Study Notes

Safety Procedures for Personnel

Goal: Create effective training for personnel joining the ship, highlighting company priorities.
Scope: Captains, 1st officers, and deck officers.

Policies

Prevention: Prevent accidents and fatalities, protect the environment and ensure safe navigation.
Equipment/Cargo Safety: Emphasize the safety of cargo, equipment, and the ship itself.
Efficiency: Maintain optimal technical and operational effectiveness.

Captain's Review

Annual Review (October): Captains review the Emergency Action Plan (EYS) and record notes on the system in docnetix/formlar/ISM.
Annual GGP Review (October): Captains also complete the annual GGP review simultaneously.
Documentation: Notes are recorded in docnetix/formlar/güvenlik (English).
Flexibility: Captains can record feedback on the systems at any time.

Pre-Job Safety Briefings

Responsibility: The person in charge of a task gives a short briefing about general safety rules, hazards specific to the work area, and emergency procedures to all personnel involved before and during work.
Recording: Details from briefings are summarized in the ARFLEET Daily Work Task system under TOOL > NOTES.
Example Entry: "Pre-job safety briefing was conducted. Participants were reminded of the dangers of X and the safety measures to take to avoid accidents involving Y."

Reporting Non-Compliance

Reporting: All incidents that violate EYS or ISM rules are reported.
Investigation: Root cause analysis and preventative measures are crucial.
Approval: Captains and chief engineers approve reports before submission.
Response Time: Personnel response within 3 days, report resolution within a month, and implementation of corrective actions within 3 months.
Observation: Non-critical incidents not necessarily involving root cause investigation are labelled as "Observation" and tracked.

Near Misses

Definition: An event potentially causing harm but did not impact persons or equipment.
Crucial: Reporting near-misses and analyzing their causes is essential.

Tracking System

Data Collection: Track incidents, observations, near misses, safety & security meeting minutes, vessel logs, equipment failure reports, and PMS records.
Review: A review process is needed to ensure tracking and reporting.

Work and Rest Times

Planning in Advance: Work schedules should be planned 1-2 days in advance, and adjusted based on the port timetable, weather conditions, which will then be communicated to crew.
Training Coordination: Training schedules must be organized, minimizing fatigue.
Overtime: Overtime hours must be kept below permissible limits, and overtime will be reported as part of work logs, and must be logged
Compensatory Time Off: Lost rest time, due to unforeseen circumstances, must be made up as overtime
Important: Strict adherence to rest limits and time allocation is emphasized.

Health and Hygiene

Regular Inspections: Weekly checks by the captain and cabin staff to ensure cleanliness and hygiene across all living areas.
Monthly Inspections: Monthly inspections are performed for areas dedicated to living, hobbies, and relaxation by a team including the captain, chief engineer, and first officer to ensure cleanliness, upkeep and safety inspections of all areas.
Maintenance: PMS documented cleaning practices and procedures to track and prevent deficiencies in the living areas.
Medical Attention: Prompt medical treatment, with proper documentation for all medical consultations.
Medications: Properly track and manage the expiration dates of medications and supplies.
Food Safety: Prevent cross-contamination by ensuring sealed and covered food containers.

Stability

Stability Booklets: Review the final stability booklet and compared calculated drafts with actual drafts, investigating the cause of any discrepancies.
Stress Monitoring: Evaluate and monitor stress, checking for concentrations.
Ballast Systems: Examine ballast piping diagrams and identify critical areas.
Slack: Minimize slack in tank compartments.

Refrigerated Container

Manifests: Refrigerated containers must have manifests filed before loading.
Data Matching: Verify the loading plan matches the manifest, especially confirming cargo types, humidity, and temperatures.
Location: I.os officers mark reefer container placements on bay plan, advising each department accordingly.
Handling: Strict compliance with reefer handling procedures is crucial to avoid risks associated with temperature and humidity discrepancies.

Dangerous Goods:

Manifests: Ensure all dangerous goods manifests are filed before loading.
Location: Establish and record clear positions for dangerous cargo on the bay plan, adhering to safety regulations
