Responsibility for Maintenance

Overall responsibility lies with the Master;

However, the Chief Officer is designated as the Safety Officer onboard and he is to be assisted by the Second Engineer;

Actual inspection and maintenance work may be delegated to Junior Officers and Ratings, provided they are competent to carry it out.

Page 9: 1 CBT 4 - Safety Equipment - Maintenance & Records & Safety Record Folder

9

Responsibility for Maintenance

Duties must only be delegated if the Master & Chief Officer consider the Junior Officer and/or Rating proficient;

If required, training must be given to any person(s) delegated to carry out maintenance work;

However, under all circumstances, the responsibility lies with the Chief Officer and ultimately, the Master.

Page 10: 1 CBT 4 - Safety Equipment - Maintenance & Records & Safety Record Folder

10

Maker’s Instructions

Must be available for all safety equipment onboard the ship;

MUST always be referred to when scheduling maintenance and inspection;

If appropriate, can be kept in the relevant section of the SRF for easy reference;

Maker’s instructions and guidance must be complied with at all times.

Page 11: 1 CBT 4 - Safety Equipment - Maintenance & Records & Safety Record Folder

11

Safety of Personnel

Crewmembers carrying out maintenance & inspection of safety equipment MUST always follow laid down safety procedures to prevent accidents or injury;

Adhere to check lists where requiredand carry out a risk assessment;

Communication is important, as always;

Equipment must be isolated (if required) and warning notices posted;

When working outside the accommodation, etc assess the weather conditions and always use PPE and additional safety harness & working life vest; &

Verify that task is clearly understood by personnel and can be carried out

Page 12: 1 CBT 4 - Safety Equipment - Maintenance & Records & Safety Record Folder

State of Readiness

Information given on maintenance & inspection is for guidance only;

YOUYOU must determine the level of maintenance required in order to keep the equipment in a constant state of readiness.

Page 13: 1 CBT 4 - Safety Equipment - Maintenance & Records & Safety Record Folder

13

do not “OVER” inspect

It is NOTNOT a requirement that every piece of equipment listed in the SRF is inspected every week;

This leads to “over” inspection and it becomes a verification that the equipment is in place;

Such practices DO NOTDO NOT allow sufficient time for thorough maintenance and inspection of the equipment.

Page 14: 1 CBT 4 - Safety Equipment - Maintenance & Records & Safety Record Folder

14

do not “OVER” inspect

Many people believe it is the records that we must maintain;

This is NOT NOT true, records will NOTNOT save your life!!!;

SOLAS II-2, Reg 21 & SOLAS III, Reg 20 give clear information regarding the frequency of inspections and readiness for use of all fire fighting and life saving appliances;

Plan your inspections and maintenance to meet the stated requirements and ensure that all safety equipment is well maintained - take your time and do the job properly.
