6.5 Energy and water supply

The tapping of energy (gas, oxygen, compressed air, electricity) is only permitted upon consultation of the object engineer/coordinator first.

Required connections to energy outlets depend on the existing infrastructure and only plants/equipment that comply with regulations shall be connected. The energy consumption will be read off meters, if available.

Electric energy, technical gases and tap water are provided in the usual form depending on the existing supply systems as far as directly required for the execution of the work. The partner company and its subcontractors have to make sure that energy is consumed economically. The provision of energy outside normal working hours is subject to the approval of the object engineer/coordinator. Costs will be invoiced in compliance with the prevailing scale of charges.

If Blohm+Voss B.V. & Co. KG, for reasons of force majeure or other circumstances which cannot be avoided or changed by reasonable measures, is not able to distribute or supply energy as agreed, the obligation of Blohm+Voss B.V. & Co. KG is suspended until the reasons or the trouble and their effects have been eliminated. Price reductions and or claims for damages as a result of energy failures are excluded.

The partner company and its subcontractors shall inspect the quality and characteristics of the media, the location and the scope of the connections as well as the standard of the energy distribution facilities before claiming the media. Questions need to be discussed with the responsible object engineer/coordinator, and the persons tapping the energy need to be informed on the correct use. The equipment such as hoses, fittings and technical gases need to be rented from Blohm+Voss B.V. & Co. KG and shall be kept in excellent condition. Repairs shall be made by Blohm+Voss B.V. & Co. KG only. Own equipment must not be used. During longer interruptions of work (e.g. breaks) and at the end of a working day, the hoses need to be removed from the rooms, properly stored and secured against unauthorized use.

6.5.1 Power supply

Electric energy must only be tapped via properly protected power connections. Therefore, only consumers in compliance with VDE and correct connections must be used. Connecting work or work on main switchboards must only be performed by authorized yard personnel. Costs in connection with such work shall be borne by the partner company - also for its subcontractors.

The provided power current has a voltage of 400 V / 50 Hz. Standard outlets are 63 A/32 A/16 A via CEE connections. Higher loads need to be connected directly.

The electric power supply for small machines and auxiliary lighting has a voltage of 220 V/50 Hz.

On board ship, Blohm+Voss B.V. & Co. KG provides workplace illumination and on site distribution (power current and AC distributors). The lighting equipment is the property of Blohm+Voss B.V. & Co. KG.




Isolating transformers, lamps for safety extra low voltage, explosion lighting und equipment and lamps with a special degree of protection, e.g. IP65 and higher, are not provided by Blohm+Voss B.V. & Co. KG (unless otherwise agreed with Blohm+Voss B.V. & Co. KG in writing).

The electrical equipment used by the partner company and its subcontractors has to comply with the prevailing DIN, VDE and DGUV regulations. Test documentation needs to be held available.

Cable extensions for power systems, hand-held equipment and portable lamps are not provided by Blohm+Voss B.V. & Co. KG. Cable drums shall be fully unreeled before use.

6.5.2 Acetylene and oxygen supply, flame cutting hoses and gauges

For safety reasons, the use of acetylene and oxygen bottles as well as the use of liquid gas in general is not permitted on board ship.

For cutting and welding work, Blohm+Voss B.V. & Co. KG provides and maintains a central supply system with distributor boxes (gas / oxygen units) and air distributors (trolleys). Planning is done by the partner company and its subcontractors and the object engineer/coordinator jointly.

The supply is realized through the ATEX system, i.e. the fuel gas is fed pressureless via negative pressure boxes to the distributors and acetylene is drawn in by the injection effect of the burner. This has the advantage that in the event of a damage to the burner hose the suction effect stops, the negative pressure box closes and no more gas escapes. There is no hazard as a result of a defective mixing nozzle following the failure of the injector effect.

For the use of the ATEX system, burners with special injector nozzle sets as well as gas hoses with a larger cross-section than that of gas bottle supply systems are required. The gas hoses are connected to the negative pressure boxes without gauges. For oxygen supply, no bottle pressure reducers must be used. Oxygen hoses have to be connected via intake pressure reducers.

For these reasons and to ensure that only tested and faultless tools are used, only burners, hoses and pressure reducers of Blohm+Voss B.V. & Co. KG must be used, which will be provided upon request by the object engineer/coordinator. The use will be invoiced to the partner company and its subcontractors according to the current scale of charges.

Defective units and hoses need to be replaced. Repairs must only be carried out by Blohm+Voss B.V. & Co. KG!

The partner company has to ensure that both its employees and those of its subcontractors handle the rented material with care and, for their own safety, keep it in faultless condition.

When the partner company or its subcontractors do not return hoses or tools or return them in damaged condition the partner company shall reimburse the costs for the repair or the replacement.

An inspection sticker on the burner hoses shows that the hose has been inspected. For such marking and the proper handling of autogenous welding equipment, acetylene and oxygen hoses, see Section 9 - Generally valid work instructions.

6.6 Light

Blohm+Voss B.V. & Co. KG provides lighting for spaces, walkways and rooms.

6.7 Heating and air conditioning

In the event that heating or air conditioning is required during the execution of the work and personnel of Blohm+Voss B.V. & Co. KG and of its partner companies and their subcontractors are present at the same time, heating and air conditioning will be provided and operated by Blohm+Voss B.V. & Co. KG.




6.8 Plant security

It is not permitted to bring alcohol-containing or other intoxicating beverages to the yard, consume them at the yard or to appear at the yard for work primed or intoxicated.

Smoking is permitted only at zones marked as such. Otherwise, smoking is prohibited as signposted as well as on ships and inside tanks containing hazardous substances.

6.13 Environmental protection

Our company is aware of the responsibility to the human kind and the environment.

The company undertakes not only to observe all environmental protection acts and ordinances but, in addition, is looking out for an environmentally aware handling of energy and raw material.

To us, an open, internal and external communication is the cornerstone of an efficient and effective environmental protection.

We await from our partner companies and their subcontractors that they support us in our endeavour to environmental protection and our environmental objectives, among others, by:

avoidance of waste and residues,

separation and environmentally compatible disposal of residues,

economic use of energy and resources,

correct handling of hazardous substances,

fast and regular waste disposal,

avoiding and reducing of immissions,

protection of the ground and waterbodies against contamination,

preparation of emergency measures within the scope of work for us.

6.13.1 Environmental protection regulations

The partner company and its subcontractors undertake to render the service in such a way that residues are avoided or can be exploited harmlessly and can be disposed in compliance with legal provisions.

Packing material is the property of the partner company and its subcontractors and has to be removed by them immediately from the production area and the yard and disposed at their costs.




It is possible to dispose the waste through the waste disposal contractor of Blohm+Voss B.V. & Co. KG, however, at the cost and the responsibility of the partner company.

The partner company shall be liable vis-á-vis Blohm+Voss B.V. & Co. KG for any damage resulting from any violation of the environmental protection regulations by the partner company or its subcontractors. The partner company shall indemnify Blohm+Voss B.V. & Co. KG against any claims of third parties as a result of such violation.

The partner company and its subcontractors will be informed by the object engineer/coordinator on any changes to the environmental protection regulations.

6.13.2 Hazardous waste

Unavoidable hazardous waste („Hazardous waste“ pursuant to Section 41 Sentence 2 KrW-/AbfG [Waste Avoidance, Recycling and Disposal Act], with reference to the European Waste List (mainly the decisions of the commission 2000/532/EC and 2001/118/EC), shall be reported to the waste disposal officer of Blohm+Voss B.V. & Co. KG before starting the work.

The execution and the correct keeping of records of the disposal is an inseparable part of the scope of supply of the partner company and its subcontractors.

6.13.3 Waste and residue disposal

The partner company and its subcontractors are responsible for the disposal of waste and residues. They have to make arrangements with the object engineer/coordinator for a proper disposal who then organizes the disposal and brings the providers / waste disposal companies in touch with them.

Unavoidable waste shall be collected and disposed separately.

The mixing of residues results in an elaborate subsequent separation at the residue collection hall. The costs for such subsequent separation would have to be borne by the partner company and its subcontractors. The mixing of oil residues with other substances would result in the disposal of the entire container contents as oil residues and is particularly expensive.

The partner company and its subcontractors shall collect waste and residues separately as follows:

Residues small quantities large quantities Provider

Household garbage (ship) ASP (green) with imprint "NUR Hausmüll"

Skip container - cranable (10m³ / 15m³)

2 Scope of application

These work instructions apply to:

All scaffolds erected by scaffolding companies on the repair site of the yard and at the harbour.

All employees (own employees, transferred employees and employees of outside companies) working on the scaffolds.

The measures need to be contractually agreed upon through the purchase department, demanded by the object engineers and monitored by the production managers.

Note: For terms and abbreviations see the document Terms and abbreviations in the QESH portal.

4 Procedure

In addition to the safe working procedure BA105 BU PS „Assembly work on scaffolds at the yard“, the following has to be strictly observed:

4.1 Erection of scaffolds

All scaffolds subject to the above-mentioned scope of application shall be erected only by scaffolding companies commissioned and approved by Blohm+Voss. This also applies to scaffolds to be used by outside companies commissioned by B+V.

The erection, conversion and removal as well as the modification of scaffolds must only be done by the commissioned and responsible scaffolding company.

Relevant signs in several languages (see Annex 1) have to be permanently attached by the scaffolding company.

When the assistance of scaffolders is required outside official working hours, e.g. for conversion, extension or additional anti-fall equipment after transport, the scaffolding company has to be notified in time, in exceptional cases 30 minutes in advance at the latest.

The site managers of the scaffolding companies have to support the production managers with the planning of scaffolds.

The width of the scaffold has to be at least 1 m wider at each side than required for working. The lowest platform needs to be considered with at least 1 m below the lower edge of the working area, unless the platform is only required as an access.

When the lowest platform of the scaffold is 3 m higher than the footprint of the scaffold a no-walk-on fall-breaking platform over the entire working area needs to be provided.

The distance of the fall-breaking platform must not be larger than 1.5 m. On the working side, the fall-breaking platform, which is to be provided with railings, has to be as close to the building/object as possible.

The fall-breaking platform must not be used for work, for putting down equipment or any other purpose.

Fall-breaking platforms have to be installed also below individual platforms such as deposit spaces. They have to be designed at least according to load class 4.

Scaffolds on rollers are not provided with a fall-breaking platform.




For surface scaffolds, alternatives for complete fall-breaking platforms need to checked in advance.

Access routes to the working area or the object need to be provided with flights of stairs.

Ladders are permitted only when the access ways are arranged outside the working area and when it is justified, i.e. a short time of use, a low rate of use / few transport activities. In case of doubt, a flight of stairs needs to be provided.

For scaffolds used as an escape route, flights of stairs have to be provided.

Outside ladders are permitted only for heights of less than 3 m above the footprint of a scaffold or a scaffold on rollers.

Stairs and ladders have to be arranged outside of working areas. For each section of a scaffold, the surface load extending over all platforms must not exceed 300 kg/m² (see Annex 3 showing an example). Permissible point-loads need to be discussed with the scaffolding company.

4.2 Releasing of scaffolds

Scaffolds not completed or closed off need to be provided with a sign (see Annex 2).

When the scaffold has been completely assembled the scaffolder arranges an inspection of the scaffold by a qualified person.

The result of the inspection is documented on a release/inspection card (see Annex 4) to be displayed at the scaffold in the plastic cover. An acceptance of the scaffold by the user in writing will not take place.

The contact data of the scaffolder need to be noted on the inspection card.

The scaffolding is to be checked daily by the scaffolder as contractually agreed. The expert of the scaffolding company documents the inspection with date and signature on the release card (Annex 4). The scaffolder has to inspect the completeness and condition of the components of the scaffold as well as the stability.

Load class 4 scaffolds are marked and released using a GREEN card indicating the load class and the permitted surface load of 300 kg/m² (see Annex 4).

When scaffolds, in exceptional cases and due to its design, can only bear a reduced load (e.g. scaffolds on rollers, suspended scaffolds, truss-out scaffolds, etc.) an ORANGE card is issued (Annex 4). Such scaffolds have a surface load restricted to 200 kg/m² according to load class 3.

When for special applications (transports, deposit spaces, crane deposit spaces) and for individual cases a higher, permitted surface load has been agreed with the scaffolding company the scaffolding company approves this space with the higher load class on the green inspection card.

When scaffold platforms are used by third parties, e.g. by crews for transport, the maximum permissible individual load and the permitted surface load need to be permanently marked in way of the scaffold.

For scaffold structures deviating from the recognized rules of scaffold construction, the scaffolding company has to hand over a stability calculation to the project manager before releasing the scaffold structure. This calculation shall be part of the project file.

4.3 Working with and on scaffolds

The precautions and behaviour regulations as explained in the safe working procedure BA105 BU PS „Assembly work on scaffolds at the yard “ shall be strictly observed.

Scaffold components must only be handled by scaffolders.




The independent changing, converting, extending or removing of scaffolds and constructing something with scaffold material, even the smallest platform trestles, is prohibited!

Scaffolders, production managers and any employee have to advise any person not complying with these regulations and report them, if necessary.

Scaffold material, frames, scaffolds on rollers, protective roofs and any other scaffold structures shall only be transported by scaffolders.

Scaffolds at propellers and rudders (propeller trestles) must only be moved by scaffolders.
