Being away from home for sustained periods of time on offshore duty within a marine environment can be difficult for individuals to be apart from their family and friends. It can also be difficult for loved ones within the realisation of the potential risks and hazards which accompany working on a boat or ship. Their fears can be alleviated by the legal obligation which binds all employers to install health and safety requirements across an entire vessel, whether it is providing appropriate clothing for each respective task or training towards using heavy machinery. Safety measures and precautions are also vital within assuring crew members that their safety and well-being is of utmost importance of their employer which can elevate work performance and peace of mind.

After a rigorous day of hard graft, all crew members require and deserve a secured, comfortable place in which to relax and catch some sleep. This can be attained through the installation of accommodation modules which are available in a range of sizes and internal capacity (companies can choose from 1, 2, 4 or 8 man modules). Security measures are in place ...
... with a60 doors and windows to prevent from flames or water entering the module during a fire or flood in the boat or vessel. HVAC systems are standard installations which provide a perfect environment to reside in when off-duty. All accommodation modules include a shower and toilet facility to ensure cleanliness and personal hygiene is maintained at all times which can be important towards the prevention of illness spreading across a vessel.

In addition to a60 doors, all modules are fitted with important safety measures in case of an emergency. A fire and gas detection system is critical, given the machinery used across a vessel; any hazard is sufficiently dealt with by a sprinkler system and fire dampers, with emergency lighting available if water affects the main power supply. In full compliance with SOLAS regulations, modules are fully functional installations; this can be adapted for many other purposes, such as a canteen or locker room to provide a perfect living environment for all crew members.
