SAFETY MANAGEMENT



                               4. Countermeasures against accidental personal contact with the cargo have
                                  been agreed.

                                  Sufficient and suitable means should be available to neutralise the effects and
                                  remove small quantities of spilled products. Should unforeseen personal contact
                                  occur, in order to limit the consequences it is important that sufficient and
                               5. The cargo handling rate is compatible with the automatic shutdown system,์นาวี
                                  suitable countermeasures are undertaken.
                                  The MSDS should contain information on how to handle such contact with
                                  reference to the special properties of the cargo, and personnel should be aware
                                  of the procedures to follow.

                                  A suitable safety shower and eye rinsing equipment should be fitted and ready
               งานห้องสมุด ศูนย์ฝกพาณิชย
                                  for instant use in the immediate vicinity of places on board or ashore where
                                  operations regularly take place.


                                  if in use.
                                  Automatic shutdown valves may be fitted on the ship and ashore. The action of
                                  these is automatically initiated by, for example, a certain level being reached in
                                  the ship or shore tank being filled. Where such systems are used, the cargo
                                  handling rate should be established to prevent pressure surges from the
                                  automatic closure of valves causing damage to ship or shore line systems.
                                  Alternative means, such as a re-circulation system and buffer tanks, may be
                                  fitted to relieve the pressure surge created.
                                                                          ึ
                                  A written agreement should be made between the Responsible Officer and
                                  Terminal Representative indicating whether the cargo handling rate will be
                                  adjusted or alternative systems will be used.

                               6. Cargo system gauges and alarms are correctly set and in good order.
                                  Ship and shore cargo system gauges and alarms should be checked regularly
                                  to ensure they are in good working order.

                                  In cases where it is possible to set alarms to different levels, the alarm should
                                  be set to the required level.

                               7. Portable vapour detection instruments are readily available for the products
                                  being handled.
                                  The equipment provided should be capable of measuring, where appropriate,
                                  flammable and/or toxic levels.

                                  Suitable equipment should be available for operational testing of those
                                  instruments capable of measuring flammability. Operational testing should be
                                  carried out before using the equipment. Calibration should be carried out in
                                  accordance with the Safety Management System.

                               8. Information on fire-fighting media and procedures has been exchanged.
                                  Information should be exchanged on the availability of fire-fighting equipment
                                  and the procedures to be followed in the event of a fire on board or ashore.
                                  Special attention should be given to any products that are being handled which
                                  may be water reactive or which require specialised fire-fighting procedures.

                               9. Transfer hoses are of suitable material, resistant to the action of the products
                                  being handled.
                                  Each transfer hose should be indelibly marked so as to allow the identification of
                                  the products for which it is suitable, its specified maximum working pressure, the
                                  test pressure and last date of testing at this pressure, and, if used at
                                  temperatures other than ambient, its maximum and minimum service
                                  temperatures.
