76 RECOMMENDATIONS 3.3.2.4 Hot Work Target group: Tanker barges RECOMMENDATION Member Countries should ensure that safety measures are implemented and a competent authority is informed prior to carrying out hot work operations in port. Challenge Hot work refers to operations where heat and/or sparks may be produced and is not limited to welding and gas-cutting operations. It also includes operations such as grinding and abrasive cutting. Hot work presents two specific hazards: • open flames or flying sparks that are able to ignite any flammable gases (most important hazard); and • the hot work itself may produce toxic fumes and gases. There have been a number of fires and explosions due to hot work in, on, or near cargo tanks or other spaces that contain, or have previously contained, flammable substances or substances that emit flammable vapours. Hot work should therefore be performed only under strict controls and these should be incorporated in hot work procedures. Controls can include the completion of a Hot Work Permit and associated risk controls. Precautions before executing any hot work are extensive and depend on the area or place where the hot work is planned. References • ISGINTT, Chapter 4 and 9; and • Australian Marine Safety Agency Marine Notice 20/2010. ACTIONS Technical and Management Before any hot work is executed, it is necessary to identify and, where needed, to remove flammable or explosive, vapours, liquids and materials in the vicinity of the work and related adjacent spaces. This includes flammable vapours and liquids that may be in pipework or containers (such as drums). It might be necessary to isolate and protect plant equipment in the area that may be affected by hot work and give rise to additional risks. The atmosphere should be tested in the vicinity of hot work or related adjacent spaces for the presence of gases, flammable gases and vapours. The appropriate clothing, PPE, suitable tools, equipment and materials should be used. Firefighting equipment should be provided in the vicinity of the work and in related adjacent spaces. Masters and operators of ships should have an effective hot work procedure in place and ensure that it is complied with including the use of a Hot Work Permit.
Institutional and Capacity Building Source: IACS Rec.No.72 VESSELS 77 When a vessel is in port, there may be a requirement to inform the port authority where and when the hot work is carried out. The ship’s crew should be made aware of the dangers when executing hot work. This should be incorporated in courses on handling dangerous goods. Hot work should be only undertaken by people who have had relevant training and who are deemed competent for undertaking hot work. 3.3.2.5 Enclosed/Confined Spaces Target group: All barges RECOMMENDATION Member Countries should ensure that safety measures are implemented onboard prior to entering enclosed/confined spaces. Challenge Enclosed or confined spaces are considered a very high priority area. An enclosed or confined space is every space onboard that allows entry and exit via limited openings, has limited or no ventilation means and is not designed for worker occupancy. Enclosed spaces are normally closed completely and only entered to carry out repairs such as leaks or maintenance tasks. Examples of enclosed spaces are cargo tanks, double-bottom tanks, void spaces, cofferdams, ballast tanks and fuel tanks. Important hazards for crewmembers when entering an enclosed space can be oxygen deficiency, presence of flammable or explosive vapours and toxic vapours. Confined spaces may be subject to leakage from the adjacent space. Such leakage often remains undetected because the space is not subject to regular gas measurements and ventilation. Work in an enclosed space often causes fatalities, severe injuries and illness as people enter an enclosed space without proper supervision and adherence to agreed procedures. Attempts by crewmembers to rescue colleagues in difficulty in an enclosed space often results in additional casualties. References • ISGINTT, Chapter 10; and • IACS Rec.
