70 RECOMMENDATIONS strict compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions and national requirements in order to ensure that such equipment remains in a safe condition. This is particularly relevant in the case of explosionproof lights where incorrect closing after changing a light bulb could compromise the integrity of the light. To assist with routine servicing and repair, tankers should be provided with detailed maintenance procedures and/or manuals for the specific systems and arrangements fitted onboard. Insulation testing should be carried out on a regular basis (every three years) to ensure all equipment is properly insulated and grounded. The test should be confirmed by a certificate. This should only be done when no flammable gas mixture is present.

ACTIONS Technical and Management All electrical equipment must be regularly inspected and well maintained. Only electrical equipment approved by the classification society may be installed in the dangerous area. Naked lights must be prohibited on deck and other places where flammable gas could be present. All portable equipment such as but not limited to torches, cameras, radios, calculators, laptops, mobile phones of non-approved typed must not be active, switched on or used within hazardous areas. All portable equipment used on deck must be of a safe type, approved by a competent authority, because of the possibility of spark formation. All other electrical (fixed) equipment such as deck lights and cargo pumps, should be earthed. Onboard barges, the connection is made to the main metallic structure of the vessel, which is earthed because of the conductivity of the river. All external doors, portholes and windows in the accommodation, stores and machinery spaces should be closed during cargo operations to prevent the entry of gases. This requirement does not prevent reasonable access to these spaces, but doors should not be left open unattended. Engine room vents may be left open. Prior to any cargo operation, a safety checklist should be used to eliminate and potential ignition sources. Safety instructions should be implemented and displayed onboard for all crewmembers in order to manage the risk of fire and explosion due to ignition sources.
Institutional and Capacity Building Safety regulations should be implemented and controlled by the authorities. VESSELS 71 Vessel construction should be monitored by authorities or a classification society to ensure compliance with safety regulations. Training on handling dangerous cargoes should give special attention to making the crew aware of the risk of fire and explosion due to ignition sources in hazardous areas. 3.3.2 Operations and Procedures 3.3.2.1 Safe Working Procedures (SWP) Target group: All barges RECOMMENDATION Member Countries should ensure that vessel operators develop safe working procedures for critical operations onboard. Challenge Safe working procedures (SWP) have not been developed for critical operations onboard vessels. Most of the barges carrying dangerous goods do not use such procedures for the various operations and activities that have to be carried out onboard. Safe working procedures are very important for loading/discharging, bunkering, tank cleaning, mooring, entering enclosed spaces and executing hot work. If safe working procedures are not in place, not used or not followed, the consequences might be the use of wrong PPE, wrong sequencing of activities, wrong or no action, underestimation, wrong or no emergency procedures and response, and an increased risk of personal injuries, property damage, pollution and fire or explosion depending on the kind of activity or operation that has to be carried out. References • Maritime and Coastguard Agency (Executive Agency of the Department for Transport UK): Code of Safe Working Practices for Merchant Seamen. ACTIONS Technical and Management Safe working procedures should be adopted for all important activities and operations that have to be carried out onboard. Information should be readily available and fully understood by all crewmembers. The operator of the barge should implement the use of safe working procedures onboard for all main activities and operations to ensure the safest possible execution of different tasks. Institutional and Capacity Building The authorities could implement the use of safe working procedures as part of a Safety Management System. The crew should be aware of the importance of using Safe Working Procedures and should be trained onboard.
