Introduction
Sometimes health and safety at work becomes a
little too academic and involves too much paperwork. Sometimes all that is needed is a simple
solution and a short explanation to the question:
What should we do here?
This guidance gives brief answers and explanations.
It should be regarded as a basis for workplace
health and safety as it explains how to tackle the
fundamentals of risk assessments and handling
chemicals.

RISK ASSESSMENT
Risk assessment
A risk assessment is the same process as for
a workplace assessment. We prefer to use risk
assessment since that is most common used
in the maritime industry.
You are now about to tackle a job. But what is
the best way of doing it? And how can you do
it without coming to harm? The answer is: risk
assessment!
With a risk assessment, you collect and describe
the best working methods using the experience
of the job that you already have. Experience that
you are now passing on to relief crews or the new
people who join ship in future.
.BQQJOH
You can also make inspections with the safety organization and divide the ship into smaller areas and
review them for risks. The ideal method is naturally
a combination an open dialogue on the jobs you
have to do and the risks associated with them, with
everyone on board getting involved with health
and safety.

The fact that you have done a written risk assessment document means that the supervisor or
the person doing the job can consider how you
have agreed the job should be done on board.
Because everything you do is done on the basis
of an existing risk, work is done the right way and
without forgetting the safety precautions you
have chosen.
PREVENTION PRICIPLES

Prevention principles
The principles of prevention should be used to select the best form of protection against a risk,
and they are listed here in the order you should use them also as required in the legislation.

Registration means you rst need to get on overview on what products you have on board and
where. So walk around your stores with an A4
pad and jot down the products you have on the
shelves. If you do not use the product anymore,
get rid of it.
In the rst instance, note:
1) Storage locations on the ship
(e.g.: under the forecastle)
2) Trade name (e.g.: Enviromate 2000)
3) Supplier/manufacturer (e.g.: Drew).
When you have been round your storage locations,
sit down at your computer and get your list of
chemicals set up for their correct locations in
your Health and Safety at Sea program.

Generally, there are many more chemicals on
board than those actually used. Often because
some products change trade name or supplier over
time or because a product may only have been
needed once for a specic job. At other times we
stick with a product because we have always used
it but in the meantime, less hazardous, better
products have appeared on the market.
Try reviewing the points below and see whether
you can get rid of some of the chemicals or substitute them for less hazardous products.
1) Do we use this product anymore?
2) Is the product necessary or can we do without it?
3) Can the product be replaced by one that is less
hazardous?
4) Do we have another, less hazardous product that
we use for the same purpose on board?
5) Does the Health and Safety at Sea program
recommend a substitution product?
6) If you cannot see what is in the pot or container,
it should be thrown out.
7) If there is no safety data sheet for the product
or you cannot get one, throw it out.

A workplace instruction is a safety data sheet zipped
up with information specically for the ship on
how to work safely on board.
We use workplace instructions when safety data
sheets are too general, comprehensive and technical. A safety data sheet only relates to the product
regardless of whether you are using a detergent
on board or in a childrens play school.

We also have code numbers for all paints and
we are used to using the number as a quick
reference for how we should protect ourselves
when painting. In Denmark we take code numbers
for granted. But these are solely Danish numbers
which are only found on products sold in Denmark.

STORING PAINT
Storing paint
Most ships have paint on board and storing and
handling it properly is highly signicant for health
and safety.
You may remember perhaps that paint is hazardous
when you are holding a paintbrush but the dangers
get forgotten when you only have to store paint
or have to mix it or handle it in some other way.
In this section we provide suggestion on solutions
for storing and handling paint that you can use
on board. You need to decide on the health and
safety aspects of the suggested solutions and also
choose the solution that best matches the ships
maintenance requirements, tasking and routes.
Paint shop
This is where opened and unopened paint can be
stored. This workplace should have local extraction
installed so you can mix paints, clean paintbrushes
and the like.

Store room
A store room can be used to store unopened
paint. In the store room you may not keep opened
paint or mix paint and in any other way handle it
in the room.

Paint locker
If there is a shortage of space, with no possibility
of establishing a paint shop, the solution is a paint
locker for storing paint.
Paint lockers can only be used to store paint.
Paint must not be mixed or handled in any other
way. This must be done out on deck.
We describe two examples of paint lockers and
the requirements you must comply with if you opt
for one of these solutions. Solution 1 is a locker
placed on deck and solution 2 is a room in the
ship used for paint storage.
