Harley Marine Services A Full Service Marine Transportation Company September 2012 BOOM DEPLOYMENT DRILL On August 28th, Starlight Marine Services completed their annual OSPR boom deployment drill. A total of 1,200 feet of boom was deployed from the double hull petroleum barge, BERNIE BRIERE. The crew had an hour to complete the evolution, but managed to do it in a remarkable 29 minutes. The drill was completed successfully and safely and was a great lesson for the crew of the Royal Melbourne, Bernie Briere and local shoreside staff. Thank you to everyone involved, your pre-panning and implementation of the deployment should be commended. You did an amazing job throughout the entire drill. Kelly Moore CA Barge Supervisor 8
Harley Marine Services Safe, Responsible, Reliable, Efficient Safety Incentive Program September 2012 Winning Safety Tips: Tip #1 By: Kyle Uhl, Starlight Marine Services It is important to stay alert on watch while underway because the entire crew is counting on you to notice something that may potentially go wrong. Act as a lookout if needed, and be aware of all targets around the vessel. Engine room rounds are also critical. Check in with your captain regularly to ensure nothing is needed and there are no changes to your orders. We have a tendency to get complacent when everything is going smoothly. It cannot be stressed enough about the importance of staying alert and vigilant. The crew’s lives and vessel safety are at stake. Winning Article: By: Timothy Picou, Harley Marine Gulf Hand Protection-Handle With Care As we all know our hands are the most important part of our body when it comes to doing our work. We use them in everything we do, but when we use our hands we use them without thinking. Your hands have no fear, they go any place you send them to, they only act as safe as the person they belong to. So, before you use them, think about keeping them safe. Common types of hand injuries and what you can do to prevent them are listed below. Traumatic injuries--often occur from careless use of machinery or tools that we take for granted because we work with them daily, thinking it will never happen to me. But sooner or later, it could result in injury. Hands and fingers have the potential to get caught, pinched, or crushed in gears, chains, wheels, or rollers. They can easily be punctured, torn, or cut by spiked or jagged tools and edges that shear or chop. Safety prevention can include shields, gloves or safety locks. Handle knives or tools with care; keep hands, clothing and jewelry away from moving parts. Contact injuries--result from contact from solvents, acids, cleaning solutions, flammable liquids and other substances that can cause burns or injure skin. Read the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) prior to using products to see the potential hazards. Use gloves or barrier cream, and wash hands regularly. Stay away from contact with solvents, acids, cleaning agents, flammable or other solvents that can cause burns or injure tissue. Repetitive motion--injuries happen when your job requirements are repeated, rapid hand movements for long periods of time. Manufacturing, assembling, or computer work may lead to these types of injuries. Change your grip, hand position, or motion. If possible rotate tasks to give your hands a rest. There are some basic safety precautions you can take to protect your hands. • Recognize hazards • Think through each job before you begin • Follow safety rules • Avoid shortcuts If an accident or injury does happen, seek prompt treatment and notify the Harley Marine Hotline and your immediate supervisor. 9
