The customer responsibilities for activities that take place in Sea Launch
facilities and on Sea Launch vessels are:
• Coordinate all customer activities with Sea Launch operations
and safety functions.
• Identify all hazardous spacecraft processing operations anticipated
in Sea Launch facilities and vessels.
• Develop customer- and spacecraft-unique procedures.
• Train personnel.
• Provide and maintain all unique personnel protection equipment
required to support spacecraft operations independent of or in addition
to normal facility and vessel operations.
• Ensure that requested Sea Launch−provided personnel protective
equipment and services are identified in the applicable interface
requirements document and spacecraft campaign document.
• Provide a safety contact within the processing team who will be
part of the safety organization at Home Port and on board the vessels.
Sea Launch will monitor safety during customer highly hazardous operations
in the Sea Launch facility.
