本新培训标准是根据RP 2D第7版的培训要求（附录H）制定的。RP 2D的附录删除了附录H，现在用户应参考RP 2D-2了解有关人员培训的信息。2D-2的第一版增强了之前测试项目的稳健性，这是一种改进的动手测试方式，将增强能力和对安全协议的理解。作为API 2D和API 2C的配套标准，本标准确立了海上基座式起重机安全操作和维护人员培训的一般原则。本标准还为寻求起重机起重工、操作员或检查员资格的人员提供了要求和建议。2D-2中修订的培训要求将有助于提高海上现场的工人安全，其目标是通过减少坠落事故的数量，同时提高生产率，并努力消除损害造成的经济损失，从而提高行业安全。 RP 2D-2意味着在基座式起重机的操作安全性、维护和可持续性方面全面改进，提高这些关键起重硬件的整体寿命。

This new training standard was developed from the training requirements (Annex H) in the 7th Edition of RP 2D. An addendum to RP 2D removes Annex H, and now users should refer to RP 2D-2 for information on personnel training. This 1st Edition of 2D-2 enhances the robustness of previous test programs an improved hands-on style of testing that will strengthen competency and understanding of safety protocols. This standard establishes general principles for the training of personnel for safe operations and maintenance of offshore pedestal-mounted cranes, as a companion to API 2D and API 2C. This standard also provides requirements and recommendations for personnel seeking qualification as a crane rigger, operator, or inspector.The revised training requirements in 2D-2 will help enhance worker safety at offshore sites, with the goal of improving industry safety by reducing the number of drop incidents while boosting productivity and working to eliminate the economic losses that stem from damage. RP 2D-2 means all around improvements when it comes to operational safety, maintenance, and sustainability of pedestal-based cranes, improving the overall lifespan of these key pieces of lifting hardware.
