Unit 32 Safety Training - On Deck (CD1)

HuÊn luyÖn an toµn - Trªn boong
A/Off : OK. Now you must wear a safety helmet and safety shoes.
Nµo. B©y giê çc anh ph¶i ®éi mò vµ mang giµy b¶o hé.
Avarro : But the safety helmet makes me hot, and the safety shoes are too heavy.
I think that we can still work safely with lighter fittings.

A/Off : I know it’s more comfortable with lighter gear, but don’t forget it can
be pretty dangerous working here. For example, you might slip while
painting and hit your head on the pipeline. Or the radio antenna may
break and fall on the deck. These accidents have happened before. We
never know what may happen.

Ramos : I think we should always wear protective gear. When we are
performing emergency tasks, we won’t have time to get our safety
helmets or shoes in an emergency. I’d rather be always ready for an
emergency.

A/Off : That’s good thinking. We don’t have worry about the accidents all of
the time, but if you wear safety gear, you will be more prepared if an
accident happens. If you aren’t dressed properly, it might slow down
your work.

Ramos : Yes, you see, you could slip and fall or you could trip on a rope,
resulting in serious injured. Be careful especially on the deck, which is
covered with denatured epoxy paint. That paint becomes wet and
slippery when it is humid. The hawser could also break. And that
could be dangerous for the crew. So be careful when you are on stand-
by.

Unit 33 On the Deck of a Bulk Carrier in Port (CD2-2)

A/Off : Wait! Don’t pass by there! There’s a safety rope there, and you might
stumble there. Walk on the other side, on the port side.

Avarro : But going by the starboard side is faster.
Nhng ®i bªn m¹n ph¶i th× nhanh h¬n.
A/Off : You’re right, but it’s more dangerous walking on the starboard side.
Lumps of ore could fall through a gap in the grab. You’d be seriously
injured if a lump hits you. It could even kill you. Even when the grab is
still on shore, it’s hard to walk on the deck because it gets covered with
ore.

A/Off : You may not believe, but there was an accident like that on a container
ship just recently. A lashing worker from the shore fell from the top of
the bulwark. And he was very experienced. The wire in his hand
swung him around, and he lost his balance. He was taken to the hospital
by ambulance, but the accident nearly cost him his life. He fell on the
wharf right by the gangway that the crew uses to go on shore.
Fortunately, no one was there when he fell. Another time, a hatch cover
dropped from a gantry crane onto the wharf while it was being
transferred from a container ship. They were lucky that nobody was
injured in that accident, either.

Unit 34 Dangers on a Tanker (CD2-3)
Nh÷ng mèi nguy hiÓm trªn tµu dÇu
C/Off : Because you are new on the tanker, let’s begin this training session with
the basics. Refer to the green brochure Safety on a Tanker. Well, what
kinds of dangers do you think are lurking on a tanker?

Santos : An even worse case is an explosion.
Trêng hîp tåi tÖ h¬n n÷a lµ næ.
C/Off : That’s right. The tanks are filled with crude-oil vapor, and when the
oil is being loaded, it could spill onto the deck. The vapor, or
hydrocarbon gas, is very dangerous. You should never carry matches
or lighters while on the deck. You may not even carry them to your
cabins.

but I’ve made up my mind to quit smoking. It will be better for my

Cruz : Since we use inert gas, there could be a shortage of oxygen.

C/Off : Actually, there is little oxygen in the tanks. We are not too affected by
inert gas on deck except while performing specific tasks, such as gas
freeing. Toxicity hazards caused by crude oil gas are more likely to
happen.

Unit 35 Tanker Fires and Explosions (CD2-4)

C/Off : You’re right. But what is more important, however, is their
concentration. What I am about to tell you is a little advanced, but we
have to discuss it so you are aware of the dangers.

Cruz : Are you talking about LEL or UEL?
Anh ®ang nãi vÒ LEL hay UFL?
C/Off : Yes. First of all, petroleum gas consists of many different substances.
Each of these has different properties. That’s why the ICS has defined
UEL or UFL as a 10 percent concentration, and LEL or LFL as one
percent.

concentration isn’t within that range.
§iÒu ®ã cã nghÜa lµ h¬i x¨ng dÇu sÏ kh«ng næ trõ khi nång ®é cña nã kh«ng n»m

C/Off : Exactly. And an oxygen concentration of 11 percent is also necessary.
Even if the petroleum gas concentration is in the explosion range, there
can be no explosion if the oxygen concentration is less than 11 percent.

the tanks are filled with the proper amount of inert gas, we don’t have
to worry about static electricity.

C/Off : The most important thing is to check for gas on deck when you are

communication between the deck crew and the engine crew is so
important.

Unit 36 Toxicity Hazards on a Tanker (CD2-5)

Cruz : Is it hydrogen sulfide?
Nã cã ph¶i lµ khÝ hy®r« sunfua kh«ng?
C/Off : Most crude oil comes from wells with high levels of hydrogen sulfide.
But the level is usually reduced by a stabilization process before the
crude oil is loaded. If this systems fails, however, a tanker may load
with a higher-than-usual hydrogen sulfide content. Then special
adjustments must be made. Mexican or Quatar crude oil contains high
levels of hydrogen sulfide, which smells like rotten eggs. Be very
careful not to breathe it because it could paralyze you instantly. One
time, when we were at the ullage hole, a man lost consciousness after
inhaling the gas.

C/Off : We have pocket-sized detectors for hydrogen sulfide. You should
always have one with you. We are allowed to work when the
concentration is less than 10 ppm (pasts per million). If you detect more
gas than the 10 ppm allowed, you must be very careful.

C/Off : Those masks are used when there is gas present or when there is a fire.
They are also useful in the Pump Room if a large amount of oil has
leaked and gas is escaping. But even with a mask on, it is still
dangerous if there is a lot of gas.

Avarro : Really? Why is that?
ThËt µ? T¹i sao vËy?
A/Off : It’s very dangerous in the cofferdams, in the ballast tanks of the
double-bottom, and in the lower stools. Whenever coal is being
loaded, there is a danger of asphyxiation.

over time. You have to take special care and measure the oxygen
detectors, not just once. And you must have enough ventilation.

A/Off : We keep the manholes open for a day or more. It’s natural ventilation.
For double-bottom tanks, we open both the fore and aft holes to let the
air in. Coal catches fire easily. And fire lowers the level of oxygen and
raises the level of carbon dioxide.

A/Off : Right. When berthing at SBM, take the chain from the SBM into this
lead. When three or four chain-links pass through, use the stopper to
clamp it down. It’s easy but dangerous. You should start with the
messenger rope, then the hawser, and the chain follows the wire rope.
But it can get caught in the Panama hole and break.

A/Off : When we are loading at port, the ship’s freeboard is large, which means
that the height from the deck to the tugboat is very high. So a big tug
line is used. You also have to use a big messenger line when you wind

it on the warping end or when using a capstan. Make sure to do this
with the help of as many crewmembers as possible, and follow the
Chief Officer’s orders.

Avarro : Nothing, really.

A/Off : Remember what happened the last time you went with those girls? And
you should set an example, or the rest of the crew might get involved,
too.

Avarro : On second thought, maybe I had better take some condoms with me.

A/Off : An even better idea is not to go there at all. But if you have to go, use
condoms. As the saying goes, “A wise man does not court danger”.

Avarro : A senior officer once told me that washing up well with soap and water
was enough to prevent me from catching anything.

A/Off : That’s nonsense! Sexual diseases can be transmitted by blood, saliva,
body fluids, etc. You are probably safe if a virus only touches your skin.
If a virus comes in contact with a mucous membrane or a wound, then

you could be infected.

Avarro : So a good washing is not enough?

A/Off : It depends on the situation, but in general, it is surely not enough. You
can get STDs easily. And always learn to guard yourselves against
AIDS.
