GENERAL SAFETIES ON SHIPS:
1. NO SMOKING
CAUTIONS:

• “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 trips 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.
• The walkway is secured with railing on both sides which can be grabbed in heavy rolling to avoid any
injury/incident.
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.
• Easy to operate, with self-lowering mechanism.
• Equipped with all essential items as required in case of an emergency.
• 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- SELF-INFLATING LIFE RAFTS:

• Self-Inflating Life Rafts are provided on various parts of the main cargo deck.
• Manual operation includes by operating through a painter mechanism.
• Able to self-inflate when submerged underwater at a depth of approx. 4 Meters through a Hydro-Static Release
Unit.
 C- LIFE BUOYS WITH LIFE-LINE OR SELF-IGNITING LIGHT:
• Life-buoys are fitted at various points throughout the ship’s length.
They are used to help in case of any emergency. I.e: man-overboard.

The life line as seen in this 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.

MECHANICAL SAFETIES.
 6. GUARD/SHAFT
COVERS:
• These are installed on pumps and motors where rotating parts exist.
• The main purpose of installing these covers is to isolate the part 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:

GRINDING MACHINE
GRINDING BENCH
B-SAFETY COVERS ON HEAVY MACHINERY:
 8.EXHAUST FANS:

The main purpose is to provide atmosphere change(continuous ventilation) in

spaces where toxic gases might accumulate.
FIRE FIGHTING APPLIANCES:
 9. FIRE
STATIONS:

• 1. FIRE HOSE & NOZZLE.

• 2. FIRE HYDRANT.
• 3. PORTABLE FIRE
EXTIGUISHERS.
10. HYPERMMIST FIXED FIRE FIGHTING
SYSTEM:

INVOLVING:
• *Boilers.
• *Main Engine.
• *Generators.
• *Incinerator.
• *Fuel & Lube Oil Purifier.
ELECTRICAL SAFETIES ON SHIP:
 11. ELECTRICAL INSULATION & CAUTION:

• ALL ELECTRIC PANELS HAVE INSULATION MATS LAID OUT FOR USER
PROTECTION.
• PANELS HAVE DEAD METAL FRONT & INTERLOCK SYSTEM FOR
ADDITIONAL PROTECTION.
12. SAFETY PROCEDURES/SIGNS POSTED ON
ALL FRONTS:
A. SAFETY PROCEDURES FOR CARRYING OUT HOT WORK.
B. SAFETY SIGNS FOR ENCLOSED SPACE ENTRY.
C. PROCEDURES TO CARRY OUT INCASE OF ELECTRIC SHOCK INCIDENT.
D. DETAILED LIST OF MACHINERY SUPPLIED POWER THROUGH
EMERGENCY GENERATOR.
