FURTHER MEASURES TO REDUCE ACCIDENTS
IN SHIPBUILDING AND SHIP-REPAIRING INDUSTRIES
The first volume of a guide, setting out safe working practices
in the shipbuilding and ship-repairing industries has been published by the
Marine Department.
It has been prepared by a working group comprising representatives
from the Marine, Fire Services and Labour departments and shipping, ship-
building and ship-repairing companies.
The working party was set up by the Director of Marine in September last year following a number of fires and explosions in recent years on board
ships, either under construction or repair.
Volume 1 of the "Shipbuilding and Ship-repairing Safety Guide"
deals mainly with "Fires and Explosions" and "Entry into Confined Spaces".
It is intended to furnish guidance to dockyards, contractors, shipowners, ship personnel, supervisors and others responsible for setting up safe working practices in the ship-building and ship-repairing industries.
Instructions for workers indicating in simple terms what they should
or should not do are also included.
Introducing the guide today, the Acting Deputy Director of Marine, Mr. R. Blacklock, said the original intention was to publish all details about safety working practices in the industries in one full guide.
