1- International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS): This is an international

treaty that sets minimum safety standards for ships engaged in international voyages.
International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code: This code was developed in
response to the 9/11 attacks and sets out the minimum security requirements for ships
and port facilities. International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code: This code
provides guidance on the safe transportation of dangerous goods by sea. International
Convention on Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping for Seafarers
(STCW): This convention sets minimum training, certification, and watchkeeping
standards for seafarers. International Convention on Load Lines (LL): This convention sets
out the minimum requirements for the placement of load lines on ships.

2- Safety Training: Crewmembers should receive regular safety training, which should
cover the different types of dangers that they may encounter aboard the ship. This
training may include topics such as fire safety, man overboard procedures, and
personal protective equipment.
Safety Briefings: Before setting sail, the captain or other designated officer should
conduct a safety briefing with all crewmembers. Signage: Signs should be posted
throughout the ship to indicate potential hazards and to provide instructions for
responding to emergencies.
Written Procedures, Risk Assessments:

2- Danger Signs: These signs are used to indicate an immediate and potentially life-
threatening hazard, Warning Signs: These signs are used to indicate a potential hazard or
danger that may cause injury or damage. Caution Signs: These signs are used to indicate
a potential hazard or danger that may not cause injury or damage but could result in
unsafe behavior.

4Risk Assessment: A risk assessment should be conducted to identify hazards and


determine the appropriate PPE required to control the risk.
Selection of PPE: PPE should be selected based on the identified hazards and the
requirements of the job. The PPE should be suitable for the intended use,
comfortable, and fit the wearer correctly.
Provision and Maintenance of PPE: The employer is responsible for providing and
maintaining the PPE, ensuring that it is in good condition, and replacing it as
necessary.
Training and Information: Seafarers should receive training and information on the
correct use and maintenance of the PPE, as well as the risks associated with the job.
Storage and Disposal: PPE should be stored in a clean, dry place, and disposed of
in accordance with local regulations.
Examples of PPE required under COSWP include safety helmets, eye protection, hearing
protection, respiratory protective equipment, gloves, safety footwear, and high-visibility
clothing. The specific requirements for PPE may vary depending on the type of vessel and
the nature of the work being performed.

5- Personal protective equipment (PPE) is a type of protective gear that is designed to protect
the wearer from physical, chemical, biological, or other hazards that may be present in the
workplace.
