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.

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.
Nh-ng ®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)

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?

Tr-êng 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.

C/Off : What are some other dangers?

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

coal is being loaded, there is a danger of asphyxiation.

the oxygen over time. You have to take special care and

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.

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.

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

Mate’s papers to the doctor. The doctor will fill them out after
the examination and return them to him. You must tell the
doctor exactly what is wrong with you.

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.
