90 RECOMMENDATIONS ensure a safe workplace for the crewmembers and protect the safety and well being of the public and the environment. References • Guidelines for the Control of Drugs and Alcohol Onboard Ship (OCIMF). ACTIONS Technical and Management Crewmembers should be subject to testing and screening for drugs and alcohol abuse by means of unannounced testing and routine medical examinations. The frequency of these tests should be sufficient as to serve as an effective deterrent to such abuse. The issue of alcohol onboard should be carefully controlled under the guidelines set out in the company’s policy and should be monitored by the master. The shipping companies should have a clearly written policy on drug and alcohol abuse that is easily understood by all crewmembers. Drug and alcohol policies should be clearly communicated to all personnel. To enforce their policy, companies should have rules of conduct and controls in place. The company policy should provide for control of onboard alcohol distribution and monitoring of consumption. This policy should support the principle that crewmembers should not be impaired by alcohol when performing scheduled duties. Institutional and Capacity Building The authorities should check on the presence of a company policy on drug and alcohol use. When an accident or near miss happens, personnel involved should be checked on alcohol or drug use. The maximum allowable blood alcohol content should be agreed and put in legislation. Information should be provided to crewmembers on alcohol consumption in relation to impairment and its impact on behaviour and health. 3.3.4.3 Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE) RECOMMENDATION Member Countries should ensure that vessel operators provide relevant PPE of an approved type to all crewmembers. Challenge PPE comprises a range of clothing and equipment which is worn by crewmembers to protect or shield their bodies from workplace hazards. During the Risk Analysis it was determined that in some cases PPE was not provided or was not in a good working condition. PPE is a common name for respiratory protection, eye protection, gloves, special working clothes (such as protective clothing, thermal suits), ear protectors, safety shoes or rubber boots (steel-capped), safety helmets, protection against falls: lifelines, harnesses and lifejackets. The equipment should be used to protect the crewmembers from a risk that may threaten the safety of their health when working onboard. Crewmembers should also be reminded that the provision of personal protective equipment does not mean that they can lower their own safety standards. The equipment does not eliminate hazards and gives only limited protection in the case of accidents. Depending on the work to be carried out, special PPE must be provided. On tanker barges when cargo operations are in progress, a lot of information,
VESSELS 91 including the kind of PPE to be used, can be found on the Material Safety Data Sheet of the cargo handled. If possible, signs must be placed where it is necessary to use PPE onboard the barge stating what kind – and possibly what type – of protective equipment to use. References • International Labour Organization: Accident prevention on board ship at sea and in port. ACTIONS Technical and Management The effectiveness of personal protective equipment depends not only on its design but also on its maintenance. It should be kept in good condition and be stored in a designated place onboard. Such items should be inspected at regular intervals. The manufacturer's instructions should be kept and consulted for use and maintenance purposes. The Material Safety Data Sheet of the cargo onboard must be available as this provides the crew with the necessary information of the PPE to be used. Shipowners should ensure that seafarers are supplied with suitable personal protective equipment, particularly when engaged in work involving a particular hazard which can be reduced by the provision of personal protective equipment. Institutional and Capacity Building PPE should be of a type and standard as approved by the appropriate authority. A wide variety of equipment is available and it is essential that no items are ordered, or received onboard, unless they are suitable for the task for which they are required. All crewmembers should be trained in the use of personal protective equipment and advised of its limitations. Persons using such items should check them each time before use. 3.3.5 Documentation 3.3.5.1 Packaged Dangerous Goods Target group: Cargo barges RECOMMENDATION Member Countries should determine minimum documentation standards for inland transport of dangerous goods. Challenge The Risk Analysis found that documentation and segregation of packaged dangerous goods transported and stored along the Mekong River is often insufficient. In 1996, the IMO estimated that between 10-15 percent of cargoes transported by water are dangerous goods in packaged form including shipborne barges on barge-carrying ships, freight containers, bulk packaging, portable tanks, tankcontainers, road tankers, swap-bodies, vehicles, trailers, immediate bulk containers (IBCs), unit loads and other cargo transport units. In 2000, the editor of Hazardous Cargo Bulletin estimated that the percentage may be higher in some ports, countries and regions. Apart from tanker barges carrying dangerous goods in bulk, a lot of dangerous goods are carried in containers or as general cargo. From the risk analysis. it was observed that a number of barges do
