CODE OF SAFE WORKING PRACTISES

¾The main concern is improving health and safety on board.

¾The code provides guidance for many

situations that commonly arise on board, should be read in conjunction with the

findings of the employers asessment of risks.

¾Required under company procedure under

ISM CODE.

¾ENSURE supply of any necessary

protective clothing and equipment

where risks cannot be removed by other means.

RESPONSIBILITY-seafarer

¾ Take reasonable care for their own health and

safety and that of others on board who may be affected by their acts or omissions

¾ Co-operate with anyone else carrying out health and safety duties-including compliance with

control measures identified during the employer’s

or company’s evaluation of risk

¾ REPORT any identified serious hazards or

deficiencies immediately to the appropriate

officer or other authorized person

¾ MAKE proper use of plant and machinery, and treat any hazard to health or safety (such as a

dangerous substance) with due caution

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Most Important Points!!! Always remember!!!

¾PPE’sto be used when risks cannot be avoided/reduced to acceptable level, by SWP

¾PPE does not remove the hazard It will protect only the person wearing it, not others

¾Sometimes PPE may in itself cause a hazard e.g reduced Sometimes PPE may in itself cause a hazard e.g reduced field of vision, loss of dexterity or agility etc

¾All PPE is to be regularly checked & serviced, records maintained

BSM MTCAL

GENERAL TIPS

General Safety Precautions

¾Appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn due to hazards that may be encountered while using portable power tools and hand tools

¾

¾Floors should be kept as clean and dry as possible to prevent accidental slips with or around dangerous hand tools

BSM MTCAL

Portable hand & power tools

General Safety Precautions

¾Hand tools are non-powered They include anything from axes to wrenches The greatest hazards posed by hand tools result from misuse and improper maintenance

Portable hand & power tools

General Safety Precautions

The following general precautions should be

observed by power tool users:

¾Never carry a tool by the cord or hose

¾Never yank the cord or the hose to disconnect

it from the receptacle

¾Keep cords and hoses away from heat, oil, and sharp edges

¾Disconnect tools when not in use, before

servicing, and when changing accessories.

BSM MTCAL

Portable hand & power tools

General Safety Precautions power tools

¾Secure work with clamps or a vise, freeing both hands

to operate the tool

¾Avoid accidental starting Person should not hold a finger on the switch button while carrying a plugged-in tool

¾ The proper apparel should be worn

¾All portable electric tools that are damaged shall be removed from use and tagged

"Do Not Use."

Portable hand & power tools

Power tool attachments

¾ A variety of accessories are available for use on or with power tools

¾ Caution must be exercised when selecting and using any accessory with any power tool

¾ Choosing the wrong accessory or using an accessory incorrectly can result in serious

¾ Powered abrasive grinding, cutting, polishing, and wire buffing wheels create special safety problems because they may throw off flying fragments

BSM MTCAL

Portable hand & power tools

Power tool attachments

¾Before an abrasive wheel is mounted, it should

be inspected closely and sound- or ring-tested to

be sure that it is free from cracks or defects

¾To test, wheels should be tapped gently with a light non-metallic instrument If they sound

cracked or dead, they could fly apart in operation and so must not be used A sound and undamaged wheel will give a clear metallic tone or "ring."

Powered abrasive tools

¾ To prevent the wheel from cracking, the user should be sure it fits freely on the spindle

¾ The spindle nut must be tightened enough to hold the wheel in place, without distorting the flange

¾ Follow the manufacturer's recommendations Care must be taken to assure that the spindle wheel will not exceed the abrasive wheel specifications

¾ Due to the possibility of a wheel disintegrating

(exploding) during start-up, the employee should never stand directly in front of the wheel as it accelerates to full operating speed

BSM MTCAL

Powered abrasive tools

¾ Portable grinding tools need to be equipped with safety guards to protect personnel not only from the moving wheel surface, but also from flying fragments in case of breakage.

¾In addition, when using a powered grinder

z Always use eye protection

z Turn off the power when not in use

z Never clamp a hand-held grinder in a vise

Powered abrasive tools

Failure to Ring Test

• Failure to ring test could result in a disintegrating wheel

• This could lead to serious injury or death

Spindle guard removed for better viewing

BSM MTCAL

GOOD PRACTISE

¾ Grinder has both

safety guards in place

¾ Area is clean and

¾Area is dirty, untidy

and poorly lit

¾No obvious emergency stop button

BSM MTCAL

Portable hand & power tools

Hand tools misuse

¾The greatest hazards posed by hand tools result from misuse and improper maintenance

¾Some examples:

z Using a screwdriver as a chisel

z If a wooden handle on a tool such as a hammer or an axe

is loose, splintered, or cracked, the head of the tool may fly off and strike the user or another worker

z A wrench must not be used if its jaws are sprung,

because it might slip

z Impact tools such as chisels, wedges, or drift pins are unsafe if they have mushroomed heads

Portable hand & power tools

Hand tools misuse

- Around flammable substances, sparks produced by iron and steel hand tools can

be a dangerous ignition source Where this hazard exists, spark-resistant tools made from brass, plastic, aluminum, or wood will provide for safety

BSM MTCAL

Portable hand & power tools

Spark resistant tools

¾"Non-sparking", "spark-resistant" or "spark-proof" tools are names given to tools made of metals such as brass, bronze, Monelmetal (copper-nickel alloy), copper-aluminum alloys (aluminum bronze), and titanium

¾Preferred "non-sparking" metals have less tensile strength than steels usually used to make tools

¾These tools are softer, wear down more quickly than ordinary steel tools, and have to be dressed more frequently

Non sparking tools

BSM MTCAL

Power tools hazards

All hazards involved in the use of power tools can be prevented by following five basic safety rules:

z Keep all tools in good condition

zUse the right tool for the job

zExamine each tool for damage before use

zOperate according to the manufacturer's instructions

zProvide and use the proper protective

equipment
