COURSE OVERVIEW:

Shipboard Safety Management: Procedures and Work Controls is a comprehensive program designed to operationalize the requirements of the "International Safety Management" (ISM) Code. This course examines the systematic application of "Safety Management Systems" (SMS) to prevent human error and equipment failure. It provides a structured framework for managing high-risk tasks through procedural discipline and the implementation of robust work control systems.

The scope of this training involves the mastery of "Risk Assessment" methodologies and the "Permit-to-Work" (PTW) process. Participants will explore the mechanics of "Hazard Identification" (HAZID), the utilization of the "Hierarchy of Controls," and the implementation of "Lock-Out, Tag-Out" (LOTO) procedures for machinery isolation. The program emphasizes the role of the "Designated Person Ashore" (DPA) and the "Safety Officer" in maintaining a proactive safety culture on board.

Coverage includes the management of "Enclosed Space Entry," "Hot Work" permits, and the oversight of "Concurrent Operations" (SIMOPS). The course addresses the nuances of "Non-Conformity" reporting, internal auditing, and the "Continuous Improvement" cycle (PDCA). By focusing on both administrative compliance and field execution, this course equips maritime professionals with the expertise needed to manage a zero-incident work environment on any vessel type.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

1. Explain the fundamental principles of the ISM Code and its shipboard application.
2. Develop and implement robust "Standard Operating Procedures" (SOPs).
3. Conduct comprehensive "Risk Assessments" for diverse marine operations.
4. Manage the "Permit-to-Work" (PTW) lifecycle from issue to closure.
5. Execute safe "Enclosed Space Entry" protocols and atmospheric testing.
6. Implement "Hot Work" controls in hazardous and non-hazardous areas.
7. Apply "Lock-Out, Tag-Out" (LOTO) for mechanical and electrical isolations.
8. Monitor and audit "Work Controls" for compliance with the vessel's SMS.
9. Conduct "Safety Meetings" and "Toolbox Talks" (TBT) effectively.
10. Manage "Non-Conformity" reports and execute "Corrective Actions."
11. Utilize "Root Cause Analysis" (RCA) to investigate shipboard incidents.
12. Oversee "Sub-contractor" safety and integration during repairs.
13. Lead the "Safety Committee" in fostering a zero-incident culture.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

Masters, Chief Engineers, Safety Officers, HSEQ Managers, and Technical Superintendents.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximise the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
