GENERAL HAZARDS FOR SHIP AND TERMINAL

4.2.2.3 Location of Designated Smoking Places
---ใช้เพื่อการศึกษาเท่านั้น---
The designated smoking places on a tanker or on shore should be
agreed in writing between the Responsible Officer and the Terminal
Representative before operations start. The Responsible Officer should
ensure that all persons on board the tanker are informed of the selected
งานห้องสมุด ศูนย์ฝกพาณิชย์นาวี
places for smoking and that suitable notices, in addition to the tanker’s
permanent notices, are posted.

Certain criteria should be met in the selection of smoking places
whenever petroleum cargoes are being handled or when ballasting into
non-gas free cargo tanks, purging with inert gas, gas freeing or tank
cleaning operations are taking place.

The criteria are:

Smoking places should be confined to locations within the
accommodation.

Smoking places should not have doors or ports that open directly onto
open decks.
Account should be taken of conditions that may suggest danger, such
as an indication of unusually high petroleum gas concentrations,
particularly in the absence of wind, and when there are operations on
adjacent tankers or on the jetty berth.
ึ
In the designated smoking places, all ports should be kept closed and
doors into passageways should be kept closed except when in use.

While the tanker is moored at the terminal, even when no operations are
in progress, smoking can only be permitted in designated smoking places
or, after there has been prior agreement in writing between the
Responsible Officer and the Terminal Representative, in any other closed
accommodation.

When stern loading/discharge connections are being used, particular
care must be taken to ensure that no smoking is allowed in any
accommodation or space, the door or ports of which open onto the deck
where the stern loading/discharge manifold is located.

4.2.2.4 Matches and Cigarette Lighters

Safety matches or fixed (car type) electrical cigarette lighters should be
provided in approved smoking locations.

All matches used on board tankers should be of the safety type. The use
of matches and cigarette lighters outside the accommodation should be
prohibited, except in places where smoking is permitted. Matches should
not be carried on the tank deck or in any other place where petroleum
gas may be present.

The use of all mechanical lighters and portable lighters with electrical
ignition sources should be prohibited on board tankers.

Disposable lighters present a significant risk as an uncontrolled ignition
source. The unprotected nature of their spark producing mechanism
allows them to be easily activated accidentally.
