Introduction
ASP Ship Management Group (ASP) has always regarded safety as being of paramount
importance.
Our concern with safety involves our employees who crew our vessels and manage the cargoes,
and contractors and visitors who frequent the vessel.
Over the years, the design of these ships has improved and the number of accidents involving
personnel has been reduced. However, far too many people are still hurt and injured because of
accidents. The great majority of these injuries are due to poor work planning, unsafe work
practices or the carelessness of individuals.
It is the person on the spot who can do more than anyone else to prevent accidents occurring
from these common causes. The prevention of accidental injuries is thus the collective
responsibility of the ship owner, the ship manager and all members of the ship’s company.
This booklet summarizes these responsibilities and ASP’s work practices and emergency
procedures. Fuller details are contained in the “Code of Safe Working Practices for Seafarers”.
Its principle purpose is to help you, the seafarer, understand what you can and must do if you are
to avoid injuring yourself or other people.
This booklet is designed to acquaint you, irrespective of rank or position, with your legal
responsibilities and obligations required by ASP’s regulations and policies. Ultimately, we all
have to work together to avoid people being injured as a result of shipboard accidents.
SAFETY
IS
EVERYONES
RESPONSIBILITY
ASP Group Page 1 PUB-1-R3

Health, Safety, Security & Environmental Policy

ASP Ship Management Group (ASP) is committed to conducting all phases of its business operations
in a manner that complies with its legal obligations in respect of promoting a healthy, safe and secure
working environment, being environmentally responsible and compliance with all relevant rules and
regulations in order to minimise the impact of its operations on Health, Safety, Security & Environment
(HSSE).
This will be achieved through the implementation of a fully documented Integrated Management
System (IMS) which satisfies the requirements and elements of the current standards of ISO 9001 &
14001 and OHSAS 18001 and the ISM and ISPS Codes.
The key to a successful IMS is the involvement and commitment of our employees. All employees
are obliged to comply with their own obligations under HSSE legislation and regulations and to take
steps within their power and responsibility to seek to ensure ASP complies with its obligations under
HSSE legislation and regulations. This commitment requires a thorough understanding of the HSSE
aspects of each task that we perform.
ASP is committed to complying with its legal obligations in respect of:
• Zero spills to the environment;

• Identifying, controlling and eliminating HSSE risks along with any legal and other
requirements;
• Encouraging open communication amongst all ASP employees, clients, suppliers, contractors
and regulators, regarding our IMS standards, procedures and performance;
• Conducting a periodical internal review process through auditing to demonstrate continuous
improvement in the company’s HSSE performance;
• Provision of Goals and Objectives and Key Performance Indicators;
• Senior Management providing employees with the appropriate training and provision of
resources for implementation of our IMS procedures which will result in a reciprocal
commitment from our employees and contractors;
• Conducting our operations, in a manner that safeguards the natural environment and the
health and safety of our employees;
• Maintaining and sustaining a full emergency response capability;
• Diligently striving to monitor and continuously improve the effectiveness of our IMS; and
• Clearly identify the relevant HSSE representatives both seagoing and ashore, such that they
can fulfil their duties in accordance with the ISM Code, ISPS Code, ISO 9001 & 14001,
OHSAS 18001, Flag State Regulations and Maritime Legislation;
• The prevention of injury and ill health amongst our employees.
Each employee shall immediately report any hazardous condition, security breach, unsafe
practices/procedures and any inappropriate behaviour in his or her work area to their line Manager.
Senior Management shall take prompt action to correct the identified issue or condition and take the
appropriate steps to prevent any reoccurrence. Employees are encouraged to continually improve our
IMS. The reporting procedures combined with periodical audits, will promote continuous improvement
in our HSSE processes and performance.
ASP expects its employees to take responsibility, a leading role in the promotion of a healthy
wellbeing, a commitment to a safe & secure working environment, the protection of the marine
environment, along with conservation of energy, to protect the vessel from any unlawful act, to safe
guard themselves and to ensure that their actions, either by example, behaviour or instructions, do not
put others or property at risk. All employees shall co-operate fully in adhering to this policy and all
relevant procedures. Contravention of this Policy may result in disciplinary action including
termination of employment.

Safety and the Law
Company Obligations
International Legislation and Local law places general duties of care on ship
owners and ship managers, as employers, to provide and maintain as far as
is practical a working environment that is safe and without risks to health.
There is also an obligation to comply with all government and industry
legislation and codes of safe working practices.
Individual Obligations
Similarly, flag state law places general duties of care on all employees to take all reasonably
practical steps to ensure their own actions, or omissions, do not create a risk, or increase an
existing risk, to the health and safety of themselves or fellow workers.
Under the Company Code of Conduct, disciplinary action can be taken when the following actions
lead to dangerous situations:
1. Acts of negligence, neglect of duty and disobedience.
2. Contravention of established safe working practices.
3. Prejudicing the safety of the ship or persons on board by neglecting or failing to perform
duties.
4. Inability to perform duties due to the adverse effects of alcohol or drugs.
An Individuals Duty of Care in the Work Place

1. Set a Good Example
2. Evaluate the Risks of your Job never let the pressure of time tempt
you into taking chances
3. Be Alert to Unsafe Conditions
4. Inspect Frequently and Productively
5. Take Immediate Corrective Action
6. Know Your Fellow Employees
7. Maintain Discipline
8. Wear appropriate Protective Clothing and Equipment

The Company’s Safety Objective

ASP believes all accidents are preventable and our objective is an Accident-Free Operation.
 ASP Ship Management has received a commitment from the Principal Ship owner as its Principal
to actively support the achievement of this objective, and in particular, to improve standards of
design and equipment as far as is reasonably practical.
 To achieve this end, ASP Ship Management has given a firm commitment to pursue high
standards of safety by providing proper training, procedures and improving the arrangements for
the exchange of information between ship and shore managements.
 All officers and senior ratings must accept that they bear a responsibility for the seafarers assigned
to their direct charge.
 All individuals must exercise self-discipline, accept responsibility for a duty of care and to prevent
accidents that may involve themselves, their shipmates or the vessel.
In addition to these general commitments and responsibilities, a safe working environment requires
seagoing personnel to:
 Look for, recognise and understand the nature of shipboard risk or hazards
 Report and rectify those hazards
 Actively participate in the all safety aspects of all shipboard operations
 Participate in the incident investigation process, so that corrective and preventative action to avoid
recurrence can be implemented effectively and promptly
 In a timely manner, report to shore management, the details of injuries and incidents
 Between all shipboard levels, facilitate discussion and open communication regarding accidents,
hazards, equipment, procedures, risks, personnel awareness and attitude.
 Think about the incident- how could have been avoided? Your input is most important.
SAFETY IS EVERYONES BUSINESS

Golden Rules
ASP's Golden Rules of Safety address the highest risk activities, that as a Company we regularly perform.
The purpose behind the Golden Rules is to provide our employees with a comprehensive understanding of
these identified risk areas and bring further awareness of the task performed.
The Golden Rules are a live document and will be reviewed each year to take into consideration any event
that has previously occurred during the year to ensure that our Golden Rules are constantly addressing
current trends and safety concerns. The number of Golden Rules will be determined each year based on
our safety performance.
The location of our "Rules" are contained as a separate publication within Annex A of this Personal Safety
Booklet (PUB-1) and it is our intention to have these Rules prominently displayed throughout the vessel to
remind all crew of our identified high risk areas.

Responsibilities of the Individual
Every individual has a Duty of Care and a responsibility to act in a safe manner that protects yourself and
your shipmates from harm. The following points are provided to assist you in achieving this.
These dot points when followed will go a long way towards preventing injury to yourself and to others:
 Ensure that each task is carried out in an orderly and safe manner.
 Where applicable, follow the vessel’s "Permit to Work" system
 Ask questions if you have any doubts as to what is expected of you.
 Always wear the specified protective clothing and equipment.
 Always think about the safety aspects of a job before starting work, prepare a Job Safety Analysis
for each step of the task.
 Use only safe and appropriate tools or equipment.
 Be appreciative of any colleague who corrects your actions when you work unsafely - remember,
this may have saved your life.
 Tactfully correct others when you see them working unsafely.
 Participate actively in safety discussions so that your own ideas may be developed to make your
ship a safer place to live and work in.
 Immediately report to your supervisor or safety representative details of all accidents, safety
opportunities, dangerous occurrences or any incident or problem relating to safety organisation or
practice.

The Role of the Supervisor

An individual looks upon his supervisor as a leader. Supervisors, by setting a good example in safety and
other issues, provide a positive role model, promoting a safe and harmonious workplace.
The following comments illustrate the required standards:
 Repeatedly emphasise safety in conversation with your personnel and set a positive example for
them to follow.
 Ensure that JSA's (Job Safety Analysis's) are completed prior to the task and the requirements are
carried out as appropriate.
 Know, understand and personally apply all safety practices and procedures that are relevant to
your own sphere of responsibility.
 Be alert to the dangers of fatigue and ensure that those who work for you do not work excessive
hours.
 Find out and properly evaluate the capabilities and limitations of those to whom work is given.
 When allocating work, include in the JSA, specific instructions on safe work practices and safety
clothing and equipment required for the particular task being undertaken.
 Be aware of the possible dangers or dangerous situations that might arise in the course of the work
to be done, be aware of other work in progress and ensure that the "Permit to Work" system is
being used when applicable.
 Regularly inspect your area of responsibility and be particularly alert to any unsafe acts or
conditions.
 Take immediate action to correct dangerous practices, and prevent unsafe acts that could lead to
injury. Failure to act and to terminate an unsafe practice will imply that you accept it, and this will
undermine your authority.
 Watch individuals at their work. Where improper routines or unsafe practices are noted, arrange for
appropriate instruction and/or training.
 Report immediately to the onboard Management Team and Safety Officers:
- All Accidents
- Safety Opportunities
- Dangerous Situations
- Any other matter or problem relating to the Safety Organisation.
Remember
Good Communications Are Essential To
Achieve Good Safety Performance

Basic Safety Rules
The following basic rules are self-explanatory, simple to follow, and must be adopted.
A large majority of serious injuries are a result of not following the basic safety procedures. Most accidents
involve injuries to hands, feet, ankles, backs and sometimes because people have not realised their
potentially dangerous position or have not foreseen the potential danger of their actions.
Always think before you act. Contemplate the possible consequences of your intended action by:
1. One hand for yourself; one hand for the ship.
2. Only follow accepted safe working practices.
3. Prevent your colleagues, whether senior or junior to yourself, from acting unsafely or dangerously. (If a
JSA is required ensure it is carried out. If a permit is required - ensure that is followed)
4. Always use the equipment and clothing provided for personal protection. Keep it in good order and
report any defects.
5. Keep your workplace clean and tidy. For example, immediately clean up spills, replace tools and
remove rubbish. Any area of the decks, flooring etc. that appears slippery must be immediately
reported and cautionary notices exhibited around the area until the problem is rectified.
6. Always inspect equipment and tools before use. Never use defective equipment.
7. If a lift is too heavy or awkward for one person, seek further assistance for the task.
8. Around the vessel, ensure all loose containers and goods are properly secured. Equipment that is not
in use must be stowed in its proper place. In a seaway, if there is a risk of equipment moving from its
stowed position and the equipment should be lashed securely. This applies particularly to gas
cylinders.
9. Ensure ladders and scaffolding are well secured and lashed when not in use.
10. When moving around the ship, never run, jump or take unsafe short cuts.
11. Do not take on more than you can handle or take any unnecessary risks.
12. Never let the pressure of time tempt you to take chances.
13. Accurately assess the capabilities, limitations and skills of your colleagues.
14. Never allow anyone suspected of being under the influence of alcohol or drugs, to enter a workplace
or take over a watch.
15. Smoke only in designated areas.
16. When off duty, behave reasonably and carefully. Protect yourself, your shipmates and your
surroundings.
17. Report any “hazard / HSSE opportunity” – these reports are the basis of improving safety and avoiding
further accidents.
18. Report every injury, however small.
19. Get into the habit of asking yourself: -
“What if the unexpected happens?”

“How can I make this job safer?”

Shipboard Practices for all Personnel

Good housekeeping i.e. by keeping the vessel shipshape and doing things in a seafarer like manner can
prevent many accidents.
Minor deficiencies in structure, equipment and furnishings due to normal wear and tear should be rectified
immediately especially if they constitute a hazard or site for possible injury.
Flickering lights must be investigated and repaired. Failed light bulbs and tubes shall be replaced as soon
as possible, particularly in work areas.
Instruction plates, notices and safety posters shall be kept in a clean and legible condition.
Doors, whether open or closed, shall be properly secured. No door is to be left swinging.
Care is needed in personnel matters. Razor blades and lighted cigarette ends must be disposed of safely.
Litter should be picked up and placed in suitable bins.
Many aerosols have volatile and inflammable contents. They must never be used near naked flames or
other heat sources, even when empty. Empty canisters must be properly disposed of, and as they present
an explosion risk, should never be burnt in the ship’s incinerator.
Smoking
Your attention is drawn to the no smoking clause in the Articles of Agreement in relation to Tanker
operations. On Tankers, smoking and the use of naked lights is permitted only in approved areas and these
areas change depending on the situation regarding cargo, ballast, bunkering and tank cleaning operations.
Details of the approved smoking areas are displayed on notices throughout the accommodation. It is
essential that all personnel are aware of restrictions in force and comply with them. Any breach of the
regulations is an offence under the Code of Conduct and will be dealt with severely.
On vessels other than tankers, smoking regulations may be in force during bunkering or during other
special operations. On dry cargo ships, smoking is only permitted in designated spaces and not in areas
that will adversely affect other crew members.
On all vessels under ASP Ship Management, the ASP Ship Management policy regarding smoking in the
Workplace applies.
Appropriate standard of Off-Duty dress

During OFF-DUTY periods, officers and ratings are expected to maintain an acceptable standard of dress.
This need not be a uniform but must be clean and tidy, suitable for the occasion and prevailing climatic
conditions and must not cause offence to others.
Acceptable clothing is deemed to be a clean shirt or polo type shirt, trousers or shorts, leather shoes or
sport shoes (joggers), or sandals with an ankle supporting heel strap.
Rubber thongs (flip flops) and similar scuff type footwear are prohibited onboard all ASP managed vessels.
These types of footwear present an unacceptable slip or trip hazard.
Leather shoes or joggers are the minimum footwear requirements for use on accessing the gangway.
Leather shoes or joggers are the minimum standard for ON-WATCH Bridge Watch keepers or for use on
the upper deck whilst off-duty as long as there are no cargo or stores operations in progress.

Matches and Lighters and other potential sources of ignition on Tankers

Potential sources of ignition are detailed in the International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers and Terminals.
Some are obvious, such as welding, burning, etc. Others, such as electronic equipment not designed for
use in a hazardous area for example: torches, cameras, mobile phones and even electric lights as fitted to
bicycles are less obvious but no less as dangerous. If you are in any doubt, seek advice from an accident
prevention officer or a supervisor. Avoid actions or conversations that may be deemed offensive to others.
Behaviour
Irresponsible behaviour should be discouraged. “Showing off’, acts of bravado or anything else involving
risk-taking contrary to safety standards should be stopped immediately and the potential danger of the
actions explained.
Health
It is the responsibility of each person on the ship to pay attention to their own general health, as well as to
their personal safety. The health risks associated with smoking and the over indulgence in alcohol and /or
other drugs are well known. Bear in the mind the dangers of drinking alcohol whilst taking prescription
drugs.
The maritime industry, as most other industries has seen changes in technology, work practices and the
extensive use of labour saving devices. These changes have dramatically reduced the physical workload
for the seafarer. As a result it is more important now than ever, for the seafarer to pay attention to diet and
to take regular exercise to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Seafarers must also take precautions against skin
cancer whilst working or exercising outside, particularly when exposed to strong sunlight in many parts of
the world.
An Illness of any nature must be reported as soon as the symptoms manifest themselves. This will ensure
that early effective treatment can be commenced and the illness will not spread amongst your shipmates.
Many serious infections can be guarded against by inoculation and vaccination. Before you join a vessel,
ensure that these have been kept up to date as necessary.

The Dangers of Alcohol in the Work Place
What’s So Special about Drinking too much whilst At Sea?

Be alert to the dangers of alcohol. Drunkenness impairs a person to the point where they have little or no
control over their actions. Drunkenness is a potential hazard to the physical well being of a person and can
constitutes a hazard to other people working with, or in the vicinity of, that person.
For example, research has shown that workers with blood levels of 30 mg of alcohol per 100 millilitres are
more likely to have an accident. At 80 mg, the likelihood of having an accident is four times greater and at
150 mg, it is twenty-five times greater than an individual who has not had a drink.
In the event of an accident, drunkenness can mask the extent of
injury, particularly to the head. Drunkenness associated with
accidents can be the reason for serious injury and death.
The drinking of alcohol whilst on duty or “on the gear”, or before
you go on watch or gear turn, is dangerous to you and your
fellow workers. ASP has clear guidelines and the law demands,
that the consumption of alcohol where a person is affected when
they commence duty, is strictly forbidden..
Persons under the influence of alcohol or consuming alcohol must be
removed from the workplace immediately.

Asbestos
Exposure to airborne asbestos dust occurs in the course of dust forming operations such as handling,
sawing, grinding, drilling, turning or general maintenance, renovations or similar operations upon materials
containing asbestos.
While asbestos insulation in your ship presents a hazard, the risk to your health is NIL if the packaging
remains intact and no fibres are released into the air.
Materials that contain asbestos on your ship have been identified and are listed in an Asbestos Register
kept by either the Chief Engineer or Master.
This register shows in detail the location and type of asbestos, if any, that is an integral part of the ships
structure or machinery and is available for inspection on request by any interested party.
The Chief Engineer shall make a regular inspection at intervals not exceeding six months of
all asbestos in the ship. The result of the inspection is to be entered in the Asbestos
Register.
No asbestos material shall be used in any repairs to the ship.
Wherever possible, work that may generate asbestos dust must be left until the ship is in
port where qualified personnel, proper facilities and appropriate equipment are to be used.
If it is essential for such work to be done at sea every precaution must be taken to ensure
the creation of asbestos dust is kept to a minimum and the risk of inhalation of fibres by all persons on
board is avoided. Where practical, the precautions and procedures detailed in the Vessel Operations
Manual are to be followed.
Individual Duty of Care in the Work Place

1. Set a Good Example
An Officer or Supervisor sets the standards and is therefore in a position to strongly affect the attitudes of
crew by the actions they observe. An Officer’s own example can demonstrate a serious attitude that
provides a positive motivation to the team. The maxim “actions speak louder than words” is worth
remembering.
These are the vital principles to be displayed:
a) Observe all safety, fire prevention and accident prevention regulations. The Supervisor who
deviates from these regulations undermines safety, personal credibility and his right to manage.
b) Whenever necessary, use protective equipment yourself. In this way you will “sell” this practice
and show that it makes sense to use the protective equipment. This display is equally effective
where the Supervisor is not exposed to the same level of potential danger as is the individual
performing the task.
c) Everyday, raise one safety question with your work team. This makes safety a part of everyday
work and, moreover, demonstrates the importance and interest you attach to the subject.
d) Emphasise the ideas of safety and fire protection at every opportunity.
e) Give safety top priority.
Never risk your own safety, that of employees, that of the vessel or of the environment for any reason
whatsoever.

2. Evaluate the Risks of your Job never let the pressure of time tempt you into
taking chances
In order to fully understand the potential risks, everyone doing a job should know all the operating
procedures and be familiar with the entire workflow within their area of responsibility. Operating procedures,
manuals, instruction books and records provide essential information and must be consulted. Ensure that
your team members are aware of any potential risks. The completion of a Job Safety Analysis before each
task is commenced will alert the team to potential hazards and requirements for the job at hand.
Learn to evaluate whether your work or actions are liable to affect the safety of other work or operations
going on elsewhere. Do not be hurried into cutting corners to complete a task if that task cannot be done
safely in the time estimated due to unforeseen circumstances or unrealistic time estimates.
3. Be Alert to Unsafe Conditions

Every walk around the ship should be an inspection tour.
Potential hazards, either unsafe acts or unsafe conditions, must be spotted and immediately acted upon.
Any hazard or condition that might lead to harm to the environment must be acted on immediately.
4. Inspect Frequently and Productively

Safe working conditions do not just occur; they evolve as a result of identifying and eliminating dangerous
conditions and unsafe practices. Frequent inspections can discover items that may cause either personal or
environmental damage. Although checks will be made by the Safety Officer and/or Safety Representative,
these checks do not substitute for direct inspection by the person in charge, and by the individual doing the
job.
Discussions at Safety meetings provide a good opportunity to encourage crewmembers to participate in the
safety activities of the ship. These meetings also provide supervisors the chance to explain the safety
standards they are aiming for and to involve all crew members into this safety culture.
5. Take Immediate Corrective Action

To be effective, corrective action must be taken immediately once an issue has been raised. This avoids
the impression of being unconcerned or indecisive.
Accept criticism in the way you expect others to accept it from you. This principle should apply at all levels -
in other words anybody should feel free to correct anyone else on matters of safety without fear of
retribution, Safety is everyone’s business.
Make it clear that any criticism is not designed to lay blame but is a way to safer activity in the future.
6. Know Your Fellow Employees

Whether someone can perform a specific duty depends on his or her training, experience and general
capabilities. To achieve optimum safety and performance, the supervisor must know the characteristics of
each person.
7. Maintain Discipline
If safety rules are not obeyed, effective corrective action must be taken. If the non- conformity is deliberate,
it may follow that some degree of disciplinary action will be required. This action must be immediate,
reasonable and consistent, with the aim of achieving safer conduct, without causing resentment.
8. Wear appropriate Protective Clothing and Equipment

On each vessel an adequate supply of safety equipment (e.g. head protection, respiratory protection,
goggles, harnesses) is carried. This when correctly used in conjunction with personal protective clothing
(safety boots and overalls) should ensure that each task can be completed in the safest possible manner.
The JSA will confirm the appropriate requirements for the task at hand.

Management Team
If we are to be successful in managing personnel and operate safely on
board, all deck and engineer officers must be totally committed to this aim
by visibly demonstrating this commitment by their everyday actions..
Personnel and environmental safety must form an important part of all
work planning discussions where any possible risks to
personnel/environment are to be identified, controlled and minimised.
Officers must also be aware of any potentially dangerous interactions that
one task may have on another and plan accordingly.
Regular tours of the workplace must be undertaken and any unsafe acts
or conditions that are noticed should be dealt with immediately.
Everyone should promote an atmosphere on board that encourages free
and open discussion between all ships staff. The Master, in particular,
should create opportunities to talk about safety to everyone on board
making his own requirements known.

Safety Officers (SO’s)

The overall responsibility for the safety of the vessel and all personnel rests with the Master.
The Master may appoint the Chief Officer or the Second Officer to perform the function of the Safety
Officer. To comply with Flag State requirements, another Officer may be appointed as Safety Officer. The
name and rank of the Safety Officer shall be recorded on V-SAF-003 - Record of Health and Safety
Representatives. The Safety Officer shall undertake (or have previously completed) appropriate training
approved by ASP, and Flag State (where required).
The Officer(s) report directly to the Master on matters of shipboard safety. It is their responsibility to ensure
a safe working environment for all on board and that safe working practices are strictly adhered to.
The Safety Officer has direct access to the Master on matters of health, safety, security and environment
and, through the Master, to the Ship Manager and Senior Management. The Safety Officer shall exercise
responsibility for health and safety on behalf of all personnel.
When any unsafe working conditions are reported to them, the accident prevention officers will make an
investigation and take steps to correct the situation.
Safety Representative (SR’s)
The vessel shall elect the Safety Representative/s as per the requirements of the flag state regulations and
the vessels shall consider a “one designated work group” where possible.
The elected Safety Representative/s must be suitably qualified as per the flag state regulations.
A record of Safety Representative/s shall be maintained in the V-SAF-003 - Record of Health and Safety
Representatives.
Accident Report System
In addition to a comprehensive safety policy, an effective hazard / HSSE opportunity and accident reporting
system is required to monitor and improve safety in the workplace. If risks can be measured, they can be
improved.
Every injury, HSSE opportunity, unsafe working condition or practice must be immediately reported to the
Duty Officer or to your immediate supervisor.
Hazards / HSSE Opportunities should be recorded in the Hazard/ HSSE Opportunity Log.
If a known hazard cannot be corrected or made safe by the end of the working day, it shall also be
recorded in the Hazard log. Use the hazard log to highlight any recurring safety issue which may benefit
from review at the next Safety Meeting.
ASP Ship Management’s safety policy is based on the belief that:
 All accidental injuries can be prevented; and
 Safety precautions can and must be taken for every hazardous situation.
These objectives require an effective procedure to report accidental injuries and hazardous situations.
As described above, every accidental injury or unsafe working condition or practice must be reported
immediately to the Duty officer. The Safety Officer will undertake an investigation of the incident so that
the necessary lessons may be learnt and corrective action taken, or set in motion, to prevent any
recurrence.
Undesirable consequences can occur if an accident or incident is not promptly reported: for example,
 An insignificant injury becomes a serious medical problem because it is not treated quickly or
correctly.
 Another crewmember may subsequently suffer a further accident under similar circumstances
because nothing was done to eliminate the original source of danger.
 If accidents or “Dangerous Incidents” are not reported, the circumstances cannot be reviewed and
corrective actions put in place.

 Only an immediate, detailed investigation can lead to a factual report and provide conclusions that
will avoid a reoccurrence of the accident.
The immediate reporting of accidents or incidents is a basic responsibility for all crew members.
The Master and all Officers can motivate crew members to make timely and complete accident reports by:
 Emphasising the importance of reporting all accidents / HSSE Opportunities as soon after the
event as possible.
 Attending to every accident report without delay.
 By not attaching any blame to the crewmember involved during the course of accident
investigation. The subsequent report will provide conclusions and recommendations. Discovering
the root causes of any incident or accident can provide a lasting solution, thus avoiding any
reoccurrence.
Protective Clothing and Safety Equipment
Wearing protective clothing and the use of safety equipment are mandatory when these items will protect
the health and well being of the wearer.
Minimum Personal Protective Equipment
When on duty or working in the ENGINE ROOM OR ANY MACHINERY SPACE WHERE PLANT IS
RUNNING all employees and any contractor shall wear the following:
1. Safety footwear to comply with the relevant international standard
2. 100% cotton drill long sleeved overalls. (except when material being handled deems otherwise)
3. Ear Muffs / plugs having medium range attenuation of at least 25 db.
Areas other than machinery spaces:
Whilst on duty or working in areas other than the Engine Room or machinery spaces all employees and any
contractor must wear items 1 and 2 above.
During storing operations on deck catering staff must wear items 1 and 2 plus a safety helmet, as must all
other personnel engaged in this task. Whilst working in the stores handling space/store rooms they need
only wear items 1 and 2. Cooks must wear award issue safety boots, long trousers and shirt whilst working
in the galley, pantry or stores area.
Trainees, personnel new to the vessel or personnel that appear unfamiliar with, or demonstrate incorrect
use of, safety equipment, shall be instructed in the correct use of such safety equipment.
Safety Equipment must be regularly inspected and overhauled or, if necessary, replaced. Familiarisation of
safety equipment will be carried out at appropriate training sessions, possibly as an adjunct to Sunday
Safety Rounds
“Minimum” standards of off-duty footwear onboard all Company managed vessels.
“Acceptable” footwear is deemed to be leather shoes or sport shoes (joggers), or sandals with an ankle
supporting heel strap. The wearing of sandals is restricted to the accommodation areas only and is
prohibited on the upper deck.
Rubber thongs (flip flops) and similar scuff type footwear are prohibited onboard all ASPSM managed
vessels. These items present an unacceptable slip or trip hazard.
Leather shoes or joggers are the minimum footwear requirements for use on accessing the gangway.
Leather shoes or joggers are the minimum standard for ON-WATCH Bridge Watch Keepers or for use on
the upper deck whilst off-duty as long as there are no cargo or stores operations in progress. In the case of
Bridge Watch keepers’ on-duty, safety footwear must be worn if it is expected that, during their watch, they
may have to undertake work other than navigational watch keeping duties.

Safety Helmets
The head - and more specifically the brain - is the part of the human body most susceptible to disabling
injury from an impact.
Such injuries can be extremely dangerous, severe results often persist over long periods or become
permanent. Safety helmets are intended to give the wearer protection against impact and penetrating
damage. They are designed so that they will not fracture when struck, nor transfer the force of the blow to
the wearer’s skull immediately below the point of impact. Such protection reduces the deformation of the
skull, thereby reducing the extent of head injuries and, in particular, brain damage.
The use of safety helmets and chinstraps is strongly recommended for all work situations, but they shall
always be worn during the following operations:
 All mooring and unmooring operations, tug and anchor handling work.
This includes preparation of mooring prior to arrival in port and clearing away after departure.
 At all times on deck when the vessel is alongside in port or involved in ship-to-ship transfers.
 During all lifting operations on deck or in the engine room.
 During maintenance work within the engine room involving heavy items of machinery eg. Main
Engine liners, pistons, etc.
 Where practical, during all works in tanks and other enclosed spaces.
 When working in the vicinity of others working above.
 When rigging gangways, accommodation ladders and pilot ladders.
 All emergency situations and boat or fire drills.
 During helicopter operations.
 All watch keeping activities on deck during cargo, ballast, tank cleaning and bunker operations.
 When engaged in storing operations.
 At all times outside the accommodation during refit, dry dockings and major repair periods.
The preceding list covers the majority of situations where the possibility of head injury exists, however, it
does not cover all eventualities and other situations will arise where safety helmets should be worn
It is responsibility of shipboard management and supervisors to assess each situation on merit and
set appropriate standards.
Helmets must not be painted nor have stickers placed on them, as paint or adhesive may change the
properties of the helmet material, causing structural failure when you need it the most.

Gloves
Leather working gloves must be worn when handling hot or cold equipment and sharp or abrasive
materials.
Rubber gloves must be worn when handling chemicals, acids and caustic substances (check MSDS's for
appropriate type of glove as well as other PPE required).
Ear Defenders
Ear defenders and earplugs are provided on board as protection against hearing damage that can be
caused by the accumulative effect of excessive noise.
Many spaces on board, such as engine rooms, pump rooms and generator rooms are noisy enough to
cause permanent damage to hearing. As a rule of thumb, if the noise level makes normal conversation
difficult, it is likely to be dangerous.
Only good quality, tight fitting ear defenders will give the required protection against the levels and
frequencies of noise created in on-board machinery spaces Earplugs are provided for those passing
through the spaces(s) but should not be used by those working over extended periods.
Hearing protection must be worn in the following locations:
 Engine Rooms  Emergency Generator Rooms
 Fan Rooms  Boiler Rooms
 Pump Rooms  Air Conditioning Plant Rooms
 Compressor Rooms  Spaces containing Hydraulic Power Packs
 Generator Rooms  Motor Rooms
 Steering Gear Rooms  During the operation of noisy mechanical
or air driven equipment.
WARNING SIGNS must be displayed at the entrance of the above spaces indicating that noise levels may
be excessive and hazardous to hearing, and stating that hearing defenders should be worn whilst working
in these spaces. The above list is not exhaustive and onboard there may be others areas of hearing risk.

Safety Harnesses and Belts

The wearing of safety harnesses or belts is required by law whilst working aloft where there is a reasonable
risk of falling a distance of more than 2 metres, (6 Feet approx). For heights of less than 2 metres, the job
risk assessment taken before commencement of the task, must determine the need for a safety harness or
other safety devices.
Such situations will include:
 Working up masts and on funnels.
 When on stages, cradles, scaffolding or bosun’s chairs.
 Work outside the ship’s side rails.
 When shipping or unshipping the accommodation ladder or pilot gangway and rigging pilot ladders.
 When working on davits or lifeboats.
 When working on fixed or portable ladders.
 When working on deck during heavy weather
An approved safety belt must incorporate a shock-absorbing device in the lanyard section. This often takes
the form of a sewn bight in the lanyard that will break out progressively as the weight is taken up.
Harnesses or belts must always be secured to a strong point. When working on bosun’s chairs, stages or
portable ladders, they must not be secured to the supporting line(s) or the ladder itself. An independent
safety line must be rigged.
Before working aloft, on masts or funnels, complete the required JSA and obtain the necessary Work
Permits. Ensure that where appropriate, radar scanners are shut down and steam discharges are
minimised.
Eye Protection
Safety glasses must be worn at all times outside the accommodation. They must be worn in the
accommodation/engine room where there is the possibility of a foreign particle entering the eye.
Safety glasses are available in clear or tinted variations and for those people wearing prescription glasses
suitable protective equipment is available which fits over your own glasses.
Safety glasses/goggles must be worn wherever there is a risk of eye injury, especially:
1. During work with lathes, planers, drills, mills and grinders.
2. During work with, or in the vicinity of, descaling tools, wire brushers, grinders, etc.
3. When working with a cold chisel.
4. When working with or storing acids, caustic solutions and chemicals. (Chemical goggles or face
shield)
5. When handling batteries containing electrolyte solutions. (Chemical goggles or face shield)
6. During boiler cleaning.
7. By the windlass operator and others in the vicinity when anchoring or heaving up.
8. When using high pressure washing equipment.
9. During work with high-pressure hydraulic equipment, gas cylinders, etc.
10. When breaking cargo (gas or Liquid) lines.
11. When using compressed air tools or blowguns.
12. When arc or gas welding.

Buoyancy Aids
Buoyancy or flotation Aids must be worn whenever anyone is working in a position from which it is possible
to fall overboard. Such situations include:
 Any work outside the ship’s rails over water.
 Work on davits and on lifeboats.
 When shipping and unshipping gangways and accommodation ladders.
 When embarking or disembarking from service boats during adverse weather conditions.
 During lightering operations, when transferring from one ship to another.
High Visibility Vests

High Visibility Vests must be worn in vehicle decks or when walking in ports and terminals. They should
also be worn on deck on container, bulk and dry cargo vessels during cargo work, (if not wearing high
visibility overalls).
Respiratory Masks/Dust Masks

Appropriate respiratory masks/dust masks must be worn when working in the presence of vapours, dusty
environments and when spray painting.

PPE Guidelines – Minimum Safety Requirements

Safety Procedures
Safety procedures are laid down for many tasks and operations performed onboard in the "Code of Safe
Working Practice for Local Seafarers", Company standing orders, Marine Notices, Manufacturer’s hand
books, Vessel Operations Manuals and others. The following section contains examples of procedures that
exist on ASP managed vessels.
Entry into Enclosed Spaces
All enclosed spaces, including cargo and ballast tanks, pump rooms, cofferdams, peak tanks, etc., are
potentially dangerous. Entry to such spaces is to be strictly controlled and extensive safety precautions
must be taken. Spaces may be deficient in oxygen or could contain harmful gases. Prior to entry, a
competent person using properly calibrated instruments must test the atmosphere within the spaces. This
is of particular importance in an emergency situation.
Do not enter any enclosed space until:
 A JSA for the task at hand has been completed.
 Proper authorization is given.
 A valid entry permit is issued.
 If breathing apparatus is to be worn, a spare set must be kept in readiness at the entrance to that
space.
 The space is tested to ensure adequate oxygen content and freedom from toxic or flammable
gases.
 Specified personal protective clothing is worn.
 “Stand-by” Personnel are stationed at the entrance to the space.
 Communications systems are established.
 Rescue equipment is prepared.
 Emergency procedures are agreed.
If attempting a rescue in an enclosed or confined space, that space shall not be entered without breathing
apparatus. Should the atmosphere in the space be such, there is a possibility that the rescuer will be
similarly overcome as the victim and the rescuer also require assistance. This is particularly so if the cause
of injury is not immediately apparent or the accident observed.
Remember!
Do not enter a tank to rescue another person -
Get help, wear a breathing apparatus and
where possible work in pairs.

Hot work in confined spaces

In addition to the preceding general procedure, when carrying out hot work in enclosed or confined spaces
the following precautions should also be observed:
Prior to recommencing work, after a coffee or meal break, recheck the conditions in the tank or space, to
ensure that the atmosphere has remained safe.
Special care should be taken to ensure that gases or flammable liquids cannot transfer to a working space
via open pipelines, vent systems, unauthorized valve operation, leaking bulkheads, etc.
Welding and Hot work

The established procedures for all welding and hot work operations must be followed at all times. These
can be summarised as follows:
 A JSA must be completed prior to commencement for all Hot Work being undertaken, especially
when in a dangerous or hazardous area.
 No Hot Work shall be undertaken in a dangerous or hazardous area until it has been made safe,
and has been proved to be safe, and all appropriate approvals have been obtained from the office
if required.
 Only authorised personnel are permitted to perform such work.
 Proper protective clothing and equipment must be used, particularly eye protection.
 The safety of personnel not directly involved in the operation must be actively considered.
 The work area shall be carefully prepared and isolated before Hot Work commences.
 The effects of the work on the adjacent structure and surroundings with regard to heat transfer,
falling slag and sparks etc., must be considered. During hot work, maintain a fire watch on adjacent
compartments if necessary.
 Equipment must be inspected before use. Faulty equipment must be withdrawn immediately from
service until repaired.
 A separate permit shall be approved for each intended task and location.
 A Hot Work permit shall be issued immediately before the work is to be performed.
 Tankers shall follow the instructions contained within the International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers
and Terminals.
 Due to the possibility of electrocution when changing welding electrodes in a humid atmosphere,
and a host of other safety aspects associated with the use of welding equipment, only trained
personnel are to use welding equipment.
 Low voltage power supply is to be a feature of all shipboard electric welding equipment to prevent
accidental electrocution when changing electrodes.
 All departments are to be warned that the Hot Work is to take place.
Electrical Safety
Ship’s Staff must operate all electrical equipment in a safe manner and in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
They must ensure that all equipment is maintained in a safe condition in accordance with the
manufacturers recommended maintenance procedures.
The dangers arising from the misuse of electrical equipment are well known. Electrical shock and fire can
cause loss of life, damage to equipment and potentially loss of the vessel.

Before undertaking any electrical maintenance work the following precautions must be taken:
1. Prior to any work being carried out, the JSA must be completed and the precautions carried out.
The appropriate work permits must be obtained.
2. Remove rings, wristwatches, necklaces, etc.
3. Always work on a dry insulating mat.
4. Safety boots without metal studs or rivets must be worn.
5. Where practical overalls should be dry and insulating gloves worn.
6. Ensure your working position is safe and secure to avoid FATAL contact with live conductors as a
result of the vessels motion.
7. Switch off starter isolating switch and “tag” or “lock” out, and/or Open Circuit Breaker and “tag” or
“lock” out, and/or
8. Remove circuit fuses and place them in YOUR pocket.
9. Beware of alternate or auxiliary supplies -always test before touching.
10. Just because a light goes out or a motor stops does not necessarily mean a circuit is dead.
11. If in doubt check with your supervisor.
Wherever possible avoid working on “live” electrical equipment. However if this is necessary for the safety
of the vessel or for testing purposes then the following additional precautions should be taken:
Never work on live electrical equipment unless a second person is present.
The second person should know where to isolate the circuit and how to treat for electrical shock.
Minimise risk of hand-to-hand shock by keeping one hand in your pocket when ever practicable.
Use only the correct test equipment and insulated tools.
Remove and replace equipment covers whilst the apparatus is switched off. Serious accidents have
occurred when a cover has dropped on to “live” conductors.
The necessity from time to time to work on any energized system and particularly any live electrical parts
does not negate the requirement to use Lockout procedures.
Section 1 of V-PER-003 - Electrical Isolation Permit (Work to be Carried Out) must outline the necessity to
work live. The JSA must be referenced.
The JSA must identify the need to undertake such work and be approved by the Ship Manager (or by the
Designated Person) prior to the work being undertaken; documentary evidence must be maintained along
with the permit and the JSA.
It may not be possible to entirely lock-out a system and to fault find, commission or test the system at the
same time. In any case every precaution must be taken to ensure that no person may inadvertently affect
the planned operation.
The risk controls considered must include, but may not be limited to the following:
 Isolation of as many sources of energy as possible. Live work may be undertaken but other parts
in the vicinity (although otherwise unrelated) should be de-energised;
 Perform lockout and de-commissioning prior to limited energising under controlled lockout
conditions. Then de-energise prior to re-commissioning. All equipment should be returned to a
“dead” state and effectively locked out at the first opportunity once the necessary live work has
been completed;
 Use of Appropriate PPE;
 Work should be undertaken at periods of minimum energy usage in the system;
 The work should be undertaken in port where emergency services are readily available.
 The personnel must not wear any metallic personal items such as rings, earrings watches,
necklaces, metal rimmed glasses etc.

 Personnel must not work alone.
 All live work must be under the strict control of a single person (the Isolation Coordinator) and only
that person has the authority to allow work to start or continue
 Every possible control point must be locked out with the only exception being any control point
continuously manned by personnel in constant communication with the personnel undertaking the
work.
 Employment of specialist contractors to undertake such work
 Where practical, always work on a dry insulating mat.
 Safety boots without metal studs or rivets must be worn. Overalls shall be dry and where practical,
insulating gloves worn.
 Ensure the working position is safe and secure to avoid any contact with live conductors.
 The engine room log is endorsed with the appropriate entry.
 Minimise the risk of hand-to-hand shock by keeping one hand in your pocket whenever practicable.
 Use only the correct test equipment and insulated tools.
 Remove and replace equipment covers whilst the apparatus is isolated.

Lock Out System

The Lock Out procedure applies to all work undertaken on machinery, equipment and systems where the
inadvertent release of associated energy sources could endanger ships crew or other personnel onboard.
The following must be clearly understood:
 It is every person’s responsibility to attach a padlock, to the main isolating control devices
(switches, valves etc.) on any machinery, equipment or system where there is a risk of injury if an
inadvertent release of the energy source occurs.
 The identity (Rank) of the owner of the padlock must be clearly marked on the padlock itself.
 At no time should any person remove another person’s padlock when attached to a control
device. Only under exceptional circumstances can the Chief Engineer/Master with the Lock-Out
coordinator, after conduct of a risk assessment be allowed to remove the padlock of another
person.
 If two or more persons are working on a job, each must place their personal padlock on the
control device, hasp or Group Lockout Board to ensure that the system can not be inadvertently
activated by one without the consent of the other.
 If any person is intending to join an existing task where a “Lock-Out” system is already in use, the
person must inform the Lock-Out Coordinator before placing their padlock on any associated
control device, hasp or Group Lock-Out Board.
 All the control devices (switches, valves etc.) to be locked, must be approved by the Lock-Out
Coordinator/Chief Engineer.
 After placing the padlocks on the control devices ALWAYS VERIFY that the energy source has
been effectively isolated before commencement of the task.
Lock Out
The Chief engineer is responsible for the administration of Lockout and for Lockout equipment.
All personnel shall be issued with a Red Personal Lock.
The Red Lock identifies the user and as such both displays to all that you are working on the lockout job at
the time and gives you as the user control over the lockout. You must attach your Red Lock at the control
point of lockout each time you intend to work on a piece of equipment. The control point is the Lockout
Box. The Red Lock remains at all times either attached to the lockout control point or correctly stowed at
the central lockout station. When the user is not directly working on that job the red lock shall be returned
to the central lockout station. Each Red personal lock shall be marked with the rank of the owner.
All vessels shall be issued with multiple Yellow Locks.
A Yellow Lock is used to lock out a piece of equipment. The lock may be used in conjunction with a lockout
device. The V-SAF-021 - Lockout Log Book shall be completed in full which details where the lock is being
used and by whom it was placed. Before work commences, the Yellow Lock Key(s) shall be placed in a
Lockout Box and the box shall be locked by the Lockout Coordinator (the officer responsible for the work
being undertaken) using a Green Lock.
All vessels shall be issued with Green Locks.
Green Locks are used by the Lockout Coordinator to lock the lockout box. The Lockout Box (and all Yellow
Lock Keys inside) is controlled by the Lockout Coordinator and prevents premature re-commissioning of
equipment affecting personnel and prevents conflict between other tasks being undertaken. The Lockout
Coordinator keeps possession of the Green Lock Key(s) for the duration of the lockout job (see also
Lockout Handover).
 A single yellow lock is used to affect each individual lockout.
 The V-SAF-021 - Lockout Log Book shall be completed with the appropriate information
 Each Yellow Lock Key (identified) is placed within a Lockout Box.

 The Lockout Coordinator then locks the Lockout Box using a Green Lock.
 Each worker then uses their Red Lock to lock the Lockout Box, (hasp or other lockout device).
 Red Locks are removed as each individual leaves the job.
 When all personnel have completed their tasks and all red personal safety locks have been
removed the lockout coordinator is able to unlock the Lockout Box to gain access to the Yellow
Lock Keys.
 The Lockout Coordinator can then remove lockout equipment.
 Using this process each member of the work team has complete confidence in the integrity of the
lockout at all times.
The Chief Engineer is responsible to ensure that the Lockout System is utilised to its full capacity but if
there is no possible way of attaching the Yellow Lock to a piece of equipment a Yellow Caution Tag can be
use and is treated in the same way as a Yellow Lock and a Red Danger Tag is placed at the last point of
isolation replacing the use of the Red Lock. The Red Danger Tag should list the person or persons working
on the system.
Red Lock Removal
Red Locks can only be removed by the owner identified on the lock. All locks are individually keyed.
Red locks may not be removed by any person other than the owner except where the Master and C/E
agree that it is safe to do so (where the owner of the Red Personal Lock is not onboard or where a key is
lost or damaged).
Yellow Lock and Green Lock Removal
Yellow Locks and Green Locks can only be removed with the approval of the nominated Lockout
Coordinator except where the Master or Chief Officer or Chief Engineer or Second (First) Engineer is
satisfied that it is safe to do so.
Lockout Handover
Red Personal Locks must be incorporated in swing handover. The oncoming crew member must ensure
that the Red Personal Lock (and key) associated with his/her rank is in the central lockout station before
the off-going crew member leaves the vessel.
The Lockout Coordinator must pass on lockout information and the Green Lock Key(s) when handing over
each watch or swing.
Lockout Procedure
Lockout
1. Plan the task including lockout (JSA)
2. Notify all involved (Daily Work Plan)
3. Coordinate work force (Toolbox Talk)
4. Shut down equipment
5. Isolate and lock out all forms of energy. Apply Lockout devices including Yellow Locks and
complete V-SAF-021 - Lockout Log Book
6. Place Yellow Lock keys in the Lockout Box and secure the box with a Green Lock (Lockout
Coordinator)
7. Positively verify that energy is isolated
8. Personnel involved apply Red Locks
Removal of Lockout
1. Ensure all work is complete
2. Check all personnel, tools and equipment are clear
3. Remove all lockout devices

4. Restore energy to equipment
Out of Service Tags
If the Job Safety Analysis identifies no risk to personnel, equipment and/or the environment in undertaking
the job without the use of lockout, an out of service tag must be displayed at the control point of any system
which is not to be energized. The tag must designate the decommissioned equipment, the person who
placed the tag and the time and date of decommissioning.
Out of service tags may not be removed by any person other than the person who placed the tag except
where the Master or Chief Officer or Chief Engineer or Second (First) Engineer is satisfied that it is safe to
do so.
The Chief Engineer shall ensure that every effort is made to comply with the lockout system. Where it is
not physically possible to use a lockout device an out of service tag may be used. In any case V-SAF-021 -
Lockout Log Book shall be utilised.
Handling Chemicals
If handled properly, the chemicals used on board ships are perfectly safe. Protective clothing of the
recommended type must be worn and every ship is provided with such equipment solely for use when
handling chemicals.
When handling or storing chemicals always observe the following:
 Complete the JSA and obtain the appropriate MSDS for the chemical to be handled.
 A chemical from an unlabelled container should not be used until its identity has been positively
established. As a matter of course, unlabelled chemicals should not be accepted during storing.
 All chemicals should always be handled with the utmost care, and only used for their designated
purpose.
 Eyes and skin must be protected from accidental exposure or contact. If protective eye goggles,
gloves and aprons are required to be worn then they must be worn at all times whilst the chemical
is being handled.
 All chemicals supplied to ships have Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) containing the
manufacturers or suppliers advice on the correct use of the chemicals.
Material Safety Data Sheets are easily read and contain:
 Common name and identification number of the product.
 The products identification, i.e.
 Appearance and odour
 The products content
 Physical data
 Description of the products usual packaging
 Product usage, i.e. recommended applications and instructions for use.
 Flammability and explosive properties.
 Reactivity and stability data.
 Health Hazard Information including specific degrees of damage for contact with eyes and skin and
inhalation and ingestion.
 Requirements for protective clothing.
 Spillage and disposal procedures.
 Transport and storage requirements.
 First Aid Treatment.

Chemicals should not be mixed unless it is known that dangerous reactions will not be caused.
Posters displaying safety procedure requirements for each chemical shall be displayed in all areas where
chemicals are stored and in areas where most frequent usage of the chemical occurs. Material Safety Data
Sheets must be readily available, and containers properly marked.
Inadvertent exposure to, or contact with, toxic chemicals or other harmful substances must be reported
immediately and the appropriate remedial action taken.
Slips, Trips and Falls

The potential for serious injury cannot be overestimated. In some environments, incidents can have critical
consequences and long term effects.
There is an even great danger of sustaining serious injury when a slip, trip or fall occurs near moving
machinery, hot surfaces or liquids.
Slips, Trips and Falls occur when you are unaware of the changes in your environment through:
 Obstacles or Impediments
 Potential Hazards
 Type and/or Condition of Surfaces
Be particularly cautious whilst alongside or under repair or in a dry-dock condition. Despite every
precaution, the planned safe conditions that exist whilst trading can be adversely altered by local
circumstances or the actions of shore repair staff.
Slip
Insufficient Friction Leads to a Slip
Friction when walking is important immediately after the heel of the leading foot strikes the ground, when
the toe of the trailing foot is pushing off for the next stride and when making a sudden change of direction.
Without sufficient friction at these critical phases of walking, a slip is most likely to occur.
Common Slipping Hazards
Environmental factors:
 Spills and Contaminants – Liquids, Cargo Residue and Solid Materials
 Wet Cleaning methods
 Wind-Driven Rain or Snow
 Sudden Change in Floor Surface – Carpet to Metal to Vinyl to Tile
 Change from Wet to Dry Surface
 Dusty and Sandy Surfaces
 On a Ramp - Where the floor begins to slope downwards
 Loose or Bumpy Mats and Carpets
 Low Light Levels
 Ice formation on deck due to cold weather
Individual factors:
 Use of unsuitable footwear
 Low awareness of occupational safety and health at work
 Failure to follow safety rules and regulations.
Trip
A trip occurs when an individual fails to notice a low obstacle in their path leading to loss of balance and a
fall. Obstacles, whether permanently or temporarily placed, can easily go unnoticed and cause a trip.

Common Tripping Hazards
 Loads that Obstruct Vision
 Broken or Worn Floors and Floor Coverings
 Mat Edges
 Uneven Floor Surfaces
 Change in Floor Level
 Obstacles in Traffic areas
 Hoses, Electrical Cords or Cables Across Work or Traffic Areas
 Poorly Maintained Access Routes
Falls
The risk of serious injury or death form falls significantly increases if you are working at heights over 2
meters.
Even a fall form a very low height can cause serious injuries such as Fractures, Spinal Cord Injury,
Concussions and Brain Damage. They can leave permanent and debilitating injuries.
Common Fall Hazards
 Losing Grip on a Ladder or Handrail
 Overbalancing
 Unaware of Sharp Drops or Uneven Flooring
 Obstructed Vision
 Misjudging a Distance
 Learning or Sitting on Objects that are not Designed to Take Weight
 Stepping or Jumping to a Lower Level
 Faulty or Broken Chairs
 Using Chairs as Step-Stools
 Faulty or Broken Plant and Equipment
Control Slip, Trip and Fall Hazards
In order to effectively control slipping and tripping hazards, workplaces should target the causes of the
hazards. Prevention of slips and trips starts with good design of the workplace, followed by good
housekeeping, cleaning practice and use of appropriate footwear.
Apply Hierarchy of Controls
Elimination:
 Avoid creating a hazard, implement good housekeeping procedures
 Repair damaged floors and surfaces
 Remove the need to work from heights
Substitution:
 Change floor surface by utilising non slip mats/effective slip resistant floor surface
 Engage experienced contractors to perform work
Isolation:
 Cordon off areas and/or restrict access
Engineering Controls:
 Clearly marked walkways

 Conspicuous warning signs
 Provide well directed lighting
 Ongoing maintenance of equipment and machinery
 Secure dangerous areas with railings and barriers
 Use suitable ladders and step stools
 Minimise changes in floor levels
 Effective means of containing fluids and contaminants
 Ensure tools have proper storage space and are returned after use.
 Ample storage space
Administrative Controls:
 Identify and manage hazard through Risk Registers, Safety Surveys, JSA’s and HSSE
Committee
Personal Protective Equipment:
 Appropriate footwear
Ladder Safety
Set up ladders or step stools on firm, solid ground, use the right height ladder for the job and inspect before
using.
Use a 4-to-1 ratio when setting up a single or extension ladder. For example: place a 12 foot ladder so that
the bottom is 3 feet away from the object the ladder is leaning against.
If the ladder is set up in passageways or areas with traffic, secure the ladder and block off the area
 Make sure footwear is clean and dry
 Make sure ladder rungs are clean and dry
 Face the ladder at all times
 Maintain three point contact
 Place your foot on the step or rung under the arch of your foot
Manual Handling
Good handling technique for lifting:
Think before lifting/handling. Plan the lift. Can handling aids be used? Where is the load going to be
placed? Will help be needed with the load? Remove obstructions such as discarded wrapping materials.
For a long lift, consider resting the load midway on a table or bench to change grip.
Keep the load close to the waist. Keep the load close to the body for as long as possible while lifting. Keep
the heaviest side of the load next to the body. If a close approach to the load is not possible, try to slide it
towards the body before attempting to lift it.
Adopt a stable position. The feet should be apart with one leg slightly forward to maintain balance
(alongside the load, if it is on the ground). The worker should be prepared to move their feet during the lift
to maintain their stability. Avoid tight clothing or unsuitable footwear, which may make this difficult.
Get a good hold. Where possible the load should be hugged as close as possible to the body. This may be
better than gripping it tightly with hands only.
Start in a good posture. At the start of the lift, slight bending of the back, hips and knees is preferable to
fully flexing the back (stooping) or fully flexing the hips and knees (squatting).
Don’t flex the back any further while lifting. This can happen if the legs begin to straighten before starting to

raise the load.
Avoid twisting the back or leaning sideways, especially while the back is bent. Shoulders should be kept
level and facing in the same direction as the hips. Turning by moving the feet is better than twisting and
lifting at the same time.
Keep the head up when handling. Look ahead, not down at the load, once it has been held securely.
Move smoothly. The load should not be jerked or snatched as this can make it harder to keep control and
can increase the risk of injury.
Don’t lift or handle more than can be easily managed. There is a difference between what people can lift
and what they can safely lift. If in doubt, seek advice or get help.
Put down, then adjust. If precise positioning of the load is necessary, put it down first, then slide it into the
desired position.
Good handling technique for pushing and pulling:
Handling devices. Aids such as barrows and trolleys should have handle heights that are between the
shoulder and waist. Devices should be well-maintained with wheels that run smoothly.
Force. As a rough guide the amount of force that needs to be applied to move a load over a flat, level
surface using a well maintained handling aid is at least 2% of the load weight. For example, if the load
weight is 400 kg, then the force needed to move the load is 8 kg. The force needed will be a lot larger, if
conditions are not perfect (e.g. wheels not in the right position or a device that is poorly maintained). The
operator should try to push rather than pull when moving a load, provided they can see over it and control
steering and stopping.
Gradients. Get help from another crewmember whenever necessary if they have to negotiate a slope or
ramp, as pushing and pulling forces can be very high. For example, if a load of 400 kg is moved up a slope
of 1 in 12, the required force is over 30 kg even in ideal conditions – good wheels and a smooth slope.
Uneven surfaces. Moving an object over soft or uneven surfaces requires higher forces. On an uneven
surface, the force needed to start the load moving could increase to 10% of the load weight, although this
might be offset to some extent by using larger wheels. Soft ground may be even worse.
Stance and pace. To make it easier to push or pull, employees should keep their feet well away from the
load and go no faster than walking speed.
When Lifting and Handling Consider:

(a) Environment
 Weather: Will the extreme climates impact on the task and make it unsafe.
 Visibility: Ensure lighting is adequate and a clear line of sight.
 Work Area: Check that the path being taken is not obstructed, slippery or otherwise
unsafe.
(b) Individual Factors
 Attitudes: Attitudes may impede on the task.
 Abilities: Disabilities and other special factors may affect performance.
 Clothing: Wear appropriate clothing for the task.
(c) Plan the Lift
 Weight: Always check the weight of the load.
 Size: Repackage heavy articles to reduce the size and width of the individual loads.
 Placement: Ensure a cleared area for placement and store loads that are move regularly at
waist height.
 Equipment and Machinery: It is the seafarer’s obligation to utilise any equipment provided for
safe Manual Handling.
(d) Determine the Best Lifting Technique and Utilise Where Possible:

 Basic Lift – Squat Lift
Utilise the Basic Lift for objects small enough to straddle where your have enough room to use
a wide stance.
 Power Lift - Squat Lift (Like Weight Lifter)
Utilise the Power Lift for objects too large for you to straddle. Similar to the basic lift, the object
shifts your centre of gravity forward and you push you buttocks out to compensate.
 Tripod Lift – Bridging Lift
Utilise the Tripod Lift for objects with uneven weight distribution for example sacks of food.
This lift is recommended for people with decreased arm strength but not recommended for
people with bad knees.
 Golfer’s Lift
Utilise the Golfer’s Lift for small light objects in deep bins and to pick small objects off the floor.
This lift is recommended for people with knee problems or decreased leg strength.
 Partial Squat Lift – One-Handed Lift
Utilise the Partial Squat lift for small light objects with handles close to knee height.
 Two Person Lift
The Two Person Lift must be well co-coordinated to share the load. Good communication
between everyone involved in the lift is essential.
(e) Lifting Technique and Utilise Where Possible:
Injury Prevention
For a good working posture it is important to maintain the three curves of
the spine, the neck area, mid area – ribs and the lower back area.
The curves allow for good posture, balance and the most efficient use of
your muscles and any load is then shared through the whole of the spine
when in this position.
When lifting utilise the large muscle groups, butt or gluteal muscles, thigh
or quad muscles. The large muscle groups have greater muscle fibres to
create large muscle contraction and thus the force to lift reducing the risk
of injury. Keep your back straight, use your legs and flex at the hip, knees
and ankles.
Core stability or core strength supports the lower back like an internal
brace for safe lifting. Brace you abdominal muscles while lifting.
Keep the Load Close - Keeping the load close will allow for greater control
of the load and reduce the load on the spine.

Avoid twisting or leaning, use feet to change direction.
Avoid muscle fatigue or aches and pains through good posture, stretching and movement or exercise. If
muscle fatigue is experienced heat, rest, stretching and exercise will help to elevate the fatigue.
Stiff joints and muscles can reduce you ability to keep your back in a safe position as you lift. Poor

Emergency Organisation
Fire Fighting
The first few moments after a fire is discovered are vital in bringing it under control. Personnel who discover
an outbreak of fire must first raise the alarm. Consideration must then immediately be given to the
following points:
a) The ship’s fire alarm signal shall normally consist of a continuous ringing of the general alarm bells.
This may be supplemented by a muster station emergency signals - seven short and one long blast
or one short and one long blast on the whistle, bell or siren.
b) On hearing the alarm, personnel must proceed at once to their fire muster stations.
c) If the fire is in an enclosed room, no door is to be opened until sufficient additional help has arrived.
d) If the fire is accessible, the appropriate fire extinguishing equipment close to hand is to be used.
e) Where it is practicable, any open doors, windows, skylights or other openings must be closed to
exclude air.
f) Where considered appropriate mechanical ventilation to the space on fire is to be stopped.
g) The aim then should be to limit the area of the fire, horizontally and vertically.
Extinguish the fire with fire aid appliances but be aware of, and prevent re-ignition.
All cargo work, loading, discharging, bunkering, ballasting, gas freeing or tank cleaning must be stopped.
All valves, tank lids or other openings on all cargo or bunker tanks must be closed where possible. Every
door into accommodation, pump rooms or stores must also be closed where possible.
Boundary watches should be established on all decks, bulkheads and other structures in the vicinity of the
fire. If necessary, these should be cooled by water to prevent the spread of the fire.
In port, shore assistance must be summoned immediately and, if practicable, cargo and bunker
connections should be disconnected. The procedure for obtaining assistance from the shore is to be clearly
understood for each terminal visited by the vessel.
At sea, the ship must if possible be manoeuvred so as to enable the fire to be restricted and attacked from
windward.

Emergency Party System
General
The system is designed to make the optimum use of small, well-trained squads in order to achieve the
rapid utilisation of equipment and manpower.
The system is set out to deal with any type of emergency that may arise during the operation of a ship. It
does not affect the procedures carried out under an abandon ship situation.
Muster points are detailed on the muster lists posted in the public alleyways.
The organisation for the system does not prohibit preventative action by any person discovering an
emergency situation. Such persons are required to immediately raise the alarm, relaying as much
information as possible as to the nature and position of the incident. Deal with the emergency with
whatever equipment is to hand until such time as relieved by the emergency teams, but do not endanger
your own life by staying at the scene of an emergency if it is not safe to do so.
Implementation of the system
In order to implement the system on board, it is necessary for the ship’s complement to be divided into
small, mobile parties. All crew member must familiarise themselves with the operation and layout of the
equipment on the particular ship in which they are serving.
The system is based on the principle of organisation and control through good communications.
Where crew sizes permit, in addition to the Control and Engine Room parties there will be two emergency
parties. The Master may arrange muster points, and delegate individual duties and or party functions, in
accordance with the number and experience of the personnel at his disposal.
Functions of the Parties: (Name of groups may vary)
(a) Control Party
Is in overall charge of the situation, directs emergency parties on the actions to be taken, to keeping a full
record of events.
Establish and maintain communications with any external agencies with a view of obtaining such external
assistance as may be necessary to deal with the emergency situation.
To advise external agencies of possible dangers to other ships, installations, environment, etc.
(b) Engine Room Party
To maintain essential services and enable the emergency parties to deal adequately with emergency
situations. To take control of emergency situations that may arise in machinery spaces and to advise the
control party of remedial actions being taken.
(c) Nos 1 and 2 Emergency Parties
Under the direction of the Control party, take direct action as necessary to deal with all emergency
situations.
To keep the control party advised as to the effectiveness of the remedial action and
the necessity for additional responses or extra equipment and resources.

Wedge Type Sockets

Ensure that the wedge and socket body are correctly matched as a unit and correctly size matched to the
wire rope being terminated.
Terminations made with wedge-type sockets shall be inspected after the first and second handling. The
narrow end of the wedge shall not protrude beyond the socket body. The dead end (tail) of the wire rope
shall not project the socket by a length which exceeds the length of the socket.
Further information can be obtained by reference to A.S. 2740 ‘Lifting Tackle’ – Wedge – Type sockets’.

Wire Ropes
Ropes that are kinked, flattened or have more than 10 per cent of wires broken in any length of eight
diameters should not be used.
When using ‘Bull Dog’ wire rope grips, a minimum of three grips are to be used for ropes up to 20mm (3/4”)
diameter 4 up to 32 mm (1/4”) diameter ropes 5 to 38 mm (1 ½”) diameter rope. The bridge of the grip must
be fitted to the working part of the rope. (See sketch below).
Do not use ropes less than 6mm (1/4”) diameter.
To obtain maximum service from wire ropes used on drums or pulleys, the diameter of the drums or pulleys
should not be less than 20 times the diameter of the rope with power operation, and 10 times with hand
operation.
Ropes are not to be exposed to a greater temperature than 93o C (200o F).
