The standard is based on Norwegian regulations, European and international standards, and companies' internal specifications and procedures on the safe use of lifting equipment.

The standard does not apply to manual lifting where no lifting equipment is used. It does not cover the use of fall protection equipment.

NORSOK R-005 is now available both in English and Norwegian.
