INSTRUCTIONS
DOCUMENTATION OVERVIEW
General
This section contains details of all the documentation used in relation to the
Safety Management System.
A general overview of the SMS documentation is available on document
LSMS100.

Checklist Completion
Within this section there are a number of checklists that MUST be used
when certain operations are carried out. The Safety Management System
requires documentary evidence that the checklists have been used and
completed for the appropriate operation. This gives the vessel two options
for checklist completion:
I. A new paper checklist is completed each time the operation is carried
out and then filed for review by auditors / company management at a
later date.
II. The checklists are laminated and filled in with a chinagraph (or similar)
each time. On this occasion a very specific statement e.g. Port
Departure Checklist Completed at 1100 by FG would have to be
written into the deck logbook. Be aware that an auditor would expect to
find the laminated checklists close to hand and appear to be used. He
would also question the appropriate personnel as to the contents of the
checklists.

Form LSMS1 Deck Daily Report


Lantana requires a Deck Daily Report on form LSMS1 to be sent to the
office every morning before 0830 Brunei time. This report lists all the deck
activities of the previous 24-hour period and can also be used to pass
information to the office.

Form LSMS2 Weekly Report


Lantana requires weekly report on form LSMS2 to be sent to the office
every Monday Morning. This document contains the latest status on
outstanding defects and requisition orders.

ELECTRICAL WORK BATTERY


MAINTENANCE
Introduction
This procedure details the guideline safety practices electrical work and
work related to lead Acid batteries.
Reference:
Code of Safe Working Practices for Merchant Seamen.

Electrical work
The ship electricians normally work independently to other departments
onboard.
The regular ship practices shall however also guide the Electrician, and he
shall in particular observe following issues:
Electrical work shall comply with the Code of Safe Working Practices for
Merchant Seamen.
He shall report to the Chief Engineer.
The Work Permit System shall also relate to electrical work.

Batteries - General
When a battery is being charged it gases, giving off both hydrogen and
oxygen Because hydrogen is easily ignited in concentrations ranging from 4
percent to 75 per cent in air, battery containers and compartments should be
kept adequately ventilated to prevent an accumulation of dangerous gas.
Smoking and any type of open flame should be prohibited in a battery
compartment. A conspicuous notice to this effect should be displayed at the
entrance to the compartment.
Lighting fittings in battery compartments should be properly tightened. If
cracked or broken glasses cannot be replaced immediately, the electric
circuit should be isolated until replacements are obtained.
No unauthorised modifications or additions should be made to electrical
equipment (including lighting fittings) in battery compartments.
Portable electric lamps and tools, and other portable power tools, which
might give rise to, sparks should not be used in battery compartments.
The battery compartment should not be used as a store for any materials or
gear not associated.
A short circuit of even one cell may produce an arc or sparks which may
cause an explosion of any hydrogen present. Additionally, the very heavy
current, which can flow in the short-circuiting wire or tool, may cause burns
due to rapid overheating of the metal.
Insulation and/or guarding of cables in battery compartments should be
maintained in good condition.
All battery connections should be kept clean and tight to avoid sparking and
overheating. Temporary clip-on connections should never be used as they
may be worked loose due to vibration and cause a spark or short circuits.
The use of insulated tools is recommended.

Jewellery, watches and rings etc should be removed when working on


batteries. A short circuit through any of these items will heat it rapidly and
may cause a severe skin burn. If rings cannot be removed, they should be
heavily taped in insulating material.
The battery charges and all circuits fed by the battery should be switched off
when leads are being connected or disconnected. If a battery is in sections, it
may be possible to reduce the voltage between cells in the work area, and
hence the severity of an accidental short circuit or electric shock, by
removing the jumper leads between sections before work is begun. It should
be appreciated that whilst individual cell voltages may not prevent a shock
risk, dangerous voltages can exist when numbers of cells are connected
together in series. A lethal shock needs a current of only tens of milliamps
and particular care should be exercised when the voltage exceeds 50V.
Battery cell vent plugs should be screwed tight while connections are being
made or broken.
The ventilation tubes of battery boxes should be examined regularly to
ensure that they are free from obstruction.
Lids of battery boxes should be fastened while open for servicing and
properly secured again when the work is finished.
Batteries should be kept battened into position to prevent shifting in rough
weather.
Alkaline and lead-acid batteries should be kept in separate compartment or
separated by screens. Where both lead-acid and alkaline batteries are in use,
great care should be exercised to keep apart the materials and tools used in
servicing each type, as contamination of the electrolyte may cause
deterioration of battery performance and mixing of the two electrolytes
produce a vigorous chemical reaction, which could be very dangerous.
Both acid and alkaline electrolytes are highly corrosive. Immediate remedial
action should be taken to wash off any accidental splashes on the person or
on the equipment. Hands should always be washed as soon as the work is
finished.
Batteries should always be transported in the upright position to avoid
spillage of electrolyte. A sufficient number of men should be employed
since the batteries are heavy and painful strains or injury can otherwise
easily result.

Lead-Acid Batteries
When the electrolyte is being prepared, the concentrated sulphuric acid
should be added SLOWLY to the water. IF WATER IS ADDED TO THE
ACID, THE HEAT GENERATED MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION OF
STEAM, SPLATTERING ACID OVER THE PERSON HANDLING IT.
Goggles, rubber gloves and protective apron should be worn when acid is
handled.
To neutralize acid on skin or clothes, copious quantities of clean fresh water
should be used.
An eyewash bottle should be to hand in the compartment for immediate use
on the eyes in case of accident. This bottle should be clearly distinguishable
by touch from acid or other containers, so that a person who is temporarily
blinded may easily locate it.
The corrosion products, which form round the terminals of batteries, are
injurious to skin or eyes. They should be removed by brushing, away from
the body. Terminals should be protected with petroleum jelly.

An excessive charging rate causes acid mist to be carried out of the vents
onto adjacent surfaces. This should be cleaned off with diluted ammonia
water or soda solution, and affected areas then dried.

Alkaline Batteries
The general safety precautions with this type of battery are the same as for
the lead-acid batteries with the following exceptions.
The electrolyte in these batteries is alkaline but is similarly corrosive. It
should not be allowed to come into contact with the skin or clothing, but in
the case of accident the affected parts should be washed with plenty of clean
fresh water. Burns should be treated with boracic powder or a saturated
solution of boracic powder. Eyes should be washed out thoroughly with
water followed immediately with a solution of boracic powder (at the rate of
one teaspoon to litres of one pint of water). This solution should be
always readily accessible when the electrolyte is handled.
Unlike lead acid batteries, metal cases of alkaline batteries remain live at all
times and cares should be taken not to touch them or to allow metal tools to
come into contact

Dangers of Sulphuric Acid


Batteries contain sulphuric acid that may leak for a variety of reasons or be
given off as droplets and / or spray during charging.
Sulphuric acid is a poisonous and corrosive liquid, which can burn / irritate
the skin and eyes and could burn clothing.

Precautions

Wear protective clothing.

Handle batteries with care.

Never overfill cells.

Maintain good ventilation.

Emergency Action
Skin Contact Immediately wash the affected area with copious amounts of
clean water. Remove any contaminated clothing. Seek medical treatment if
symptoms occur.
Eye Contact Immediately irrigate eyes for at least fifteen minutes with
clean water or if available 1-% boric saline solution. Obtain medical
treatment.
Swallowing Drink copious amounts of limewater, milk of magnesia, water
or milk. DO NOT induce vomiting. Obtain medical attention preferably at a
hospital as soon as possible.
Spillages Wear protective clothing and swill away with large volumes of
water.

Electrical Energy
The accidental connection of battery terminals by conductive objects, e.g.
metal tools or metal personal jewellery, etc. may generate sufficient heat to
cause burns, create arcing or cause molten metal to splash.

Precautions
Before using metallic tools on a battery remove metallic objects from hands
and wrists.
Do not place tools on top of batteries.
Ensure coverall pockets are empty of conductive objects and / or pockets
securely fastened.

Emergency action
Electric Shock Approach victim with care. Switch off or otherwise break
current If not possible detach victim from contact by means of insulating
material wood, rubber or plastic etc. Do not touch with bare hands. Apply
first aid. Seek medical advice.
Burns treat with sterile bandage. Seek medical advice.

Battery Storage and Handling


Even a battery in storage may create an explosive mixture of hydrogen and
oxygen. This gas may be released when the battery is moved or shaken. An
explosive atmosphere exists if the concentration of hydrogen exceeds 4%
and even static electricity can be a source of ignition. Always ensure all
previous noted precautions are adhered to.
Wet lead acid batteries should be fully charged when put into storage. The
storage area should be as cold as possible and dry. Wet batteries in stock
must be recharged before the no load voltage reduces to 12.25volts.

Disposal
Wet lead acid batteries must be disposed of in line with all current
legislation. Should further advice be required, contact Lantana Office.

HANDLING AND DISPOSAL OF REFRIGERANTS


General
Refrigerants in the form of Freon R22 posses environmental hazards.
Refrigerants contain Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) or
Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) that causes depletion of the Ozone
layers hence global warming. Refrigerants are mainly used onboard the
vessels in refrigerators, freezer/ cold room, air conditioning unit and ice
making machines.
Refrigerants may leak to the atmosphere through one or more of the
following activities:

Improper storage

Maintenance / Worn equipment or machineries

Refill of refrigerants and disposal

Storage
All refrigerant containers or cylinders must be stored in their designated area
as such that they are not subjected to misused, mishandled, impact, roll
during vessel movement and damage.
Valve on the cylinders should be secured from accidentally turned on.

Handling
During maintenance of such machineries or refill, care must be taken to
prevent leakage on connections, gauges, valves and hoses. Upon detection
of leakage on the system or machineries, immediate action shall be taken by
the responsible person to rectify the leakage.
During transportation, care must be taken to prevent accidental open of
valve or puncture to the cylinder.

Disposal
Empty refrigerant cylinders shall be returned to the supplier or competent
contractor for disposal. The cylinders should not be vented or de-gas to the
atmosphere UNLESS a responsible person has ensured that the content had
been completely drain by means of vacuum pump to create slight negative
pressure to the cylinder.

HANDLING OF CHEMICALS
General
Handling of chemicals is part of the normal day routine aboard a ship. A full
risk assessment needs to be carried out. Refer to Chapter 27 of the Code of
Safe Working Practices for Merchant Seamen.

Onboard Standards
It is important that the use of chemicals is carefully controlled onboard.
Chemicals must only be stowed in designated areas. Full safety data must be
available for all chemicals onboard. Untrained personnel must not be
allowed to use chemicals unsupervised.

Chemical Stowage
Chemicals should only be stowed onboard in designated stowage areas.
There may be a number of these areas onboard, however the fever areas
there are, the easier the operation is to manage.
All chemical stowage areas must at least conform to the following minimum
requirements:
i) The stowage area should not be near any source of ignition.
ii) The stowage area must not be near an emergency escape route.
iii) All chemical containers must be able to be secured against vessel
movement.
iv) There must be no chemicals stowed in the same area, which react with
each other.
v) The area must be clearly marked as a designated chemical stowage area
vi) A clear list must be available showing, which chemicals are to be
stowed in that area.
vii) Hazard or Safety Data Sheets must be available at the stowage area for
all the chemicals in that stowage area. Clear instructions for the
chemicals use and required personal protection should be prominently
displayed.
viii) Any extra Personal Protective Equipment that is required for using the
chemicals must be available at the designated stowage area. E.g. gloves
and visors.
ix) There must be an eye wash station at the designated stowage area.
x) A copy of the Chemical Handling Checklist LSMS34 must be available
in the chemical stowage area.
xi) A copy of the Chemical Locker Sign LSMS74 should be displayed at
each designated stowage point.
The setting up of chemical stowage area in them will not increase chemical
handling awareness without training and guidance for all ships personnel.
Prior to using chemicals a documented risk assessment should be carried out
to identify all the possible hazards and the required precautions.

HOT WORK / WELDING AND BURNING


Welding and burning Safety
Do not operate equipment for welding and related thermal processes unless
you are thoroughly familiar with the process and the equipment including
the response to fire and emergencies, and have been approved as competent
by the Chief Engineer. Preparation for hot work should include, without
being limited to, the safety measures listed below. Reference should also be
made to the Code of Safe Working Practices for Merchant seamen.

Hot Work Procedure


All relevant check lists and permits for hot work shall have been issued. Hot
work permits must take account of the condition of bordering areas, spaces
and pipe work, which must be gas free.
If work is being done outside the workshop the operator is to be
accompanied by an assistant, protected like the operator.
If work has to be done within a confined space the assistant should be
placed outside, within view of the welder, and able to rapidly cut off the gas
or power supplies.

Work Site
Tidy up the work site and ensure that it is free of any flammable materials,
liquids and gases. Remove any such material from the work site (and
adjacent spaces, including spaces above and below decks, behind bulkheads
and inside pipes or containers which are to be worked on) to a safe distance.
Cover any openings through which sparks may reach other areas, which
have not been prepared for hot work.
If necessary shield the work site to protect others from sparks and radiation
from the arc, and post a warning sign that welding is in progress.
Sufficient and correct fire fighting equipment is to be available at the work
site, and personnel familiar with its use are to be in attendance. A watch is to
be kept on areas not visible to the welder that may be affected.
The work site is to be properly ventilated, if necessary with fume extraction
equipment and fresh air supply. This is especially important when working
on galvanized or other coated surfaces, which may produce harmful, fumes
when heated.

Gas Cylinders
Store gas cylinders in suitable separate storage rooms above deck, with no
ignition sources, and marked with No Smoking notices. Avoid excessive
temperatures. Where installed, fixed gas distribution systems shall be used,
to reduce the need to transport cylinders around the ship. Great care is
required to ensure that outlets not in use are properly isolated and capped.
Oxygen pressure should always be higher than Acetylene, to prevent
backflow. Acetylene is dangerous at pressures above 1 atmosphere. Only
acetylene cylinders of approximately equal pressure should be coupled.
Gas cylinders should always be fitted with valve caps before being moved,
and cylinder trolleys used for transport. Cylinders shall be secured in upright

position. Acetylene and oxygen regulators shall be fitted with flashback


arrestors. Cylinders shall be protected from heat and mechanical damage.
The valve opening of Acetylene cylinders shall point away from other
compressed gas cylinders and a heat resistant mitten shall always be
available.

Equipment
All equipment must be checked by a competent person before use. If in any
doubt about its condition or safety the Chief Engineer must be consulted.
When not in use equipment should be cleaned and stowed in a dry safe
place.
Check that any electrical power source functions correctly according to
relevant instructions and regulations, and is correctly connected to the mains
with correct voltage and frequency, and that you are familiar with the
operator instructions. DC voltage should not exceed 70V, with minimum
ripple.
Hoses are to be in good condition, with no leaks or damage, and with correct
colour coding for the gases in use. (Red for Acetylene, Blue for Oxygen,
Black for shielding gases and filtered air). Use the correct hose connectors
and hose clamps. Check all gas connections for leaks, including torch
valves. Replace any defective gaskets with specified new gaskets only.
Never use oil or grease in connection with welding gases and never use
alloys containing more than 65% copper or 45% silver in connection with
Acetylene. Any hose in which a flashback has occurred must be discarded.
Cables are to be of oil resistant type with undamaged insulation and
properly mounted cable connectors.
Use safety cable connectors where both halves have recessed current
carrying parts to protect from accidental contact.
Check that torches and electrode holders are in good working order,
including checks of blowpipes, nozzles, electrodes and insulation.
Electrode holders should be fully insulated. If cracked they should not be
used.
Keep hoses and cables clear of passageways and protected from sparks, hot
metal and mechanical damage in doorways, hatches etc.

Personal Protection
When working, wear non-conducting safety shoes and a clean natural fibre
boiler suit with long sleeves. Do not wear clothes of highly combustible
materials or manmade fibres, or clothes that are wet, and do not carry
combustible material, e.g. matches, lighters, oil rags.
Never touch electrically live parts, e.g. the welding electrode, without being
properly insulated. Dry leather welding gloves should always be used, and
when appropriate a dry leather apron for protection against sparks, heat and
electric shock.
Use head and face protection (helmet, shield, goggles) according to the job.
Ensure that filter glasses are unbroken and have the correct shade.
When necessary use a dust filter or breathing apparatus to avoid inhaling
fumes and dust from the welding process.

When work is interrupted or ended


Always switch off the welding machine and close off the gas supply at the
gas outlet station or cylinder valve, even during short breaks. Always
remove the electrode from the electrode holder.
Do not leave the work site unattended. When hot work is completed. The
work site shall be inspected at regular intervals to ensure that no risk of fire
remains, for at least 2 hours after completion. Only when this has been
assured should fire-fighting equipment be returned to its normal storage
place.

crewmembers are not required to work such hours or under such conditions
as may be injurious to their health and safety.
The Master shall ensure that the working and watchkeeping hours shall be
arranged so that:
1) All persons, who are assigned duties as officer in charge of a watch or a
rating forming part of a watch, shall be provided with a minimum of 10
hours rest in any 24-hour period.
2) The hours of rest may be divided into no more than two periods, one of
which shall be of at least 6 hours duration.
3) The requirements in paragraphs 1 and 2 above need not be maintained
in the case of an emergency, a drill or other overriding operational
conditions. Overriding operational conditions shall be construed as
meaning only essential shipboard work which cannot be delayed for
safety or environmental reasons or which could not reasonably have
been anticipated at the commencement of the voyage.
4) Notwithstanding paragraphs 1 and 2 above, the minimum period of 10
hours may be reduced to not less than 6 consecutive hours provided that
any such reduction shall not extend beyond two days and not less than
70 hours of rest are provided in each seven-day period.
5) Watch schedules shall be drawn up and posted where they are available
to all crewmembers.
6) For Masters, Officers and Seamen engaged in navigation, steering,
lookout or machinery space watchkeeping duties, the recommended
maximum period of continuous watchkeeping is 6 hours. The minimum
rest between watches shall be one 6-hour period in any 24-hour period
with the remainder sufficient to conform to the paragraphs above. The
hours worked should average no more than 12 hours per day, 84 hours
per week or 336 hours per 4 week period.
7) The Master shall ensure that any situation, which requires deviation
from the above requirements, is recorded in the Bridge Log Book or in
a suitable file, readily available for inspection. Any such record must be
retained for a period of five years.
8) Every Master, Officer and Seaman shall, so far as is reasonably
practicable, ensure that he or she is properly rested when commencing
duty on the vessel and that he or she obtains adequate rest during off
duty periods.

LIFTING APPLIANCES
General
Any appliances and gear used for lifting, lowering and handling loads on a
ship should be inspected and, where necessary tested at regular intervals.
Particulars of inspections, examinations, and tests carried out should always
be kept up to date and recorded in the chain register.
All lifting appliances, including slings and strops, are to be clearly marked
with their Safe Working Load (SWL). The S.W.L. is not to be exceeded in
service.
A competent person should carry out annual Inspections and examinations.
Proof Tests should be carried out by a competent/approved authority or
organization, and statutory certificates of test supplied as necessary. Close
attention is to be paid to statutory survey and proof testing requirements and
no lifting equipment subject to certification requirements is to be used
unless a valid certificate is available.
Inexperience persons should not be left in sole charge of any power lifting
or handling appliance. If such person is under instruction, then the Chief
Engineer or Chief Officer, or such other Officer as the Master may appoint
should closely supervise him.
When difficult or heavy lifts require to be handled the operation should be
conducted under the supervision of the Chief Officer or another senior
officer appointed by the Master.
All lifting appliances must be inspected for apparent defects before each
use.
The unacceptable practice where sling legs are wrapped around part of the
lifting cage frame to shorten the length of the sling must be watched for and
where sighted then amended immediately with the use of a shorter sling
properly secured with shackles.
The Master is to ensure that all lifting equipment is certified in line with
charterer requirement and Classification Society procedures. New
equipment must be supplied complete with the appropriate certificates,
which must be sighted, before the equipment is put into use.
Wires in particular should be accompanied by a certificate for the wire and
for any terminations that have been fitted, the terminations marked in
accordance with charterer requirement and Class Society requirements.
The Master is responsible for all certification of lifting equipment and
records of inspection and testing.

General Requirements for a competent


person
International legislation outlines the requirements for the Competent Person.
A competent person is a person over 18 years of age possessing the
knowledge and experience required for the performance of thorough
examinations and tests of ships lifting plant. Lantanas requirement is that
the person shall demonstrate competent through knowledge of relevant
regulations, design and maintenance of ship related equipment and that the
operator has undergone training in the use of the equipment. This shall be to
the level deemed acceptable based on company instructions and signed off
by the ships Chief Officer.

from Admiralty N to Ms
Introduction
The procedure details the instructions to be followed for corrections to
charts and Roles and Responsibility
The Chief Officer is to be made responsible for the care and upkeep of all
nautical publications supplied by Lantana and for collecting and updating all
warnings and notices published or broadcast by the Hydrographer of the
Navy or by the responsible regional authority. He must bring to the attention
of the Master all information relating to the ship or the voyage as promptly
as may be necessary. Passage plans must take into account all relevant
sources of information.

Notices to Mariners (N to M)
Upon receipt of the weekly N to M, ALL charts and publications carried on
board are to be corrected, irrespective of the area of operations utilized by
the current charter. Weekly N to M are to be retained on board for a
minimum of 12 months.
The weekly edition of Admiralty Notices to Mariners comprises of six
sections, in summary:
Section I: This section contains the index of charts affected and index of
notices.
Section II:
New charts and publications
The chart corrections themselves
Temporary & Preliminary Notices
Section III: Navigational Warnings
Section IV: Corrections to Sailing Directions (SDs)
Section V: Corrections to Admiralty List of Lights & Fog signals (LLs)
Section VI: Corrections to Admiralty List of Radio Signals (ALRS)

Chart Corrections
Charts are to be corrected using the information contained within the
Notices to Mariners.
It is important that all corrections are carried out in violet/magenta coloured
ink so that navigators can see that a correction has been carried out.
N to M chart corrections are to be entered onto the index of charts and
summary of N to M corrections. This log of corrections is to be verified
against the cumulative list of N to M issued every six months.

Lists & ALRS
Corrections to sailing directions are given in section IV, those in force at the
end of the year are given in the annual summary. A list of corrections in
force is given monthly in N to M.
It is recommended that corrections are kept in the bridge file, the file then
being consulted when using the parent book or supplement. When a new
supplement is received, corrections issued after the date of the new
supplement must be retained.
Corrections to Light lists are given in section V, new and extensively altered
entries are intended to be cut and pasted into the relevant LL, a manuscript
entry is to be made for shorter entries. Ensure the index of corrections is
completed inside the front cover.
Corrections to ALRS are contained in section VI, corrections are to be
applied as for LL

PERMIT TO WORK SYSTEM


Introduction
The Work Permit system is in place to control the critical operations on
board where an error may immediately cause an accident or situation, which
could threaten people, the environment or the ship.

Permit to Work Form


The standard Permit to Work form shall be used. Maximum validity is 24
hours from the time issued.
All sections should be completed.
A valid risk assessment must be in force for all conditions where a permit to
work is to be used.

Responsibility
The responsible Officer issuing the permit should delete those sub-sections
and/or conditions as applicable.
All other conditions should be checked off. Careful consideration should be
given to any other conditions appropriate to the risk involved.
Use of Permit to Work form is applicable to as a minimum the following
work tasks:

Entry into enclosed spaces

Hot work (burning and welding)

Electrical work on critical locations or equipment

Working aloft and outboard

Other operations, as appropriate, reference procedure for Risk Assessment

Work Permits Special Instructions


Hot Work
Hot Work General
A Hot Work Permit must be completed and authorized prior to any welding
or burning operations being performed outside the engine room workshop or
other designated and agreed welding station, subject to routine checks
The only exception to this rule is where a qualified shore authority has
issued a valid hot work certificate.
Hot Work within Port Limits
Within port Limits, the permission of the Port Authority is normally
required before any hot work may commence. It should be noted that in
many instances the authority granted by port Bye-Laws extends over
anchorage and approach waters extending considerable distances from the
docks, jetties or wharves. Hot
work must not be allowed during bunkering operations or whilst loading
bulk flammable liquids, dry bulk cargoes or explosives.
Hot Work within Installation 500-meter zone
All hot work shall be suspended while the vessel is within the 500-meter
safety zone of an installation

Entry into Enclosed Spaces


Enclosed spaces are defined as any enclosed or confined spaces which are
not continuously or normally ventilated and in which the atmosphere may be
liable to have an adverse effect on the health of any person. Examples of
such spaces are cargo, ballast, bunker or fresh water tanks, double bottoms,
cofferdams, chain lockers boiler furnaces, pipes or flues and crankcases.
An Entry Permit must be completed and authorized immediately prior to
entry into any enclosed space. The only exceptions to this rule are for
emergency rescue purposes or where a valid entry permit issued by a shore
authority covers the space.
A tank is said to be fit for entry when the space has been ventilated and tests
confirm that the oxygen content is sufficient.
Oxygen deficiency must always be suspected in a cargo tank, which has
contained hydrocarbon vapour or inert gas, or in a compartment which has
been sealed for any length of time. Entry to the tanks must not be made until
21% oxygen indicated on a properly calibrated oxygen analyzer. (Equal to
that from samples taken away from tank in fresh air)
No person shall enter any cargo, ballast, or bunker tank, cofferdam, double
bottom, peak tank or similar enclosed space unless:1. A valid entry permit has been issued.
2. Pipe work and machinery are correctly isolated.
3. The space has been effectively ventilated and gas freed.
4. Ventilation is maintained throughout Entry.
5. Adequate lighting and safe access has been provided.
6. Emergency equipment is ready for use at entrance.
7. A responsible Officer is in attendance and the Deck O.O.W. has been
notified.
8. Communications procedures have been agreed.
Particular attention to the maintenance of a gas free atmosphere is essential
if adjacent compartments contain bulk volatile cargo.
The O.O.W. shall be notified immediately on completion of the tank entry
on each occasion of entry. When repetitive access is necessary, the entry
permit conditions shall be revalidated after each meal break or similar
interruption.

Emergency entry into tanks and


compartments
Whenever it becomes necessary to enter a tank or compartment under
emergency circumstances the Master/Officer in charge must continuously
supervise the operation and ensure that:1. Personnel wear breathing apparatus.
2.
3.
4.

Means of communication are provided and a system of signals is agreed


and understood by the personnel engaged.
A back up BA team including a Senior Officer is in attendance at the
entrance.
The number of personnel entering the compartment is restricted to the
minimum necessary for the proposed work.

Working aloft and Outboard


A man working at a height cannot give his full attention to the job in hand
and at the same time guard himself from falling. Proper precautions should
therefore be taken at all times. A stage or ladder must always be utilized
when working beyond normal reach and safety.
A safety harness or other device must be worn continuously when working
aloft or outboard. Additionally, when work is done overside, life jackets or
working life-vests must be worn.
Before any work is commenced aloft, i.e. near the ships whistle, or the
funnel, or the radar scanner, all precautions should be taken to avoid any
risk to the workers involved. Warning notices must be posted.
Care must be taken when work is being done aloft or at a height, to avoid
any risk to anyone working or moving below. Suitable warning notices must
be displayed. Tools and stores should be sent up in suitable covered
containers, which must be secured in place.
The safety of the person aloft depends upon the strength of the line holding
him, whether it is a lifeline to his harness or gantline to a bosuns chair or
stage. A defective rope must never be used.
Working from ladders should be avoided as far as possible, because there is
a risk of over-balancing and falling. A safety harness with a lifeline secured
along the position of work must be worn when working at a height above
two metres. Any ladder must be securely lashed into position.
A buddy system must be implemented when personnel are working aloft,
overside or within 2 metres of openings in the ships siderails or bulwark or
where a danger of falling from height or overboard exists. The Buddy
system simply comprises a colleague to be together with the primary worker
at all times but free from the primary risk.

Safety Harness Trauma


The subject of safety harness rescue trauma must be fully covered in toolbox
talks given prior to tasks involving working aloft / use of safety harness etc.
All personnel should be trained that suspension in a safety harness in an
upright condition for longer than five minutes can be fatal e.g. - A
carpenter working alone is caught in mid-fall by his safety harness, only to
die 15 minutes later from suspension trauma, e.g. - An electrical worker is
lowered into a shaft after testing for toxic gases. He is lowered on a cable
and is positioned at the right level to repair a junction box. After five
minutes he is unconscious - but his buddies tending the line don't realise it,
and 15 minutes later a dead body is hauled out.
What happens is Suspension trauma is that the legs are immobile with a
worker in an upright posture. Gravity pulls blood into lower legs, which
have a very large storage capacity. Enough blood eventually accumulates so
that return blood flow to the right chamber of the heart is reduced. The heart
can only pump the blood available, so the heart's output begins to fall. The
heart speeds up to maintain sufficient blood flow to the brain, but if the
blood supply to the heart is restricted enough, breathing faster is ineffective,
and the body abruptly slows the heart.
Before the potential fall :
1.

Workers should never be permitted to work alone in a harness.

2.

Rope/cable tenders must make certain the harness user is conscious at


all times.

3.

Time in suspension should be limited to under five minutes Long


suspensions must have foothold straps or means for putting weight on
the legs.

4.

Harnesses should be selected for specific applications and must


consider: compliance (convenience), potential arrest injury, and
suspension trauma.

5.

Tie-off lanyards should be anchored as high and tight as work permits.

After a fall :
Workers should be trained to try and move their legs or to try to push
against any footholds.
Workers hanging in a harness should be trained to try to get their legs as
high as possible and their heads as close to horizontal as possible (this is
nearly impossible with many commercial harnesses in use today).
Fall victims can slow the onset of suspension trauma by pushing down
vigorously with the legs, by positioning their body in a horizontal or slight
leg high position or by standing up.
If the worker is suspended upright, emergency measures must be taken to
remove the worker from suspension or move the fallen worker into a
horizontal posture, or at least to a sitting position.
All personnel should be trained that suspension in an upright condition
for longer than five minutes can be fatal.
For harness rescues :
1) The victim should not be suspended in a vertical (upright) posture with
the legs dangling straight. Victims should be kept as nearly horizontal as
possible, or at least in a sitting position.
Rescuers should be trained that victims who are suspended vertically before
rescue are in a potentially fatal suspension.
Rescuers must be aware that post-rescue death may occur if victims are
moved to a horizontal position too rapidly.

Electrical Work
Auxiliary Machinery and Equipment
Before work is started on an electric generator or auxiliary machine, the
machine should be stopped and the starting air valve or similar device should
be secured so that it cannot be operated. A notice should be posted warning
that the machine is not to be started nor the turning gear used. To avoid the
danger of motoring and electric shock to any person working on the machine,
it should be isolated electrically
From the switchboard or started before work is commenced. The circuit
breaker should be opened and a choice posted at the switchboard warning
personnel that the breaker is to be closed. Where practicable, the circuit
breaker should be locked open.
Electrical Equipment
The risks of electric shock are much greater on board ship than they are
normally ashore because wetness, high humidity and high temperature
(including sweating) reduce the contact resistance of the body. In those
conditions, severe and even fatal shocks may be caused at voltages as low as
60V. It should also be borne in mind that cuts and abrasions significantly
reduce skin resistance.
A notice of instructions on the treatment of electric shock should be posted
in every place containing electrical equipment and switchgear. Immediate
on the spot treatment of an unconscious patient is essential.

Before any work is done on electrical equipment, fuses should be removed or


circuit breakers opened to ensure that all related circuits are dead. If possible,
switches and circuit breakers should be locked open or, alternatively, a not to
be closed notice attached. Where a fuse has been removed, the person
working on
the equipment until the job is finished should retain it. A check should be
made that any interlocks or other safety devices are operative.
Additional precautions are necessary to ensure safety when work is to be
undertaken on high voltage equipment (designed to operate at a nominal
system voltage in excess of 1KV). The work should be carried out by, or under
the direct supervision of, a competent person with sufficient technical
knowledge and a permit to work system should be operated.
Some parts of certain types of equipment may remain live even when the
equipment is switched off. Power should always be cut off at the mains.
Flammable materials should never be left or stored near switchboards.
Work on or near live equipment should be avoided if possible but when it is
essential for the safety of the ship or for testing purposes, the following
precautions should be taken.
A second person, who should be competent in the treatment of electric shock,
should be continually in attendance.
The working position adopted should be safe and secure to avoid accidental
contact with the live parts. Insulated gloves should be worn where practicable.
Contact with the deck, particularly if it is wet, should be avoided. Footwear
may give inadequate insulation if it is damp or has metal studs or rivets. The
use of a dry insulating mat all times is recommended.
Contact with bare metal should be avoided. A hand-to-hand shock is especially
dangerous. To minimize the risk of a second contact should the working hand
accidentally touch a live part, one hand should be kept in a trouser pocket
whenever practicable.
Wrist watches, metal identity bracelets and rings should be removed. They
provide low resistance contacts with the skin. Metal fittings on clothing or
footwear are also dangerous.
Meter probes should have only minimum amounts of metal exposed and
insulation of both probes should be in good condition. Care should be taken
that the probes do not short circuit adjacent connections. When measuring
voltages that are greater than 250V, the probe should be attached and removed
with the circuit dead.

Servicing Radio and Associated Electronic


Equipment
Any precautions against exposure to dangerous levels of microwave radiation
recommended by manufacturers should be strictly followed. Radar sets should
generally not be operated with wave-guides disconnected. However, if it is
necessary for servicing purposed, special precautions should be taken.
Work should not be taken within the marked safety radius of a Satellite
Terminal Antenna unless its transmitter has been rendered inoperative.
Eyes are particularly vulnerable to microwave and ultraviolet radiation. Care
should be taken to avoid looking directly into radar aerial and waveguide
while it is in operation or where arcing or sparking is likely to occur.
Exposure to dangerous levels of X-ray radiation may occur in the vicinity of
faulty high voltage valves. Care should be exercised when fault tracing in the
modulator circuits of radar equipment. An open circuited heater of such valves
can lead to X-ray radiation where the anode voltage is in excess of 5000V.

Vapours of some solvents used for degreasing are toxic, particularly carbon
tetrachloride which should never be used. Great care should be exercised when
using solvents particularly in confined spaces; there should be no smoking.
Manufacturers instructions should be followed.
Some dry recorder papers used in echo sounders and facsimile recorders
give off toxic fumes in use. The equipment should be well ventilated to
avoid inhalation of the fumes.
Radio transmitters and radar equipment should not be operated when men
are working the vicinity of aerials; the equipment should be isolated from
main supply and radio transmitters earthed. When equipment has been
isolated, warning notices should be placed on transmitting and radar
equipment and at the main supply point, to prevent apparatus being switched
on until clearance has been received from those concerned that they have
finished the outside work.
Aerials should be rigged out of reach of personnel standing at normal deck
level or mounting easily accessible parts of the superstructure. If that is
impracticable, safety screens should be erected.
Notices warning of the danger of high voltage should be displayed near
radio transmitter aerials and lead-through insulators.
Additional Electrical Hazards from Radio Equipment
Where accumulators are used they should be disconnected at source;
otherwise precautions should be taken to prevent short circuiting the
accumulator with consequent risk of burns.
Live chassis connected to one side of the mains are usually marked
appropriately and should be handled with caution. Where the mains are AC
and a transformer is interposed, the chassis is usually connected to the earth
side of the supply, but this should be verified using an appropriate meter.
Modern equipment often embodies a Master crystal enclosed in an oven; the
supply to the oven is taken from an independent source and is not
disconnected when the transmitter is switched off and the mains switch is
off. Mains voltage will be present inside the transmitter, care should be
taken.
Before work is begun of the EHT section of a transmitter or other HT
apparatus, with the mains switched off, all HT capacitors should be
discharged using an isolated jumper, inserting a resistor in the circuit to slow
the rate of discharge. This precaution should be taken even where the
capacitors have permanent discharge resistors fitted.
An electrolytic capacitor that is suspect, or shows blistering, should be
replaced, since it is liable to explode when electrical supply is on. There is a
similar risk when an electrolytic capacitor is discharged by a short circuit.
Work at or near live equipment should be avoided if possible but where it is
essential for the safety of the ship or for testing purposes then the additional
precautions should be taken.

the Health and Risk Assessment process.

Explain the job to be carried out and purpose of Risk Assessment.

Step 1 - Task identification

Write down the basic steps required to carry out the task.

If time permits, observe the crew who is actually performing the


job and record the steps. Otherwise, just recall the steps during
discussions.

Step 2 Hazard identification

Look for hazards produced by the actual work and the surrounding
environment.

Observe the job as many times as necessary to identify all hazards.

Step 3 - Persons affected

List the people directly involved in the task and also others who
may be affected i.e. personnel and contractors working in close
proximity to the area where the task is being undertaken and
visitors to the worksite.

Step 4 - Risk Evaluation

For each hazard identified in Step 2, evaluate the risks involved by


using the likelihood of hazard taking place against severity of the
hazard.

Risk Rating (R)


RISK RATING (R) = LIKELIHOOD (L) X SEVERITY (S)

To identify the risk level (R) of a particular job, use the


number on the Likelihood column multiply with the number on
the Severity column.

i.e. Unlikely (L:2) x Harmful (S:2) = Moderate Risk [R:4]

Definition of Risk Ratings are as following:

Score

Risk

Action Needed

1-3

Low risk

4-6

Moderate Risk

8-12

High Risk

15-25

Extreme Risk

No immediate action required. Proceed with care


May be acceptable; however, due care should be employed and task
reviewed to see if risk can be reduced further.
Hazard to be investigated in conjunction with line
manager/supervisor with a view to reducing the risk
The tasks involve substantial / intolerable risk. Task must not be
undertaken until the risk has been reduced. Immediate action must
be taken to eliminate the risk or substantially reduce the risk. If it is
not possible to reduce the risk, work has to be prohibited.

Step 5 - Control measures / Develop Solutions


Assess the health and risks from the identified hazards and check if
the adequate controls are in place. Be systematic; use the following
as a guide.

Find a new way to do the job


Analyse the various ways of doing the job to achieve the
desired results and see which is the safest way.
Consider work saving tools and equipment.

Change physical conditions that create hazards


Tools, materials, equipment layout or location.
Study change carefully for other benefits (costs, time
savings)

Change the work procedure, if any


What should the crew do to eliminate the hazard?
How should it be done?
Document the changes in detail.

Reduce the frequency to carry out task


What can be done to reduce the frequency of the job?
Identify the cause frequent breakdowns/ repairs, and
rectify.

Records your findings


A record should be kept of the health and risk assessment, and of any
measures taken.
Record to be held on board in file for Lantana Hazard and Effects Registers.

Review
Health & Risk assessment to be reviewed regularly. Also to be revised if
any significant changes.

General Waste Management


Purpose
To establish a procedure for the disposal of all waste generated by the project
vessels.
Scope
This procedure applies to all Lantana vessels in accordance with local
requirements. Procedures for each type of waste must be followed to assure
proper packaging, handling and shipping.
Responsibility
Technical Superintendant
The Chief Engineer - vessels
Procedure
Waste Handling and Segregation

Labels will be applied to the drum prior to use.


All waste must be separated into approved drums. Fill only 90% of
the drum. This will allow for expansions of waste without causing the
drum to rupture.
Oil filters must be drained of all oil and placed into a drum for
disposal. Remove any oil (liquid) from the drum, and place into drum
labeled USED OIL. Use a Non Hazardous label on the drum.
When pouring waste into drums it is important that none of the waste
contaminates the outside of the Drum. Contaminated drums will not
be allowed to be transported. Drums, which that have been
contaminated, should be wiped down at the time contamination
occurs.
Empty dirty drums are also considered waste. Place a Non Hazardous
label on the side, and write in Empty under the waste I.D. section of
the label.
Do not mix any materials in the drums. One type of material per drum
only.
Mixing of paint products (paint, thinner, and solvents) with other
waste such as oil or trash will need to be disposed of as a Hazardous
Waste. This is also a dangerous procedure. Chemical reactions can
occur resulting in fire or injury. Do not mix waste.
Drums containing mixed or unknown waste will need to be sampled
and analysed prior to being disposed of.
Combining hazardous waste (painting products) with non hazardous
waste (oil, filters) will result in the contamination of non hazardous
waste, thus creating all waste into hazardous waste.
All Hazardous Waste requires sampling prior to disposal. It is
important to minimise hazardous waste. Example: When painting, use
all the paint that is mixed.
Oily debris is another common waste from the vessel. Do not mix
oily debris with paint products. Place all oily debris into a drum for
disposal. Remove any oil (Liquid) from the drum, and place into
drum labeled USED OIL. Use a Non-Hazardous label on the drum.

Labels
All vessels will be issued labels to be placed on the drums Prior to waste
being added.
These labels will identify the contents to be placed into drum. Placing these
labels on the drums before waste is added should prevent the mixing of waste.
Apply labels to the side of the drum, not on the lid.
List of commonly used labels.
USED OIL - Use on the drum that will contain used oil. Drain oil filters
into this drum.
USED DIESEL - Use on the drum that will contain used diesel. Do not
mix oil in with the diesel.
OILY RAGS - Use on drum containing oily rags; do not put sorbent
pads, or any other oil-contaminated material in with the
oily rags.
SORBALL (Kitty Litter) - Use on drum containing sorball. This
product is swept up after it has absorbed the
fluids. Avoid sweeping up welding rods or
other debris with this product.
OIL SORBENTS - Use on drums containing oily sorbents. Sorbent
pads with solvents should not be placed in this
drum.
USED PAINT - Use on drums containing used paint. Pour only paint
into this drum. Adding solvent or any other waste to
this drum may cause a violent chemical reaction.
FLAMMABLE LIQUID - Apply this label on drums containing any
flammable liquids such as paint and
solvents.
CORROSIVE - Apply to drums containing paint or solvents.
NON HAZARDOUS WASTE - Apply this label to the following
drums: USED OIL, USED DIESEL,
OILY RAGS, SORBALL, OILY
SORBENTS, PAINT AND PAINT
THINNER (only if not mixed with
another substance).
CHEMICAL I.D. - These labels are to be applied to drums and
containers when its contents are to be used over a
period of time or transferred from its original
container to another container. Example: Taking oil
from a drum and putting oil into a five- gallon
bucket apply label to the bucket. When the original
label on any container is removed or damaged apply
this label to I.D. contents of container.
VESSEL NAME - To be used in addition to the content labels.
