There should be risk assessments and safe practices in the workplace for personnel working on ships or ships.
Adequate safety equipment
You must have safety equipment at your disposal and you must use them. They include:
* high visibility reflective clothing;
* life jackets and / or "dry suits";
* gloves;
* monkeys;
* anti-slip and antistatic footwear (usually with toe protection);
* safety helmets;
* intrinsically safe lighting or flashlight (equipment that can be used in a flammable atmosphere).
If you must enter enclosed spaces, you will need additional specialized equipment (and training on how to use it) that includes:
* personal alert alarm system (contains motion sensors and indicates when a person is unconscious);
* personal gas alarm detector (detects harmful gases);
* intrinsically safe radio / communications line;
* rescue equipment in enclosed spaces (compressed air breathing apparatus);
* safety harnesses, safety cables and location lines;
* manual and automatic resuscitation system (MARS).
When boarding from the pier, you must use the royal staircase or the provided battalion. Before using them, check that:
* the batayola or the ladder are properly rigged and fixed;
* are deployed at a safe angle and extend one meter beyond the place you are going;
* there are safety nets when passing over water;
* in case of embarking on a ro-ro ferry, you must do it through the batayola, unless the ramps for vehicles are the only means of access;
* when the ship's decks are at a lower level than the dock, access equipment must be offered from the ship. Do not try to jump on board: it could slip or fall;
* Remember that in areas affected by tides the ship may go up or down between arrival and departure, so that access may have changed (for example, being more inclined or not arriving in safe conditions). In case of doubt, ask the captain or the head of cover to insure you.
