Your safety doesnt depend on LUCK!!! It depends on YOU!!!

Poorly maintained machinery, tools, untidy work areas, and cluttered aisles all contribute to injuries.

Fire Escape routes should not be obstructed. In case of a fire, this may be the only way of exiting to safety, by being blocked it could lead to a major Injury or a fatality.

Good housekeeping is essential to create a safer Work Place.

Slipping
Oil, Grease, Water, Soaps, and other chemicals can cause you to slip and fall, so be careful when working with liquids.

Tripping
Wires, Cables and Ropes lying on deck are all potential tripping hazards if not stored correctly.

Falling
Beware of open manholes, open engine room floor plates, unsecure ladders, etc. These are all potential hazards where one could fall and have an injury.

Compression Injuries Heavy machinery, equipment, and other objects can roll over your feet. The result of these types of accidents is often broken or crushed bones. Additionally beware of crushing your fingers against closing doors or getting caught in machinery.

Impact Injuries If you have ever stubbed your toe, you know that impact injuries can hurt. At work, heavy objects can fall on your feet. Avoid stepping on sharp objects.
Page 3

Eye Injury Splashes, Spills, and Drips - Toxic liquids such as acids, caustics, and molten metals can irritate and burn the eyes and skin. Flying particles entering eyes e.g. during chipping can cause injury in the eye. Eye injuries can be prevented if you wear the correct eye or face protection. Hearing Impairment Continuous exposure to loud noise can cause hearing damage. Wearing the correct type of hearing protection will prevent any severe damage to the ears. Hearing loss is a gradual process and is less noticeable than other types of workplace injuries.

How important are these things to me???

To save my: Head / Eyes / Ears / Hands / Leg --------------?

Page 6

There is an easier way, or a safer way. Which do I choose?

REMEMBER - The safest way is not always the fastest way, yet it is worth it!!!
Page 7

Safety glasses may look similar to regular glasses, but they are much stronger and resistant to impact than regular glasses. Wear them while on deck to prevent dust from entering the eye.

Goggles give you more protection than safety glasses because they fit closer to your face. Wear them when de-rusting or working around systems with pressure.

Face shields give the face full protection when working with chemicals, or flying particles. (When Using Grinders)

Page 8

Ensure eye protection is correctly looked after, if damaged, it should be replaced.

Always make sure that guards, shields, and screens are in place and in good working order before using any machine.

Hard hats protect you by providing the following features: A rigid shell that resists and deflects blows to the head. A suspension system inside the hat acts as a shock absorber. Shields your scalp, face, neck, and shoulders against splashes, spills, and drips.

Page 10

Because your hard hat is an important piece of personal protective equipment, you should: Clean your hard hat at least once a month (or as needed) to remove oil, grease, chemicals, and sweat that can collect in and around your hat. You can clean your hat by soaking it in a solution of mild soap and hot water for 5-10 minutes. Rinse with clear water, wipe, and let air dry. Because sunlight and heat can damage the suspension of your hat, always store your hat in a clean, dry, and cool location.

There are NO excuses for not wearing your hard hat!

Many types of hearing protection devices are available. Popular types of hearing protection devices are: 1. Foam Earplugs 2. PVC Earplugs 3. Earmuffs

The advantages of Foam and PVC earplugs are: 1. Small & lightweight; 2. Comfortable in hot environments; and 3. Easily used with other safety equipment. The disadvantages of earplugs are: 1. May work loose and require occasional refitting; 2. Are frequently soiled.
Page 12

The advantages of earmuffs are: 1. 2. One size fits all Fits better for longer periods of time.

The disadvantages of earmuffs are: 1. 2. 3. May fit tight on your head; Uncomfortable in a warm environment; and Problems occur when used with other equipment.

Like what you hear??? Then REMEMBER to protect your hearing!

Dos: Remove flammable material from the welding area. Before welding, check that the appropriate fire fighting equipment is at hand. After welding, observe surrounding area of the work for an adequate period of time. (1 hour)
CAUTION Poorly maintained or badly connected equipment may be extremely hazardous. An electric shock from the output terminals of the welding machine can cause death or serious injury. Avoid bare skin contact with the electrode
Page 14

Don'ts: Dont forget the Hot Work permit. Dont forget to use correct face and hand protection. Dont use worn out cables. Dont engage in welding on deck if it is raining.

Electrical Shock Don't Risk It!!! Avoid unsafe welding practices.

Heat resistant gloves protect your hands from heat and flames.

When welding or cutting metal, do not expose your eyes to heat, glare, ultraviolet, and infrared radiation. Wear the correct eye protection.

Welding helmets provide both face and eye protection. Welding helmets use special absorptive lenses that filter the intense light and radiant energy that is produced during welding operations.

A physical inspection should be carried out prior each use of the crane to make sure it is in safe operating condition. Any deficiencies should be rectified. Ensure SWL is marked on cranes and rated loads are being lifted. Instructions or warnings should be visible to operators while they are at their control stations.
Don'ts: Dos: Dont exceed the SWL. Physical Inspection prior use. Dont leave unattended when powered up. Check limit switches. Dont lift items in a blind sector. Shift position Use appropriate hand signals as per COSWP. to bring the lift within line of sight.

Page 16

Vinyl and neoprene gloves protect your hands against toxic chemicals.

Correct PPE to be worn at all times when working with chemicals.

Always read the appropriate MSDS before working with any chemicals.

Page 17

Dos: Wear appropriate PPE Gloves, Safety Goggles, dust mask, as applicable. Ensure other crew are well clear of area when blasting.

Don'ts: Dont operate power tools without adequate knowledge. Dont forget to carry out a Risk Assessment if de-scaling within ballast tanks.

Page 18

Be careful of airborne particles as they may enter the eyes and cause damage.

Flying objects or particles cause harm when not wearing the correct eye equipment.

Page 19

Dos: Thoroughly ventilate the space before starting work. Notify the officer on watch, when planning entry. Isolate electrical power/equipment prior to work, if required.

Don'ts: Dont abuse the work permit system. Life is precious ! Dont forget to wear the correct PPE. Dont forget to monitor the atmosphere condition throughout work.

Page 20

Dos: Stow paints neatly. Store similar paint types together. Store on a shelf with bars in place, to prevent cans from falling in bad weather. Wear proper PPE.

Donts:

Dont store paint cans in a messy way. Dont leave un-open and unattended, potential fire hazard. Dont leave paints at the work place, after work store in designated area.

Page 21

Dos: Inform concerned people that work is being carried out. Post up relevant notices before starting work. Ensure all fire precautions are used where applicable. Carry out a Risk Assessment. Don'ts Dont forget to don the correct PPE applicable to the job being carried out. This will guard against the risk of burns due to steam and hot fluids. Dont forget to release pressure from pressurised systems. E.g. Drain lines under pressure. Dont forget to isolate other equipment, shut valves and blanks fitted, etc.

Use a work permit and dont depend only on your memory!!!

Page 22

Falling or flying objects are a common cause of head injuries. Also, falling or walking into hard objects can cause head injuries. These injuries include neck sprains, concussions, and skull fractures.

Dont forget to secure those tools, somebodys head maybe on the line!!

Safety Harnesses should be used in situations where it is not practicable to arrange for the work to be done from a more suitable surface, such as a fixed or temporary work platform. Use a working aloft permit - Save yourself from falling & also from hurting others.
Page 23

A safety harness should always be worn when working aloft.

Dos: Carry out Risk Assessment before work. Wear correct PPE and have supervision.

Don'ts:

Dont use Life Boats for working overboard.

Where work is being carried out overside, and there may be a risk of falling or being washed overboard, an inflatable life jacket should be provided.

You may be a very good swimmer but do not forget the water may be cold!!! Use a Work Permit & avoid getting injured.
