2 INTRODUCTION Safety is extremely important to the seafarer. An emergency can occur when you least expect it. A person can fall overboard, a collision, a fire, stranding or capsize can occur suddenly and without warning. Whether Master or crew, how you prepare for such an incident will directly affect your chances of survival. On joining a vessel you should become familiar with its safety equipment. Make sure that you know where to find and how to operate the various types. If you are not sure or canʼt remember how to use or operate any of the equipment, revise the instructions or ask a fellow crew member as soon as possible. When your vessel sinks beneath you it will be too late to learn. Make sure you know your duties in advance. If the master, you are also responsible for making sure your crew know their duties. There is enough chaos when an emergency arises without the crew panicking and not knowing what to do. Be sure to clearly display a muster list of crew and passengers with specific duties assigned to each crew member. If crew, make sure you know and understand your duties in the event of an emergency. Conduct regular emergency drills. Not only is it a requirement of the USL code, and Marine Orders but in doing so your crew will become an efficient emergency task force. Respect the chain of command. Remember! Know that the order to abandon ship is only given by the master. If the master has died then the order is given by the mate or second in command. Know what actions to take when in the water and when aboard survival craft. Know your enemy. Be aware of the dangers that can affect you as a survivor such as dehydration, hypothermia and sunstroke. Know how to treat them as best as possible. 7

3 PREVENTION IS THE BEST METHOD OF DEALING WITH AN EMERGENCY By maintaining your vessel well and navigating cautiously, it is possible to prevent emergencies from occurring. However, even the best maintained vessel skippered by the most cautious master can have an accident. It is not possible to forecast if and when an emergency will occur. However, it is possible to be prepared for one. PREPARATION IS THE KEY TO SURVIVAL! Ensure that you and crew know how to use all safety equipment on board your vessel. All crew should be inducted to the ship, with particular emphasis on safety procedures and equipment, as part of the vessels Safety Management System (SMS) This will be discussed later in the module. Know how to operate all safety equipment and survival craft. Be aware of survival methods. Maintain vessel and equipment in seaworthy condition, with particular attention given to safety and survival gear. A planned maintenance routine should be part of the SMS. Conduct regular drills. Carry out the above instructions and you will be best prepared to deal with any emergency that arises. 8 MLR2 Survival Firefi ghting and OH&S - Survival OTEN 2002/182

4 1. EMERGENCY AND DRILLS EMERGENCY SITUATIONS Many different types of emergencies can lead to serious damage, capsize or foundering (sinking) of your vessel The main causes are: collision stranding ( going aground) fire or explosion adverse reaction of dangerous goods shifting of cargo or cargo incorrectly loaded. It is possible to avoid such a tragedy by exercising care! A collision with another vessel can be avoided by keeping a proper lookout (look in all directions - not just ahead!). Failure to keep a proper lookout is the number one cause of collision. Also, make sure you thoroughly know and apply the collision regulations and take early avoidance action if necessary. Remember that other vessels may have quite different features to your own. If on a small vessel, do not assume that a large vessel will have seen you and also do not assume that, even if she is obliged to give way, she will be able to stop in time or manoeuvre to avoid a collision. A stranding can be avoided by navigating with caution and by keeping a regular check on your position. Remember that safety is the most important thing when planning and undertaking a voyage. A fire can be avoided by exercising good housekeeping and regulary checking the vessel, especially the engine room space. Never leave oily rags in a heap as there is a risk of spontaneous combustion. Make sure you clean up any oil or fuel spills immediately and keep a watchful eye on all gauges. Lastly, regularly check the engine room and machinery space for any damage to fuel lines, wires, exhaust lagging and anything else that might lead to a fire. If carrying dangerous goods, make sure that you are fully aware of the dangers that relate to your cargo. Information on the carriage of dangerous goods can be found in the IMO (International Maritime Organisation) IMDG (International Maritime Dangerous Goods) code. Injury or illness to the Master or other vital personnel may lead to an emergency situation if other crew have not had adequate training to handle the vessel. 9

5 FIREFIGHTING EQUIPMENT Every vessel is required to carry a certain amount of fire fighting equipment on board. The type and quantity of equipment carried will vary according to the vessel s size and survey classification. This information can be found in the USL (Uniform Shipping Laws) code. SOLAS ships must comply with Marine Orders Part 15, which brings into effect Chapter II-2 of SOLAS covering fire protection, detection and extinction. For example, a vessel in 1E survey (passenger vessel operating in sheltered waters), less than 500 tons and greater than 25m, will typically have to carry: one main fire pump one emergency pump fire fighting hose fixed fire fighting installation in the machinery space portable fire extinguishers in each space fire smothering blanket in the galley fire buckets firemanʼs axe. (A more detailed list is given in the fire section of this resource). As master of the vessel it is your duty to make sure that all equipment is kept ready for use and refilled or replaced as necessary. As crew, it is your duty to notify the master if you notice any equipment that is not as it should be. It is essential that all crew are familiar with the use and whereabouts of all equipment. Such equipment is only effective if the crew are expert at using it. 10 MLR2 Survival Firefi ghting and OH&S - Survival OTEN 2002/182

6 SURVIVAL EQUIPMENT Depending on a vessel s survey it will be required to carry a combination of survival equipment. This information can be found for state surveyed vessels in the USL code which is gradually being replaced by the National Standards for Commercial Vessels NSCV. This will be a gradual transition as parts of the NSCV are published and enacted. It is expected that the chapters covering survival and fire-fighting equipment will be implemented in NSW by mid You will need to check with local authorities in each state as to the implementation dates. For Commonwealth surveyed vessels, the requirements for lifesaving equipment is set out in SOLAS Chapter III and in the Life Saving Appliances (LSA) code. These are brought into effect by Marine Orders Part 25, which also sets out some additional or variations to those requirements for application to Australian ships. The current (mid 2005) issue of MO Pt25 is issue 4 (Amendment), published in This virtually reproduces the requirements set out in SOLAS and the LSA code. A new issue (Issue 5) of MO Pt25 is currently being drafted and is expected to be published Dec 2005/Jan This new issue will refer more directly to, and needs to be read in conjunction with, the LSA Code and SOLAS Chapter III. The USL code and NSCV can be viewed online at the website of the National Marine Safety Committee (NMSC) Marine Orders can be found at the AMSA website, liferafts lifeboats Lifepods (Survival Capsules) Marine Evacuation Systems flotation aids lifebuoys flares EPIRBs lifejackets. The effectiveness of such equipment totally depends on the expertise of the master and crew. As master, again, it is your responsibility to make sure that all equipment is kept in good order and that your crew have the necessary training and expertise to operate all the survival equipment. 11

7 SURVEY CLASSIFICATIONS OF VESSELS The firefighting and safety equipment carried on board a vessel depends on the vessel s size and survey classification. SURVEY CLASSIFICATIONS ARE: Class 1: Class 1F: Class 2: Class 3: A passenger vessel that carries more than 12 passengers Hire and drive vessel Non-passenger vessel Commercial fishing vessel AREA OF OPERATION: A: Unlimited operation B: Up to 200 miles to seaward of the coast C: Up to 30 miles to seaward of the coast D: Partially smooth waters E: Smooth waters For your reference, extracts from the USL code stating safety and firefighting equipment requirements follow. You are not expected to know these ʻinside outʼ but you should have an idea of the sort of equipment that is required to be carried on the different classifications of vessels. More importantly, you do need to know where to find this information. That is, SOLAS and the LSA Code (as enacted by Marine Orders Part 25) for Commonwealth surveyed ships and the USL Code or NSCV for State Surveyed vessels. 12 MLR2 Survival Firefi ghting and OH&S - Survival OTEN 2002/182

8 CLASS 1D 13

9 As the USL Code is gradually replaced by the NSCV, an extract from the new code is included here as a comparison. Look at the requirements under each code for a 20m Class 1E vessel a passenger vessel in smooth waters. USL Code requirements as follows Sufficient buoyant appliances, lifebuoys and/or coastal lifejackets for 115% of the total complement including at least 2 lifebuoys. Dinghy may be included. In addition, 2 lifebuoys, one with light and one with whistle Distress signals and hand torches as determined by Authority NSCV requirements Buoyant appliances, lifebuoys, dinghies or combination for 40% total complement In addition, 2 lifebuoys, one with light and one with whistle Coastal lifejackets for 100% complement 2 red hand flares and 1 hand orange smoke flare Battery operated torch for each crew member Note the differences under the new code, there must be lifejackets for all aboard, not just as a part of the buoyancy appliances. If you add the lifejackets to the buoyancy appliances in the new code, you see there is flotation for 140%, rather than 115% under the USL code. Additional lifebuoys remain unchanged, but now there are specific requirements for the number of distress flares and torches to be carried. 14 MLR2 Survival Firefi ghting and OH&S - Survival OTEN 2002/182

11 TRAINING AND DRILLS For the crew to be an efficient task force in an emergency they need practice as well as expertise. It is therefore essential that regular drills are carried out. It is also a USL requirement. Through conducting regular drills the crew can practise their actions in an emergency and have an opportunity to teach new crew. The more familiar the crew are with their duties, the less likely that there will be panic and confusion in a real emergency.in the NSCV the requirements for Emergency Planning and preparedness are covered by Part E. (What used to be referred to as emergency drills and exercises are now referred to as Emergency Preparedness Training for Crew ) Survival craft drills, crew fire drills and crew collision drills should be carried out and logged at intervals not exceeding two months for passenger vessels and three months for non passenger vessels. However, vessels with a 1A or 2A survey are required to conduct drills every month. Abandon ship and fire drill requirements for Commonwealth surveyed vessels are currently found in Marine Orders Part 25, Issue 4 section 25. This covers the requirement to provide a training manual for crew members, musters and abandon ship drills, lifeboat and liferaft launching requirements, fire drills and on board training and instruction. This section is likely to be removed in the new Issue 5 and the requirements for drills covered in Marine Orders Parts 21 Safety of Navigation and Emergency procedures, Part 28 Operations standards and procedures, and Part 58 International Safety Management Code. 16 MLR2 Survival Firefi ghting and OH&S - Survival OTEN 2002/182

17 MUSTER LIST CREWMEMBERS So that crew are aware of their duties in an emergency, a muster list allocating them to an emergency station/ survival craft and stating their duties needs to be displayed in a prominent place on board. The muster list could be divided into two sections: emergency station list survival craft list. The emergency station list assigns each crewmember to an emergency station and allocates them a duty. The survival craft list allocates crewmembers a liferaft and/or lifeboat and duty in the event of abandon ship. 22 MLR2 Survival Firefi ghting and OH&S - Survival OTEN 2002/182

22 PASSENGERS Offshore voyages A number should be given to each passenger on boarding and the numbers assigned to emergency stations and liferafts. Enclosed waters cruises Where there are many passengers and they are on board for a fairly short time, a quick, efficient way to allocate them to particular rafts is needed. This could be as simple as in order with passengers nearest liferafts being evacuated first. It is important that a crew member be assigned to organise and control the passengers and that passengers are counted as they board the liferaft or carly float. EMERGENCY SIGNALS There are three distinctive emergency alarm signals. The emergency station muster signal 7 short and 1 long blast on the ships whistle or siren. The abandon ship signal 1 short blast, 1 long blast, - at least three times in succession. Fire emergency signal Continuous sounding of bell or siren. EMERGENCY INSTRUCTION As soon as possible after joining a vessel it is important that all crew do the following: Learn the meaning of emergency signals. Locate the muster list and know the duties assigned to them. Locate all the vesselʼs lifesaving and firefighting equipment and learn how to use it. Know escape routes. 27

23 GUIDELINES FOR ONBOARD TRAINING AND DRILLS Follow the guidelines in the USL NSCV code NSCV and Marine Order part 21-section 29, when organising emergency drills. A requirement of Marine Order part 21 is that crew and passengers must have warning of an impending muster or drill. However, the details of the drill need not be announced, to preserve some sort of realism to the drill. Another requirement of Marine Order part 21 is that training sessions in survival and use of equipment must be conducted. These are not the same as emergency practice drills but the two may be combined at the same time. Common sense and Marine Order part 21 both dictate that muster lists and muster position signs must be posted, assignment given to passenger and crew, and training, musters and drills logged. As well as the guidelines given by the USL code NSCV, Appendix 5 from Marine Order part 21 is included here, to give further instruction as to the procedures to follow for drills. Obviously, not all vessels will follow all the guidelines and will tailor the procedures to their own vessel. Motivation for efficient practices and drills must come from the Master. Crew must be shown that the drills are a necessary fact of the vessels safe operation and should not be just viewed as Department of Transport Sports. Vary the times of drills, try to minimise the effect they have a crew leisure time to avoid resentment of doing them. It is important that whenever a drill is held, crew members take part wearing full protective clothing and equipment this would normally include warm clothing, including hat and footwear, lifejacket, and if required by the ships procedures, safety helmet and gloves. It is important to discourage the practice of wandering out on deck for a drill in shorts and thongs the drill should be realistic practice for an emergency. Drills should be structured to ensure that all crew members assigned to emergency teams become familiar and proficient with the equipment. Fire is the main hazard aboard a ship but drills should also include other emergency scenarios- damage control, man overboard, helicopter operation, medical evacuation, pollution control and collisions. De-briefing is important. Involve all crew after the drill to examine how improvements can be made to the vessels emergency response. Training should aim to bring together shore based learning with practical shipboard learning with practical shipboard operations. When planning the vessels emergency organisation, take the following into account: the normal chain of command individual skills/training/fitness type and size of vessel equipment on board. The emergency organisation should include a command team, an emergency team and a back up team. Small vessels with limited crew may have an overlap of some of these roles while a larger vessel may have additional teams such as a reserve team, passenger control team etc. Leadership is important, the emergency team leader needs to be seen to be in charge, keeping an overview of the situation and giving clear and concise orders. 28 MLR2 Survival Firefi ghting and OH&S - Survival OTEN 2002/182

30 ON HEARINGTHE EMERGENCY SIGNAL DON T PANIC On hearing an alarm all passengers and crew should muster at their emergency stations. Crew should not panic but remain calm and carry out actions as required. It is important to reassure passengers and keep them as calm as possible if order is to be maintained. Crew and passengers should take with them to the muster stations a lifejacket, extra clothing (such as a warm hat and jumper) and a grab bag. Crew should also bring with them an EPIRB (if carried on board), extra flares and water, and anything else assigned to them in the muster list. If you have a mobile phone you should also bring it as there is often good reception close to shore. If the vessel is operating in sheltered waters, passengers will not have a lifejacket allocated specifically to them, nor may they know where the emergency station is. Crew will have to allocate lifejackets and organise passengers as well as possible. Crew may have large numbers to control so it is vital to stay calm and act in an orderly manner. On arrival at muster stations you should first do a head count to make sure that all on board are present. If there are so many passengers that this is impossible, a head count should be done when passengers are boarding survival craft. Crew and passengers should now put on their lifejackets. Crew should check that all passengers are wearing their lifejackets correctly. It is very important that all on board are accounted for. If a person is missing then a search should be carried out. In a real emergency, the situation is likely to be confusing and stressful, with the weather likely to be unfavourable. The Master and officers need to be able to pass orders quickly and clearly to deal with the situation. When crew and passengers have been mustered, it is important that everyone remains quiet and controlled, remaining at the muster station until further orders are given. Talking should be kept to a minimum and there should be no skylarking or unnecessary noise. Try to calm and reassure anyone that is panicking, a difficult situation can arise if this panic spreads. Do not launch any survival craft until told by the master. 35
