Useful Ideas from the Club's Ships

| Scupper Filter | Back to top ^^ |
 |
The blocking of scuppers on a ship is a nightmare. This ship has reduced that risk by fitting restrainer bars made by the crew. The device fits into the scupper hole and is ideal for use when the ship is in port (not suitable during bunkering operations). The Club recommends that these be coated in high-vis paint to reduce the risk of trip and falls. Click on the image to enlarge.

| Number of days without an incident | Back to top ^^ |
 |
This board found on a member ship updates daily with the number of days the ship has been trading without lost time due to crew injury. This particular ship has been running for 2,237 days without crew injury causing lost time, which equates to over six years!
This inexpensive initiative is good for encouraging crew to work safely and see the number rise. Target figures and awards may help improve the safety culture onboard. A simple display can be made on board, with the date and number of days updated with a dry-wipe marker. Click on the image to enlarge.

| Dust Covers - Bulk cargo operations | Back to top ^^ |
|
Loading dusty cargoes in bulk is a messy business and the ship gets covered in dust. This is not only an external problem and a hazard to those working on deck, but the dust also makes its way into the accommodation. The situation is made worse when the loading spouts are not corectly positioned and are too high as in the first picture below.
The second picture shows a ship loading grain at a terminal, where the staff there made an effort to reduce the grain dust by erecting protective covers over the hatch lids. This is a good innitiative which made a lot of difference, particularly in the accommodation. Click on an image to enlarge. |

| Emergency Steering | Back to top ^^ |
|
The instructions for engaging and operating the emergency steering onboard this ship are complemented  with a series of photos, illustrating the step by step instructions. This is a good idea which may assist those who are not so familiar with the operation. This good practice can also be incorporated into instructions for the operation of the emergency generator, fire pumps and other equipment onboard.

| Open Hatch Guard | Back to top ^^ |
|
Every ship should establish procedures to eliminate risk when any of her hatches are open. The crew onboard this Member ship have constructed a frame to fit securely over the opening of access hatches onboard in order to prevent anyone from falling through the hatch. This photo is featured in one of the 2005 edition Loss Prevention Posters.

| Maritime Security (Marsec) Level Indicator | Back to top ^^ |
 | |
This sign was situated on each deck by the central stairwell on this Member ship. Very easy to change using a chinagraph pencil, this sign indicates to everybody onboard the security level as set by TRANSEC, based on threat information obtained from the security services. This indicates good implementation of the International Ship & Port Facility Security Code (ISPS Code) onboard this ship.

| Emergency Escape Aids | Back to top ^^ |
 | |
The Emergency Escape Breathing Device (EEBD) is designed to be used to provide personnel breathing protection against a hazardous atmosphere while escaping to an area of safety. This member ship made a point of hanging a charging wolf lamp torch next to the set so that it could easily be located by someone having to use the breathing device.
