Ship’s Familiarization

...it is the responsibility of each crewmember to become familiar with the geography of the ship, and in particular, the location and types of the various life-saving appliances and fire fighting equipment and the safest emergency

escape routes and exits.

Although every effort is made by the responsible Officers to ensure that crewmembers are given maximum opportunity to familiarize the ship...

What is my task and do I understand what to do?

Where do I have to appear?

Who gives the orders and to whom shall I report?

What are the different alarm signals?

Development of an Accident

•Hazard/s• A composition or component of danger.

•Examples:•Oily rag•Problematic crew•Unearthed ullaging device

•Danger• is a situation brought about the presence or combination of hazards.• without hazard there is no danger.

•Examples:•Oily rag left on deck.•Problematic crew walking on deck with reduced concentration.•Unearthed ullaging device lowered in cargo tank with highly volatile / flammable cargo.

◦ Accident is an unwanted occurrence that is triggered by the presence

of danger.. without danger there is no accident.

Examples: The oily rag left on deck caught fire due to

spontaneous combustion. Problematic crew walking on deck with reduced

concentration, fell in a tank through deck opening. Unearthed ullaging device lowered in cargo tank with

highly volatile / flammable cargo. Discharge of static electricity occurred causing an explosion.

At sea 16th March 2008

On 10 March 2008 Catering Boy was cleaning floors in the accommodation. For this purpose he mixed a cleaning agent containing Natrium hypochlorite solution with hydrochloric acid, causing chemical fumes to form.

During the night from 10th to 11th March, the eyes of catering boy started to itch and turned out to be red in the morning.

Later on the 11th March he reported to the 2nd Officer, who gave him Terramycin N eye ointment for treatment.

46

On 12th March catering boy reported the incident to the master who ordered to flush his eyes with water, to apply wet eye pads and continue the treatment with Terramycin N.

Upon arrival in Dublin, being the next port, on 17th March 2008 he will see a doctor.

On investigation by the Master what happened, he discovered the erroneous mixing of the cleaning agents.

The text on the plastic bottles holding the cleaning agents and the hydrochloric acid turned out to be in Dutch only. (as both products were of Dutch makers)

47

48

On the holder of the cleaning agent a clear warning was [placed (in Dutch) never to mix it with any other cleaning liquid. Needless to say that mixing it with hydrochloric acid was extremely dangerous.

On questioning the catering boy he turned out not to be aware of that and he also was not aware of what hydrochloric acid really is and of the dangers of it.

The catering boy did not wear rubber of plastic chemical resistant gloves and eye protection when he handled the hydrochloric acid

By aiming efforts at the base of the triangle, i.e. at unsafe practices, one is working directly on preventing accidents ever happening.

INTRODUCTION

60

◦ Hazard/s, Danger and Accident are dependent of each other.

◦ By eliminating the source, accident can be prevented.◦ Hazard is the source, therefore if one eliminates hazard/s,

a SAFE CONDITION is achieved.

61

In some instance, not al l hazards can be eliminated, but can be controlled.

For example:In a tanker vessel loaded with cargo, the cargo

is a hazard itself, we apply measures to this cargo by introducing inert gas in the tank to prevent f ire or explosion.

62

63

What can be done to address these risks?

• develop a list of countermeasures that can be used to preventor reduce the consequences associated with the hazardsor potential accidents.

Effective countermeasures are those that break the causal chain priorto the accident occurring.

The permit-to-work system is a method whereby safety procedures are specified in writing on a form issued to seafarers who are entrusted with a task which may involve work of a hazardous nature.

67

Hot Work Permit Cold Work Permit Working Aloft Permit Enclosed Space Entry Permit

68

69

Hot work is any work involving welding or burning, and other work including certain drilling and grinding operations, electrical work and the use of non-intrinsically safe electrical equipment, which might produce an ignition source.

A hot work permit is a document issued by a responsible person permitting specific hot work to be done during a specific time interval in a defined area.

70

HOT WORK PERMIT CHECKLIST

71

HOT WORK PERMIT

72

Cold work is work which cannot create a source of ignition. That means that cold work relates to any work in hazardous or dangerous area which will not involve generation of temperature condition likely to be of sufficient intensity to cause ignition of combustible gases, vapors or liquid within of adjacent to the area involved.

Examples:

• Blanking / de-blanking

• Disconnecting / connecting pipe

• Spray painting

• Brush / Roller painting or priming

• Other chemical applications

73

74

Working aloft is defined as any work above normal reach and where personnel are faced with risk or falling more than 2 meters. Typical areas are the superstructure, funnel, masts, tanks. Engine room and the ship’s side using a stage, bosun’s chair, Jacob’s ladder or lifting up personnel with the safety harness in for example pump room or engine room emergency escape.

Falling when performing work aloft can cause serious accidents. If proper safety precautions are taken, such work can be performed without accidents.

75

76

An enclosed space is one with restricted access that is not subject to continuous ventilation and in which the atmosphere may be hazardous due to the presence of hydrocarbon gas, toxic gases, inert gas or oxygen deficiency.

Entry Enclose Space permit is a document issued by a responsible person permitting entry into a space or compartment during a specific time interval.

90

If one or more of the machinery sub system fails or be damage, the vessel will not be able to move. This is considered vital system in any ship with regards to safety.

91

Main Engine Gear Shaft with coupling Propeller

92

The system is equally important since a ship without steering is in constant danger of grounding or colliding ship on congested water.

93

Steering gear Thruster Rudder with shaft or

coupling

94

Electrical Power is vital for most functions onboard and a ship without power supply is a dead ship in the same situation as a vessel without steering

95

Auxiliary engine Generator Switch Board

96

97

Fire hazard often develops in a machinery space because of small tolerances between heat source and ignitable materials, poor maintenance and bad housekeeping.

Definition:

Risk Assessment - is a process for identifying hazards and

assessing the risk (probability or consequence) posed by each.

105

A. DEFINING THE PROBLEM

What areas will this risk assessment evaluate?

• define the scope of your assessment ( in the time you’ve set aside)

1. QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF• Do you have to look at every aspect of your operation?

• Do you want to know where to get started in putting your greatest effort and resources in managing environmental or safety issues?

106

B. IDENTIFYING HAZARDS AND POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS

- get into more specific aspects of the assessment

1. QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF

• What can go wrong?

• Develop a list of hazards and related accidents that could occur

• Do not limit yourself to only those accidents that have historically occurred.

107

C. ASSIGNING FREQUENCY / LIKELIHOOD

How often will it happen?

• rate the likelihood of the hazard leading to an accident.

• Decide how frequently each of the hazards and undesirable events listedin step C could become reality and cause harm.

Assign a rating of If the frequency is

1 REMOTE = Might occur once in a lifetime

2 OCCASIONAL = Might occur every five to ten years

3 LIKELY = Might occur every one to five years

4 PROBABLE = Might occur yearly

5 FREQUENT = Might occur more than once per year

108

109

D. ASSIGNING CONSEQUENCES

What is the impact ?

• rate the impact of the hazard leading to an accident

1. QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF• How much damage would it cause?

110

111

E. DETERMINING RISK PRIORITY

Where should efforts be focused ?

• determine the risk priority score for each hazard

The risk priority score, located where the two ratings intersect will fall into one of the following four general groups:

• (VH) = Very High• (H) = High• (M) = Moderate• (L) = Low

112
