CORRIDOR <strong>10</strong> - a sustainable way of integrations<br />
welding, crane operation and material handling. OSHA [6] has been insisting on mandatory training for<br />
safer working environments, with regards to the following:<br />
provision of adequate worker training;<br />
use of proper personnel protective equipment;<br />
obedience to fire protection measures; and<br />
arrangements for appropriate emergency action teams such as firefighting, rescue, first aid,<br />
pollution prevention and other services.<br />
The combustible wastes obtained from scrapped vessels are regarded as an alternative fuel, and can<br />
be used as a fuel by proper gasification or incineration with proper pollution protective measures. The<br />
energy obtained can be used for power generation.<br />
2. DISMANTLING STAGES<br />
Decommissioning for disposal is a step by step process (illustrated in Scheme 1):<br />
Decommissioning and sale<br />
Inventory of onboard<br />
hazardous/ polluting wastes<br />
• (Removal/ cleaning – liquids,<br />
including fuels and oils)<br />
• Securing<br />
(Removal of equipment)<br />
The dismantling process<br />
(Inventory of onboard<br />

Basic rules and labor safety and occupational health during dismantling of vessels<br />
Shipbreaking is one of the most hazardous activities of shipping industry. This is due to the structural<br />
complexity of the ships and due to the possible exposures to asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls<br />
(PCBs), lead, hazardous materials and chemicals, as well as excess noise and fire and explosions. A<br />
report prepared by the U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration for a<br />
national program on reduction of workplace hazards for shipbreaking operations, hazardous activities<br />
related to shipbreaking are listed as follows [6]:<br />
Entry into confined, enclosed and other dangerous atmospheres<br />
Paint removal<br />
Metal cutting and disposing<br />
Powered industrial truck operations<br />
Working on elevated surfaces<br />
Bilge and ballast water removal<br />
Oil and fuel removal and tank cleaning<br />
Removal and disposal of ship’s machinery<br />
Operations involving cranes, gear, and material handling equipment<br />
Cutting and welding operations and use of compressed gas and<br />
Activities involving scaffolds, ladders and working services.<br />
