 GENERAL SAFETY ON SHIPS:

1. NO SMOKING SIGNS:

“NO SMOKING” – THIS SIGN IS DISPLAYED ON THE ACCOMODATION FRONT AS WELL AS ALL
OVER THE SHIP ESPECIALLY ON MAIN CARGO DECK, PUMP ROOM, MACHINERY SPACES & INSIDE
ACCOMODATION SPACES.

SMOKING IS ONLY ALLOWED IN A DESIGNATED SMOKING PLACE USUALLY THE SHIP’S SMOKE ROOM.
2. SIDE RAILING:

Through out the ships length as per international standards a permanent side railing is
attached via welding. The main purpose is to prevent any incident of man-overboard
during ship’s rolling & pitching.
 3. CROSS-OVER FRONT:

*Cross-over fronts are provided where

there might be any obstruction in the pathway.

*The main purpose of cross-over fronts is to

provide a safe & easy passage for people to walk
through and prevent any accident related to
trip and fall.
 4. DETERMINED PASSAGE WAY:

When a ship faces severe heavy weather i.e Rolling & Pitching, this pathway is
determined for safe access on deck.
This walkway is secured with railing on both sides which can be grabbed in heavy
rolling to avoid any injury/incident.
5. LIFE SAVING APPLIANCES:

A- LIFE BOATS & RESCUE BOATS:

A Life Boat & Rescue Boat, both are required to be installed on either sides
of the parent ship. Each Life Boat must have sufficient seating capacity to
accommodate the whole crew of the ship.

The life boats are easy to access & operate with a self-lowering mechanism
when needed. These boats are equipped with all essential items as required
in case of an emergency such as abandoning ship. The life boats include a
Compression-Ignition Engine with sufficient fuel for continuous working up
to 18 hrs., Smoke Flares, Hand Flares, Parachute Flares, Food Ration,
Medical First Aid, Signaling & Communication Devices.
B- LIFE RAFTS:

Self-Inflating Life Rafts are provided on various parts of the main cargo
deck. These can be either operated manually by operating through a
painter mechanism.

Or are able to self-inflate when submerged underwater at a depth of

approx. 4 Meters. A Hydro-Static Release Unit operates when it is
submerged to such a depth thus releasing the life raft which inflates to the
top of the water.
C- LIFE BUOYS WITH LIFE-LINE OR SELF-IGNITING LIGHT:
Life-buoys are fitted at various points through the ship’s length.
They are used to help in case of any emergency. I.e: man-overboard.

The life line as seen in the above picture is attached with the life buoy to help the
person fallen overboard grab it and pull the life buoy towards him.

Some life buoys are

equipped with self-igniting
lights to help
rescue operations at
night time.
D- EMBARKATION LADDER:

Embarkation ladders are

required in
events of boarding when one
has to
board in open seas.

These are kept secured

with quality checks carried
frequently.
6. GUARD/SHAFT COVERS:

Guard/shaft covers are installed on

pumps and motors where required.

The main purpose of installing

guard/shaft covers is to isolate the
coupling section or shaft from external
sources which might cause damage to
either the shaft, coupling or motor fan.

Ex: COP, Vacuum Pump, Hydraulic

Pumps.
7. SAFETY COVERS:
A- SAFETY COVER ON POWER TOOLS:
B- SAFETY COVERS ON HEAVY MACHINERY:
8. EXHAUST FANS:
9. FIRE FIGHTING APPLIANCE (FFA):
1. FIRE HOSE & NOZZLE.
2. FIRE HYDRANT.
3. PORTABLE FIRE
EXTIGUISHERS.
10. HYPERMMIST FIXED FIRE FIGHTING SYSTEM:

A hyper-mist fixed firefighting system is installed on each vessel as per IMO

standards for fighting against fire incidents INVOLVING:
*Boilers.
*Main Engine.
*Generators.
*Incinerator.
*Fuel & Lube Oil Purifier.
11. ELECTRICAL INSULATION & CAUTION:

* ALL ELECTRIC PANELS HAVE

INSULATION MATS LAID OUT
FOR USER PROTECTION.

PANELS HAVE DEAD METAL

FRONT & INTERLOCK SYSTEM
FOR MORE PROTECTION.
