What is the meaning of HEALTH ?

The freedom from physical disease or pain. (Mirriam Webster)

The condition of being safe from undergoing or causing

hurt, injury or loss. (Britannica 2002)

It is freedom from danger or risk of injury. ( Collins Concise

Dictionary)
To prevent loss of life.
To prevent the occurrence of accidents and incidents
involving
injury to people or damage to ship, cargo, equipment
and the

19

Shipping companies should commit to the

protection from accidental loss to its
personnel, ships, cargo and other property
and the environment.

In fulfilling this commitment, they have to

provide and maintain a safe and healthy
working environment, in compliance with
regulatory requirements and as indicated
by industry standards.

At sea 16th March 2008

On 10 March 2008 Catering Boy was cleaning floors in

the accommodation. For this purpose he mixed a
cleaning agent containing Natrium hypochlorite solution
with hydrochloric acid, causing chemical fumes to form.

During the night from 10th to 11th March, the eyes of

catering boy started to itch and turned out to be red in
the morning.

Later on the 11th March he reported to the 2nd Officer,

who gave him Terramycin N eye ointment for treatment.

46

On 12th March catering boy reported the incident to the

master who ordered to flush his eyes with water, to
apply wet eye pads and continue the treatment with
Terramycin N.

Upon arrival in Dublin, being the next port, on 17th

March 2008 he will see a doctor.

On investigation by the Master what happened, he

discovered the erroneous mixing of the cleaning agents.

The text on the plastic bottles holding the cleaning

agents and the hydrochloric acid turned out to be in
Dutch only. (as both products were of Dutch makers)
47

Incident with cleaning agents

On the holder of the cleaning agent a clear warning was [placed

(in Dutch) never to mix it with any other cleaning liquid.
Needless to say that mixing it with hydrochloric acid was
extremely dangerous.
On questioning the catering boy he turned out not to be aware
of that and he also was not aware of what hydrochloric acid
really is and of the dangers of it.
The catering boy did not wear rubber of plastic chemical
resistant gloves and eye protection when he handled the
hydrochloric acid

 Hazard/s, Danger and Accident are dependent of

each other.
By eliminating the source, accident can be
prevented.
Hazard is the source, therefore if one eliminates
hazard/s, a SAFE CONDITION is achieved.

61

In some instance, not all hazards can be

eliminated, but can be controlled.
For example:
In a tanker vessel loaded with cargo, the
cargo is a hazard itself, we apply measures
to this cargo by introducing inert gas in the
tank to prevent fire or explosion.

62

DEVELOPING COUNTERMEASURES

What can be done to address these risks?

develop a list of countermeasures that can be used to prevent

or reduce the consequences associated with the hazards
or potential accidents.

Effective countermeasures are those that break the causal chain prior
to the accident occurring.

HOT WORK PERMIT

71

Cold work is work which cannot create a source of ignition.

That means that cold work relates to any work in hazardous or
dangerous area which will not involve generation of
temperature condition likely to be of sufficient intensity to
cause ignition of combustible gases, vapors or liquid within of
adjacent to the area involved.
Examples:
Blanking / de-blanking
Disconnecting / connecting pipe
Spray painting
Brush / Roller painting or priming
Other chemical applications

73

Working aloft is defined as any work above normal reach and

where personnel are faced with risk or falling more than 2
meters. Typical areas are the superstructure, funnel, masts,
tanks. Engine room and the ships side using a stage, bosuns
chair, Jacobs ladder or lifting up personnel with the safety
harness in for example pump room or engine room emergency
escape.
Falling when performing work aloft can cause serious accidents. If
proper safety precautions are taken, such work can be performed
without accidents.

A. DEFINING THE PROBLEM

What areas will this risk assessment evaluate?

define the scope of your assessment ( in the time youve set aside)

1. QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF

Do you have to look at every aspect of your operation?
Do you want to know where to get started in putting your
greatest effort and resources in managing environmental
or safety issues?

105

B. IDENTIFYING HAZARDS AND

POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS
- get into more specific aspects of the assessment
1. QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF
What can go wrong?
Develop a list of hazards and related accidents that could occur

Do not limit yourself to only those accidents that have historically occurr

106

C. ASSIGNING FREQUENCY / LIKELIHOOD

How often will it happen?

rate the likelihood of the hazard leading to an accident.

Decide how frequently each of the hazards and undesirable events listed
in step C could become reality and cause harm.

107

Assign a rating of

If the frequency is

REMOTE = Might occur once in a lifetime

OCCASIONAL = Might occur every five to ten years

LIKELY = Might occur every one to five years

PROBABLE = Might occur yearly

FREQUENT = Might occur more than once per year

108

D. ASSIGNING CONSEQUENCES
What is the impact ?

rate the impact of the hazard leading to an accident

1. QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF

How much damage would it cause?

109

E. DETERMINING RISK PRIORITY

Where should efforts be focused ?

determine the risk priority score for each hazard

The risk priority score, located where the two ratings intersect will
fall into one of the following four general groups:
