Year: 2011 Language: english Author: The Shipowners Genre: Учебное пособие Publisher: The Shipowners’ Mutual Protection and Indemnity Association Format: PDF Quality: eBook Number of pages: 35 Description: In 2007 we published a booklet highlighting the correct procedures for Enclosed Space Entry. At the time the Club was experiencing a number of claims where people had sadly lost their lives by not following procedures properly. However, today similar incidents are still taking place. At Shipowners’ we want to ensure our Members are protected from any eventuality. With this in mind and the fact that the ‘International Maritime Organisation’ has recently rolled out a number of initiatives around enclosed space entry, we have revised and updated our Enclosed Space Entry booklet. In most cases enclosed space incidents on board ships are caused by an insufficient knowledge of, or disregard for taking precautions. Studies have shown that those involved in the majority of these incidents were not suitably trained, experienced in making enclosed space entries or aware of the associated dangers. There have even been instances where suitably trained and experienced personnel have been involved in such incidents, as highlighted in Chapter 6 (Case Studies). When seeing a colleague collapsed within an enclosed space it is a natural and impulsive reaction to rush in and help. Unfortunately, this is one of the main causes of fatalities. Over 50% of workers who die in confined spaces are attempting to rescue colleagues who have found themselves in difficulty. It is essential to remember that when faced with such a serious dilemma, it is hard to think rationally. This is why it is important to prepare correctly. It cannot be overemphasised how important performing thorough risk assessments, evaluations, training and drills are in preparation for enclosed space entry
