify’ merchant ships according to their condition.
• The Lloyd’s Register of Ships provided a transparent record of the ‘asset’ state to any stakeholder with an interest in its ability to undertake its function.
The purpose of Lloyd’s Register
… working together for a safer world.
Lloyd’s Register Foundation
Lloyd's Register 3
Four strategic themes:
Advancement of
skills and education
Accelerating the
application of
research
Supporting excellent
scientific research
Promoting safety and public
understanding of risk
Resilience
engineering
Emergent
technologies
Human and
social factors
Structural integrity and systems performance
Four research funding priorities:
LR does not have shareholders, we are fully owned by the LR Foundation. All profits go into this foundation, which is the
largest charity in the UK, and are then spent on research projects through global industry and university partnerships.

3 Core themes that all of product development and programme efforts fall within. Data is central, our focus is on the
security and integrity of that data – which the client ALWAYS owns, we do not use clients’ data for other purposes.
In fact, in many cases the data does not even need to leave the asset or location.
Digital Team AsiaPac
Lloyd's Register 5
Our digital team for the region is based in
Singapore. Crucial to our success is the close
collaboration of digital backgrounders with
industry veterans. This ensures that we have
the knowledge of what is possible with
technology, combined with the knowledge of
what is realistically doable and effective in our
industries in any solutions that we propose.
Digital and Industry working closely together
The digital team also works closely with the
36 industry engineers in the Global
Technology Centre Singapore team that can
support digital projects as subject matter
experts and researchers.
And we have strong working relationships with
all LR’s steams
Hazardous Risk Zones
Risk Zones or “Red Zones” are restricted areas in dangerous environments that people
should not enter under normal circumstances or without authorized permission.
Two of the most common causes of risk are dropped objects and moving machinery.
Lloyd’s Register has established capabilities in this area to reduce risk and improve safety
through regulation, inspection, design and consultancy.
This presentation aims to show how Lloyd’s Register can reduce the risk to personnel by
combining our existing safety services with advanced digital capabilities in video analytics,
sensors and machine learning.

Risk / Red Zones and Hazards
Types of Hazardous Risk Zones
Lloyd's Register 7
For this presentation, we have categorized 3 types of Hazardous Risk Zones:
● Static Risk ZoneAn area designated as always hazardous.
Typically indicated with a red floor.
● Temporary Risk ZoneAn area designated as hazardous due to
a temporary activity such as maintenance.
● Moving Risk ZoneA hazardous area that moves, such as the
area below the payload of a crane.
Relevant Risk and DROPs
capabilities at Lloyd’s Register
Our existing capabilities
Lloyd's Register 8
Drops Notation
Lloyd's Register 9
● LR drilling is a combination of the acquired former
ModuSpec and West Engineering
● Original concept for DropSafe netting came from
ModuSpec
● First Class society to have a Drops notation (2011).
● We developed a calculator for determining required
strength of secondary retention cables for different
scenarios.
Dropped Objects Survey (DROPs)
Lloyd's Register 10
● Hazardous Risk Zones are commonly used
to reduce the risk from Dropped Objects.
● Lloyd’s Register’s DROPs service facilitates
the elimination of actual and potential
hazards caused by dropped objects.
● We have conducted over 300 customised
drops inspections since 2000, and
hundreds more are conducted during
standard rig condition surveys.
Risk Assessment
Lloyd's Register 11
● Analyse historical inspection data and the
asset’s incident reports
● Risk assessment of asset and surrounding
areas
● Identify types of risks: Crushing, Dropped
Objects, Explosion, etc.
● For dropped object risks we can assess not
only direct risks to people, but also to rig and
subsea facilities and objects, and potential
chain reactions.

Data Science
Connected Assets is the Brain of the platform. Able to collect data from a wide
range of sources and process it in real-time to obtain valuable insights.
Video Analytics
● Video analytics can recognise certain activities or objects in
recorded or live video streams
● It can recognise if people are wearing appropriate PPE for
example and for monitoring specified zones for activity or
changes.
● Can trigger automated events such as automated alerts, alarms
or even shutting down systems.
● There are three potential use cases for this technology:
1. Is anyone entering or moving towards a specified
Hazardous Risk Zone?
2. Are objects left in a location where / when they should not
be there. For example, a toolbox left at a maintenance
location after the maintenance has completed
3. Tracking of people based on their hard hat colour to
determine if they have access to an area or if they are
alone where they should not be.

Personal Alert Wearables
● Rugged, waterproof bracelet
● Vibrates when approaching a Risk Zone
● Bracelet and wearer do not need to be tracked by
management or third parties
● More complex wearables are available that can also
monitor medical data such as fatigue, stress, hydration
and temperature.
● Can be provided to new staff and third party contractors.
Tracking could be enabled in this case for additional
safety and buddy system conformity.
● Can be linked to an alarm / monitoring system on the
asset locally or in a central observation room (shore
based).

There are currently three viable technologies for tagging environments and equipment which can be incorporated
into a semi or fully automatic system for use-cases such as: tracking, risk area mapping, permit compliance,
identification and authorization.
Autonomous Drones
Lloyd's Register 19
• Fully autonomous
Navigates throughout sites without an on-site human operator
• High return on investment
with lower inspection services costs and lower human risk
• Detection of changes to environment
Monitor for left objects that could become dropped objects
• Preventative site maintenance and monitoring
Frequent and constant data collection enables better
maintenance planning, assets monitoring and faults
investigation
• 24/7 Operations
On-demand flight to any location within the site vicinity
• Reduce human risk
in case of fires, gas leaks or dangerous inspection missions

The proposed solution
Lloyd's Register 22
Hazardous Risk Zones
Lloyd's Register 23
LR conducts a risk assessment
of the environment together
with the client, and agree on
which zones should be
included in the pilot.
Client provides fixed cameras
with video feeds for all Static
Hazardous Risk Zones and
common Temporary Zones.
LR installs an Edge Cloud on-
site to perform video analytics
on the video feeds.
LR installs sensors and zone
mapping devices throughout
the environment, allowing the
creation and monitoring of
Temporary and Moving Risk
Zones.
LR provides wearables to a
select pilot group of staff to
alert them when they are near
or entering a risk zone.
LR provides tablets with an
app for crane and heavy
machinery operators to enable
them to be aware and plan
around any Risk Zones
relevant to their activities.
A dashboard is provided to
monitor all zones and the
ability to add new temporary
zones.
Optional: Off-site dashboard
access can be provided via the
LR cloud, this will require
internet connectivity from the
on-asset Edge Cloud.
People entering any zone
trigger an alert that is displayed
in the dashboard, sent to any
recipient via SMS or email, and
can be sent to a system that
supports this.
Risk Zones MVP (Minimum Viable Product)
Because we are confident in our solution, we offer a low-cost MVP for clients to try before committing to
a full deployment. These MVP’s can be scoped to meet the interests of the client. The following example
is for video analytics on a red zone.
● Client provides a fixed camera with a video feed of a static Hazardous Risk Zone
● LR installs an on-site edge cloud server with the connected assets platform to process the video feed
● Unauthorised people entering the zone trigger an alert that is sent to the site manager via
SMS or email. Other alerts or actions are possible but may require additional effort.
Lloyd's Register 24
DROPs Drone pilot
● LR conducts a risk assessment of the environment and Dropped Objects Survey to establish
a baseline state for the asset and create a floor and flight plan.
● LR deploys autonomous drones to monitor the environment for changes
● Detected changes are reported and appropriate people are alerted to follow up as-needed
Lloyd's Register 25
Q&A
We had some great questions after presenting, apologies if I have missed any.
● Concerns about privacyThere are a lot of concerns in this area, especially when it comes to wearables. But we are not forcing any particular implementation. The goal is to
support safety officers and reduce the human risk as much as possible. We would work closely with them to ensure any implemented technology
does not create more risk than its solving and that it is in-line with local regulations and personnel agreements. Medical monitoring wearables can
be configured to only alert the person wearing it for example, this data does not need to be shared with the wider organization. Data can also be
anonymous, so we can indicate that there have been X safety alerts within a given team without naming names. The appropriate response may
then be further training for the entire team.
● Concerns about data security
LR is very clear in that any data collected belongs to the client. How data is handled within a project can very much be controlled by the client. We
can run our platform entirely on-asset without any internet connection. Or we can send all or a subset of data back to a head office for their
overview. The implementation is entirely up to the client to decide. For cloud we have a managed LR cloud, or we can work with the clients’ private
cloud / data centre.
● Concerns about automatic actions or responses to issues by the systemActions can include simply flagging it up on a dashboard or via a notification for someone to follow-up on, all the way through to shutting down a
system automatically. Similar to privacy, we scope and implement the solution closely with the client and their relevant stakeholders. No actions are
forced and together with their requirements and the safety assessments we can make decisions together on what the appropriate responses should
be to different alerts and activities.
