Chemical tankers are complicated ships with demanding cargo operations. They carry many different cargo parcels on each voyage, with each different chemical representing a potential threat to personal safety. This video emphasises that the most important defence against personal injury is to keep to the established procedures of all operations.
The video is divided into seven detailed sections:
- Preparing for Cargo Operations
- Loading Operations
- Discharging and Cleaning
- The Engineering Department
- Confined Space Entry
- Further Hazards
- Managing Chemical Tankers
In addition, the programme features case studies of real incidents demonstrating what occurs when proper procedures are disregarded.
Cargos can be toxic, asphyxiating, corrosive and flammable. This programme establishes the importance of everyone knowing the hazards presented by every cargo parcel and the personal protective equipment required. The video concludes by emphasising the two main defences against personal injury - knowing the ship and keeping to the proper procedures.
This training package comprises a video or DVD and work booklet. It is also availabe in CBT format.
This programme is is the latest in the Personal Safety On Board Ship series. Further information about this series can be downloaded below.
