26 RECOMMENDATIONS Institutional and Capacity Building Relevant line agencies should conduct inspections to determine if terminals or ports have adequate fire and gas-detection equipment Personnel responsible for the fire-detection equipment should be competent and familiar with the specific equipment installed. All terminal personnel should be trained and able to recognise the fire alarm signal. Maintenance and testing should be done by a competent person. 2.3.2.6 Electrical Equipment RECOMMENDATION Member Countries should determine minimum standards for electrical equipment (fixed and portable) used at ports and terminals. Challenge Electrical installations and equipment are often not suitable for industrial operations. Only one terminal included in the risk register noted the use of hazardous zones. At smaller ports, where basic small-scale fuel-transfer operations are carried out some hazardous electrical connections were established. Some vessels moored at terminals have naked lights on deck. The National Working Groups did not have the specific knowledge and equipment available to determine if all electrical installations are according to standards so this recommendation has been included. In normal use, electrical equipment often creates tiny internal sparks in switches, motor brushes, connectors and other places. Such sparks can ignite flammable substances present in the air. An intrinsically safe device is designed to contain no components that produce sparks or which can hold enough energy to produce a spark of sufficient energy to cause an ignition. The integrity of the protection afforded by the design of explosion-proof or intrinsically-safe electrical equipment may be compromised by incorrect maintenance procedures.

At a terminal, the probability of a flammable gas mixture being present is taken into account by grading hazardous areas into three zones. The International Electrotechnical Commission 3 classifies hazardous areas into zones based upon the frequency of the occurrence and duration of an explosive gas atmosphere as follows:
ACTIONS Technical and Management (continued) • Zone 0: • Zone 1: • Zone 2: PORTS AND TERMINALS 27 Area in which an explosive gas-air mixture is continuously present for long periods. Area in which an explosive gas-air mixture is likely to occur for short periods in normal operation. Combustible or conductive dusts are present. Area in which an explosive gas-air mixture is not likely to occur and will only exist for a very short time if it occurs due to abnormal conditions (typically as a result of a process fault condition). Terminals should ensure that any electrical equipment is provided in accordance with a site-specific area electrical drawing, which shows hazardous zones at the cargo transfer areas in plan and elevation. Terminals should identify the zones and establish the type of equipment that is to be installed within each zone. National legislation, international standards and company-specific guidelines, where available, are all to be complied with. All portable electrical equipment for operation in hazardous areas, including lamps and communications equipment, must be of an approved type for use in flammable atmospheres. Before use, portable equipment should be examined for possible defects such as damaged insulation and a check made that cables are securely attached and that they will remain so throughout the work. Special care should be taken to prevent any mechanical damage to flexible cables or wandering leads. Any other electrical or electronic equipment of a non-approved type, whether mains or battery powered, must not be active, switched on or used within hazardous areas. This includes, but should not be limited to, radios, calculators, photographic equipment, laptop computers, handheld computers and any other portable equipment that is electrically powered but not approved for operation in hazardous areas. A planned maintenance system should be implemented addressing the continued integrity of the equipment installed, and ensure it remains able to meet zone requirements. A permit to work system should be developed so all electrical maintenance is carried out under the control of this system. Institutional and Capacity Building Personnel carrying out maintenance on equipment within hazardous zones should be trained and certified as competent to carry out the work.
