ABOUT VIDEOTEL Who We Are Videotel provides an extensive range of maritime training materials for oil, gas and chemical tankers, dry and bulk cargo, container, refrigerated cargo, passenger and Ro-Ro ships, offshore, pilots, surveyors, port and terminal operators and much more.

We began making training products for the marine industry in 1973, at a time when major shipping companies needed to improve their onboard training and IMCO – the forerunner of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) – wanted to see high quality training materials supplied to maritime colleges, especially those in fastdeveloping countries.

Forty years later, we have a wealth of experience and expertise in delivering the very best training and adapt to constantly changing needs. The Videotel team is made up of a host of long-serving industry experts and talented professionals. Our president, William O’Neill, has a wealth of experience and multiple credentials, including being the former Secretary General of the IMO.

What We Do Videotel is the leading multimedia producer of high-quality maritime safety training software and materials serving the maritime community. As well as our award-winning programmes on board over 10,000 vessels, we have the largest portfolio of maritime Computer Based Training (CBT) materials in the world. With over 800 titles and over 100 million training hours accomplished to date, Videotel is assisting in promoting the learning of hundreds of thousands of seafarers across the globe.

Why We’re Different We take great care to produce accurate, up-to-date, quality training solutions targeted to meet real training needs. We carefully research our programmes and film on location onboard ships whenever possible. A comprehensive team of experts from all sectors of the industry make up our highly respected steering committees.

Seafarer competence impacts on every shipping company, and is a critical factor in ensuring safe, efficient and cost-effective operation of ships the world over.

COMPLEX TRAINING REQUIREMENTS

TOP QUALITY EDUCATION AND TRAINING

As technical developments progress, it is now becoming a legal requirement that seafarer competence is developed, maintained and above all, recorded.

The latest multi-media training materials are used to provide a completely blended training approach that can be accessed online, onboard and onshore.

Companies need help and advice in getting the best training solutions to suit their individual requirements, enabling them to build their own Continuous Professional Development (CPD) programmes.

Challenging training with random questions ensure seafarers actually learn and remember.

VIDEOTEL’S CCM PROVIDES THE SOLUTION

Stimulating and engaging the learning process reduces the risk of training becoming no more than a ‘tick box’ exercise.

Videotel’s suite of training programmes combine seamlessly to provide an easy to use, one-stop solution for the management of training, assessment and record keeping - online, onboard and onshore.

COBALT is suitable as a teaching aid in a classroom, supporting a trainer, lecturer or a senior officer onboard.

It is also an effective self-study resource for students who wish to advance their knowledge at sea or at company manning and training offices. Although primarily aimed at marine engineers, COBALT modules can be used by non-engineering students, such as deck officers and other professionals requiring cross training.

COBALT modules and assessments focus on the requirements of STCW.

ALCOHOL BEWARE! EDITION 2 (19 Mins) In many parts of the world, moderate alcohol consumption is considered acceptable but there is no place for alcohol consumption while working on board ship. All seafarers whatever their rank (or type of ship on which they serve) have a vital part to play in the ship’s organisation and in an emergency response situation. This updated training package looks at the potential harmful effects of alcohol and stresses the need for seafarers to drink moderately at all times.

The topic of blood alcohol concentration is introduced, the alcohol concentration of different drinks is discussed, and information is provided to enable the audience to calculate the precise amount of alcohol they are consuming. The body’s metabolism of alcohol is then described – the only way that the blood alcohol concentration is reduced is by the action of the liver. A dramatised sequence makes the point that seafarers drinking ashore must carefully monitor their alcohol consumption so that by the time they come on watch all the alcohol has gone from their bloodstream. As alcohol can persist in the blood for many hours, this means stopping drinking long before you go on watch.

The effect of increasing blood alcohol concentration on performance and the increased likelihood of an accident are illustrated using graphics. The detrimental effects of excessive alcohol consumption on the brain and liver are also described. About one in twenty-five regular drinkers develops into a problem drinker. The video deals with the difficult topic of what should be done if one member of a shipboard team is suspected of abusing alcohol.

It is far better for the individual, the ship and the company if the problem is addressed rather than ignored. The video is supported by a booklet that supplements the information in the video and also lists possible sources of assistance for those who have to deal with alcohol problems.

AVOID THE BITE – MALARIA PREVENTION FOR SEAFARERS (15 Mins) Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease which always has been and remains one of the world’s biggest killers. Seafarers are particularly at risk from contracting malaria as their job often takes them into malarial zones far from medical help and they may be at higher risk if they have not taken immunity medication. All too often, the dangers are not recognised by ships’ companies or the seafarers themselves. Avoid the Bite is an easy to understand new programme about malaria, the risks, symptoms, treatment and various ways of prevention that will encourage individuals to take responsibility for the avoidance of malaria and seek medical help if concerned. Using a mix of animation, documentary footage, photos, and graphics, Avoid the Bite challenges those who say ‘it won’t happen to me’ and breaks down many of the myths and ignorance that surround the disease and its prevention.

Avoid the Bite was developed specifically to raise awareness about malaria on merchant vessels and to outline preventive measures, symptoms and treatment for seafarers. It is aimed at all crew, and includes a section specifically for Masters, senior officers and shorebased staff. It is a factual, hard-hitting yet highly watchable and informative video to help change attitudes and save lives.

ENCLOSED SPACE ENTRY AND EMERGENCY AWARENESS COURSE Following on from our award-winning training programmes on Enclosed Spaces, this new course highlights all the many dangers facing seafarers. The atmosphere in the holds, bilges, bulkheads, cofferdams and other enclosed spaces of ships present some of the most potentially deadly risks. It is a sad truth that proportionally more seafarers die in accidents in enclosed spaces than in any other accidents at sea, but in spite of this, many shipping companies continue to overlook these dangers. The lack of awareness, training and rescue drills means that safe ways of working in enclosed spaces are all too often ignored or poorly implemented.

ENTRY INTO ENCLOSED SPACES SERIES Accidental death at sea is both tragic and distressing; especially when the death could have been avoided by following the correct procedures or having the right equipment. For this reason, Videotel in association with Mines Rescue Marine, have developed a comprehensive programme in order to highlight the safety procedures that must be followed to ensure safety of crew at all times.

FATIGUE AND STRESS AT SEA (29 Mins) Fatigue and stress are all too common at sea, particularly on vessels trading mainly in coastal waters with frequent stops for cargo transfer. This drama based programme looks at some of the underlying factors which compound the problems. It also emphasises that increased awareness of fatigue and stress is the first step in learning how to minimise their effects and reduce the risk of them leading to serious consequences.

FIGHTING POLLUTION – PREVENTING POLLUTION AT SEA, EDITION 4 (26 Mins) In recent years, pollution of the marine environment has become an increasingly sensitive issue and increased public awareness of problems has prompted governments around the world to enact stricter laws to try and protect the planet. In the light of these developments, the maritime industry has been quick to implement mandatory codes of practice. These codes are quite complex, however, and over time, various amendments have also come into force.

Videotel has updated its training package that covers the main aspects of what constitutes pollution at sea and how to reduce it.

Fighting Pollution – Preventing Pollution at Sea comprises a video and supporting booklet that looks at the impact of maritime waste. The programme shows how easily oil can pollute the sea and outlines the dangers in discarding banned substances like plastics, as well as other types of garbage that may, at first sight, not appear to pose a problem. The training package then looks at the relevant MARPOL regulations – specifically Annexes I and V which deal with oil and garbage respectively – and the requirements it makes on the Master, officers and crew.

Once a broad understanding has been established about what pollution entails, the package then details practical methods for minimising the risks. It highlights areas where problems can occur and provides useful guidelines that can apply to any vessel. This includes the implementation of a shipboard environmental policy and a garbage management plan. The package also gives an overview of the regulations that apply to the Special Areas designated

by MARPOL.

FIRE FIGHTING AT SEA SERIES, EDITION 3 A shipboard fire is one of the greatest dangers facing all seafarers at sea. Learning and refresher training on how to prevent and tackle fires is essential for all seafarers and is a requirement under the STCW 2010 Code. The programme has now been extended to five parts forming a substantial and comprehensive training package. As such, they are expected to be an essential part of the on board training requirements for all vessels. Many marine fire specialists have contributed their expertise to the making of this series as well as industry representatives from several shipping companies.

PART 1 – FIRE PREVENTION (19 Mins) This module looks at the theory behind fire and examines how fires start. It introduces the various categories of fire and the sources of ignition and presents a common-sense approach to fire prevention.

FIRE PARTY OPERATIONS (23 Mins) Within the confines of a ship a fire can quickly get out of control. Seafarers who fight fires need thorough training and periodic retraining. This video demonstrates the appropriate fire fighting operations on board ship. The activities of the fire party during a simulated emergency are shown.

The emergency demonstrates the organisation of entry teams and illustrates many of the procedures required in fighting a fire at sea. The exercise shows the first entry team, consisting of three men who search the smoke filled incident area until they find a casualty whom they recover. The second entry team completes the search of the area, finds the seat of the fire and then extinguishes it.

The emphasis throughout is on practical fire fighting techniques. Good training and good judgement can make an effective fire fighter.

Elementary First Aid gives an introduction to the objectives of first aid. It features the resuscitation techniques required to continue the supply of oxygen to the brain.This supply can be interrupted by choking, immersion in water or by inhalation of smoke or gas. Shock is another huge factor that is considered, as other injuries or severe bleeding may accompany it. Burns and scalds are also highlighted.

Over the years, MARPOL has progressed towards prohibiting as many forms of pollution as possible, while providing a framework within which the shipping industry can still operate.

The latest changes to the Annex V rules entered into force on 1 January 2013 and represent a wide ranging revision. Where in the past most categories of garbage could be discharged in limited circumstances, the rule has now been reversed and most waste streams may not be discharged at sea, except under certain conditions and with restrictions.

PART 2 – MEDICAL FIRST AID, EDITION 2 (44 Mins)

The revised regulations mean that shipowners and operators have to plan their whole garbage management strategy much more thoroughly, with the emphasis on minimisation and disposal in port reception facilities. Garbage Management – MARPOL Annex V, Edition 2 provides training in how to comply with the revised MARPOL Annex V regulations as regards garbage collection, processing, storage, disposal and record-keeping using the Garbage Record Book.

Medical First Aid is more advanced than Part 1 and moves on to look at fractures, sprains and dislocations. Most bone and muscle injuries are not life threatening, but multiple fractures and spinal injuries can be. This part looks carefully at how to treat such injuries, as any mistakes could be fatal. Eye injuries, medical conditions and poisoning are also featured in Part 2.

There are many hazards on board ship but hazardous food is one of the easiest to avoid.

The four part Food Safety at Sea Series considers the risks that food poses to seafarers on all types of ship,as well as passengers on cruise ships and ferries,and how best they can be avoided.

CODE NO 991

The original MARPOL (International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships) Annex V was based on the belief that the ocean would be unharmed by the discharge of most garbage – with the exception of plastic – as long as this took place far enough away from the shore. The accumulation of garbage on beaches and floating in vast patches on the oceans has caused a re-evaluation about what is acceptable in terms of intentional discharge from ships.

This package establishes the on board checks that have to be made before delivery. These involve checking available tank capacity for segregating bunkers if there is a possibility of incompatibility, setting up the lines and checking documentation. Attention then switches to the delivery barge where the ship’s officer checks the quantities on board the barge before delivery commences. He then checks the water content, the temperature of the bunkers and the setting up of the sample bottles to obtain good representative samples of the bunkers delivered.

This illustrates the four principal hazards of food contamination: pathogenic bacteria, physical objects, chemicals and allergenic substances. All could cause sickness or injury, affecting crew efficiency and passenger comfort, even risking ship safety in extreme cases. All are easily avoidable by following the correct control measures. The other three programmes look in more detail at measures available to avoid contamination.

On board ship the Chief Engineer and the barge Master agree on rates of delivery, pressures and methods of communication between the ship and the barge including Emergency Stop.

Scupper plugs are put in place, both on the barge and ship. A final check of the valves by the Chief and permission is given to commence delivery.

Finally, the Chief Engineer and the barge Master agree on the quantities transferred and sign the documentation. All that needs to be done is to secure the bunker port and clean up any oil that may have dripped into the tray.

PART 2 – DELIVERY, STORAGE, PREPARATION AND COOKING (23 Mins) This explains best practice in food suppliers, storage, preparation and cooking. It emphasises that suppliers must be reputable and that products must be in date. It details how food must be stored secure from pests and maintained at correct temperatures, and that different foods need different preparation methods, often in separate areas.

In a second part, the same sequence is shown but this time correct procedures and working techniques are followed, showing how incidents can be avoided before they can even occur.

PART 3 – PERSONAL HYGIENE (17 Mins) This emphasises that the most important way to avoid food related illnesses is diligent personal hygiene and wearing the correct clothing. It provides comprehensive guidance on maintaining a clean routine and advice on appropriate attire.

Aimed primarily at young cadets and deck crew, the films make extensive use of modern image techniques to grab the viewer’s attention and confront the severity of some easily avoidable mistakes. Shot using real crew doing real work, these films generate extensive and highly useful targeted training points to the heart of the audience.

PART 4 – PEST CONTROL AND CLEANING (17 Mins)

Each film is accompanied by a chapter in the support booklet which summarises the main hazards and precautions to take. The chapters can be used as an agenda for the discussion and/or as an aide-memoire for crew members.

This programme describes the measures required to prevent pests gaining access to galleys and storage areas and details the thorough cleaning and sanitizing procedures necessary in food areas to prevent contamination.

HAZARD SERIES – VOLUME 2 (12 mins)

A series of incidents in recent years has turned the spotlight on interaction as a contributing cause of some accidents and revealed that this well-known and much discussed aspect of ships’ behaviour is still poorly understood, even among some of the most experienced mariners.

These are ten short films, shot in the style of commercials, which graphically illustrate common incidents and the tragic consequences that ensue. They are hard hitting sequences, designed to both shock and teach the viewer. In a second part, the same sequence is shown but this time correct procedures and working techniques are followed, showing how incidents can be avoided before they can even occur.

This video explains the basic hydrodynamic principles underlying interaction and suggests ways of avoiding, or reducing its effects. With extensive use of 2D and 3D animations alongside real-life footage of mariners at work at sea and in confined waters, the video and the accompanying workbook give a thorough overview of the subject, bringing it up to date with the latest research.

Aimed primarily at young cadets and deck crew, the films make extensive use of modern image techniques to grab the viewer’s attention and confront the severity of some easily avoidable mistakes.

IMDG TRAINING COURSE (10 Hours)

CODE NO 630

This Training Course provides seafarers with the opportunity to become familiar with the rules governing the carriage of dangerous goods (or HazMat); in particular with the most recent edition of the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code.

Course objectives To provide a course compliant with, and meeting the requirements of the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, 2002 Edition, including Amendment 31. To meet the learning objectives set out in the UK MCA’s recent Marine Guidance Note 228.

LANGUAGES Russian

Life at sea can sometimes be long and hard. To perform well during shipboard duties, to do the everyday tasks, it is essential, if not regulatory, to have a standard of medical fitness.

It is essential, as stated in STCW, that all seafarers should ‘meet the standards of medical fitness’. Many of us don’t value our health until it’s all too late. And yet we can help to prevent poor health by taking simple steps towards good health.

So how can we make sure that our standard of fitness is maintained and we are fit to work during the sometime long voyages at sea? Several key functions of the human body are covered in this video package: • The effect that over exertion has on the brain, highlighting how important relaxation and proper rest is in order for seafarers to function effectively

Target users • Trainees serving on vessels carrying packaged dangerous goods •

AN INTRODUCTION TO OFFSHORE SAFETY (22 Mins)

CODE NO 594.2

This video provides a valuable introduction to the offshore environment and stresses the need for safety there. For, although rules and regulations may vary between different countries and different operators, the importance of safety is universal offshore. The overriding message of the film is that everyone going offshore must listen to all safety briefings and instructions, make sure that they understand them and then comply with them.

Produced in association with the North of England P & I Association, this new edition of The Mariner’s Role in Collecting Evidence focuses on the importance of collecting and preserving good factual evidence in the event of incidents on board. The programme features a dramatised scenario. A seafarer has a fall on board resulting in little more than a grazed hand. At least, that is how it first appears. But during an interview with the chief mate and bosun, it becomes clear that there is far more to it. A maritime lawyer, working on behalf of the employer, makes it known that the seafarer in fact suffered a serious back injury and may never be able to return to sea.

The following subjects are dealt with in detail: • Muster stations and lifeboat drills – learn what to do and where to go in an emergency.

•

Permits to work

•

The reasons for them and why it is vital to comply with every detail of them.

•

The importance of good housekeeping and cleaning up after every job.

•

The importance of using the right protective clothing.

Since the company may face a sizeable claim for damages, the evidence is examined and, as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that systems and procedures had not been followed in line with the on board safety management system. The programme makes clear that collecting accurate, factual evidence will help establish the facts, in turn making investigations by surveyors, lawyers and others faster and more accurate. It will lead to an increased awareness of potential problems resulting in greater care and professionalism on board, making life safer for everyone.

The video touches on many other aspects of offshore life – always with the emphasis on safety. It makes the point that all the safe working procedures learnt onshore apply offshore – but more so. Safety can only be achieved by informed, alert and skilful people who have respect not only for themselves but also for the well-being of others.

THE MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL OF CONTRACTORS (14 Mins)

Target audience: • Flag States

This programme examines how even the best risk management systems can be compromised by lack of vigilence among contractors and those tasked with supervising them. An examination of recent incidents shows that, when things do go wrong, the most common factors cited are a lack of planning and supervision, along with inadequate risk assessment.

The cause is often a lack of understanding about the exact requirements of the job, arising from verbal agreements made in haste. And it is not just the shipping industry that is at fault.

Many of the well-known offshore disasters in recent years have been attributed to poor risk management. Some have led to multiple fatalities, widespread pollution, massive costs and long-term damage to the company’s reputation.

Defining the titles

Every year tens of thousands of workers worldwide suffer serious injury from lifting heavy objects incorrectly. Nerves can become trapped. Ligaments can be stretched. Muscles can easily be torn and damaged. In severe cases, the consequences could include permanent disability and affect the individual’s ability to earn a living.

•

Documentation requirements under the MLC

•

MLC sanctions

•

Interviews with key players

In this training package the main risks from bad practice are considered and the ways of avoiding problems are demonstrated. The first step is to undertake a proper risk assessment prior to lifting and to consider alternatives. Is there a piece of equipment available that would do the job, or at the least, make carrying easier? Is help from a colleague necessary? Are you sure that you will be able to reach your final destination easily? Are stairs involved in the task – accidentally tripping and falling when carrying large and heavy loads often causes major injury. If manual handling is necessary then it is important that lifting is undertaken correctly.

The key to safe lifting is keeping the spinal column upright. If it is off the vertical then even a small amount of pressure can cause damage to one or more of the discs that separate the vertebrae. Using a combination of computer animation of the spine, and lifting operations in a studio as well as in a variety of industrial locations, the correct procedures for lifting are clearly demonstrated.

MARITIME LABOUR CONVENTION 2006 (22 Mins) The programme provides an outline of the purpose of the Mar time Labour Convention 2006, what it contains and how it works. Implementation and enforcement are dealt with in some detail. The programme encourages thought and understanding about what the Convention means for the individual and their role within their organisation.

In recent years, a significant number of personal injury and fatality claims have arisen from the presence of contractors on board ships. But in the eyes of the law, it is not just the contractor at fault. The company too has clear obligations to manage safe working practices, as well as a legally binding duty of care to all those working on or visiting the vessel. With injury compensation payouts often exceeding US$ 2million, it is a high risk area for ship owners, contractors and underwriters alike, yet the subject is rarely discussed within the industry.

MARPOL ANNEX VI – PREVENTION OF AIR POLLUTION FROM SHIPS, EDITION 2 (28 Mins) MARPOL Annex VI applies to all vessels, drilling rigs and other platforms and certification is mandatory on all vessels trading internationally. It is designed to limit air pollution in many different ways. There are strict limits on emissions of oxides of nitrogen and sulphur from engines and clear rules about demonstrating compliance. Additionally, fire fighting, refrigeration and incineration systems are all subject to new regulations and limits. This programme focuses on the new emission controls for oxides of nitrogen and how these are to be introduced as a series of progressively tighter limits over time. These are mainly controlled through engine design, tuning and maintenance. oxides of sulphur and particulates are also addressed. The progressively tighter limits set for sulphur content in fuel worldwide, and the increasingly stringent limits used in Emission Control Areas (ECAs) are both outlined.

Procedural guidelines for incinerator use are described and the need for training emphasised.

MARPOL Annex VI also identifies the need for a written plan to limit emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds.

THE MOORING SERIES, EDITION 4 The latest edition of this series on mooring comprises three video programmes and an accompanying support booklet that incorporates the updated OCIMF Mooring Equipment Guidelines 3rd Edition (MEG3). Each programme deals with a separate aspect of mooring.

CODE NO 1104

Explaining that the objective of an effective mooring system is to ensure that the ship lies securely alongside, regardless of weather, waves or currents, this programme examines the various forces acting upon a moored ship in the transverse, longitudinal and vertical directions. It explains the interaction between these forces and shows how they influence the choice of the most appropriate mooring scheme.The programme shows typical mooring schemes. Also discussed are load sharing between wire and synthetic fibre ropes, the effect on holding power of line length and orientation. Finally, the difference between static and dynamic loading is dealt with and the importance of attending the moorings at all times is emphasised.

The programme also covers new MARPOL regulations concerning the management of Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS). These prohibit deliberate venting of ODS such as the freons and halons often found in air conditioning, refrigeration and fire fighting systems.

Finally, the programme concludes with a summary of the issues covered and a checklist of the ways in which MARPOL regulations may be breached.

PART 2 - SAFER MOORING PRACTICE, EDITION 4 (23 mins)

MINIMISING FATIGUE, MAXIMISING PERFORMANCE (26 Mins)

LANGUAGES Russian Turkish

This programme emphasises the safety aspects of mooring at all stages, illustrating how mooring schemes are devised and applied safely. It begins by explaining the function of mooring and how typical mooring schemes are determined, showing the information sources which exist for most ports around the world. A typical mooring scheme is shown and procedures for mooring are explained. Safer Mooring Practice shows practical details and safeguards of mooring, paying particular attention to cases where wires and synthetic fibre ropes are mixed, including the handling of high modulus synthetic fibre. It also covers the operating procedures for hydraulic and electrically powered winches.

All seafarers, whatever their job, are at risk of fatigue. However, fatigue can be minimised, and performance maximised, if a ship-wide practical management strategy is implemented.

Benefits include crew members feeling less tired and making fewer mistakes, and managers happier about efficiency, safety and morale.

The programme also discusses the recommended command structure between the Master, the Pilot and the mooring parties fore and aft, during mooring operations. The same command structure is also discussed where tug operations are part of the mooring operation, either on escort duty or in tug-assisted mooring. The role of the supervising officer at the mooring platform is critical, particularly in ensuring that all members of the mooring party remain outside the danger zones of each applied mooring scheme. Safer Mooring Practice also discusses the safe handling of tug lines in the context of making fast and letting go of the tug lines.

In answer to the growing concerns of the shipping industry regarding fatigue, the programme sets out some of the most relevant causes of fatigue, and the main aspects of management which can contribute to maximising individual performance. It then describes the main risk factors that impact on fatigue endurance and on individual performance; such as heat and cold related risks, motion sickness, accumulated sleep deprivation, physiological problems.

Presented as a case history, the programme describes the experiences of a safety officer, who is asked to examine the risk elements involved in all of the job descriptions on board ship, to suggest recommendations for implementation to reduce the risk of fatigue and to improve performance.

CODE NO 1106

The accompanying booklet complements the video and highlights the effects of fatigue both physically and mentally, detailing how to recognise fatigue and its causes, such as differing sleep patterns, stress and prolonged work periods. It also introduces the 5-step management system where work schedules are taken into consideration along with a range of environmental, organisational, physiological and psychological factors. An ‘Assessing the Risks and Bringing about Change’ section puts forward examples of typical problematic situations followed by appropriate measures for improving them. In conclusion, there are comprehensive multiple choice questions designed to test the reader’s knowledge.

PART 3 - MAINTENANCE OF MOORING SYSTEMS, EDITION 4 (18 mins) Experience shows that mooring does not receive the same careful attention and safety planning as other procedures on board ship. This may be due to the perception that it is a routine job carried out many, many times. It results in near misses, minor accidents and a few major injuries every year. This programme both encourages and motivates deck officers and crew to carry out mooring with a greater awareness of safety – to get all deck personnel to incorporate safety planning and procedures into mooring.

The video is fast moving with live action mooring scenes cut to music. It uses cartoon animation characters to illustrate how things should not be done and incorporates several slogans to reinforce its vital messages. Several diagrams show the hazards of the snapback zones. The importance of planning, communication and personal safety during mooring operations is underlined throughout the programme and it concludes by noting that personnel should remember that it is vitally important to plan, prepare, carry out and review all mooring operations.

NOISE AND VIBRATION – THE FORGOTTEN HAZARDS

CODE NO 655

Seafarers normally know about most risks to their safety but they forget the hazards of noise and vibration, even though the consequences can be serious.

The helideck on offshore installations is a safety critical area and it must always be fit for use. To ensure that the relevant criteria are met an inspection regime for helidecks in the UK sector has been established by the Health and Safety Executive. The condition of every deck served by British helicopters is now inspected on a regular basis to ensure its fitness for TCAP 437 and covers how the functioning of the deck has to be assessed – dimensions, lettering, bear the weight of the heaviest and largest helicopter at rest, it must cope also with dynamic and lateral loading and an emergency impact at high rates of descent. So the primary structure must be checked for corrosion. Secondary structures, hand rails, stairways and so on must also be examined. Normally Unattended Installations (NUIs), have one problem which overrides all others: guano. Where guano persists, good housekeeping is critical. On all installations, the role of the helideck crew in maintaining the condition of the deck is also important and the OIM needs to ensure they have enough time for their tasks.

Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is permanent and cannot be cured. When the degree of hearing loss reaches the point where a hearing aid is required, the seafarer may no longer be able to work on board ship, except perhaps in the galley. Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome and Whole Body Vibration Syndrome can be extremely painful and cause long lasting distress.

This programme aims to inform everyone on board ship about the dangers and to motivate them to take precautions against NIHL and other vibration related health risks. Using documentary footage, graphics and dramatic reconstructions to tell the story, it details the effects of NIHL and vibration syndromes, sets out the sound levels that seafarers can safely be exposed to, and emphasises the importance of wearing ear protection and of following company procedures for working safely with hand held vibrating equipment.

OFFSHORE ANCHOR HANDLING, EDITION 2 (26 Mins)

CODE NO 905

Working on board an anchor handling vessel (AHV), is an experience unlike that of working on board most other types of ship. It is more exacting and more hazardous because the operations involved in offshore anchor handling are very complex and weather dependent.

Only highly trained seafarers can work on these vessels, whether officers or deckhands.

At all times and in every case the importance of safety is emphasised. Every operation is preceded by risk assessment conducted by the Master and a toolbox talk between everyone involved in the operation. Nothing is left to chance. No operation is carried out if the weather is unsuitable for it and any that has been started will be halted if the weather becomes detrimental. Safety always comes first.

LANGUAGES Polish Romanian Spanish Tagalog Urdu

In deep sea operations the tasks become even more complex because more than one AHV may be involved due to the heavier chains and other equipment deployed. Communication between the rig and the vessels is vitally important. All functions must be co-ordinated as the operation progresses.

OFFSHORE RESCUE (23 Mins) This video follows in detail the abandonment of an offshore oil installation by totally enclosed lifeboat and the successful evacuation of that lifeboat. Beginning on an offshore platform with the sounding of the general alarm and the gathering at a muster point, a lifeboat is launched and the personnel evacuated from it in three ways: • By transfer to rigid inflatable fast rescue craft.

•

By winching up into a search and rescue helicopter.

•

By transfer to a larger vessel – in this case a field stand-by vessel.

A great deal of information about totally enclosed lifeboats and what to do once inside them is fully covered.The emphasis is on how to get out of them safely. The importance of patience and discipline for everyone in the lifeboat is underlined.

OFFSHORE SUPPLY SAFETY (35 Mins)

The programme concludes with the illustration of the various new anchors and anchor handling techniques that are being developed for deep water anchor handling operations.

A workbook is available with the DVD to facilitate an effective training programme. The programme illustrates the practical aspects of the tasks an AHV handles and the functions the officers and deckhands perform during typical operations.

The programme is divided into five modules dealing with the practical aspects of each operation. It can be watched in its entirety or each module can be viewed separately, for instance, as the introduction to a toolbox talk, immediately before carrying out the featured operation. The focal theme of Offshore Supply Safety is keeping to proper procedures and working calmly and carefully. The programme notes that safety depends on good team work between the bridge and deck of the vessel, and between the vessel and the installation. Everyone involved must look out for the safety of the deck crew.

OPERATING CARBON DIOXIDE FIRE FIGHTING SYSTEMS (13 Mins) Many ships are fitted with fixed carbon dioxide (CO2) systems to flood spaces to extinguish major fires. For safety reasons these systems cannot be used in drills.Therefore, seafarers never become familiar with them. On the rare occasions when they are needed, they are consequently often used incorrectly or their use is delayed. The result can be both danger to personnel and damage to the ship.

Operating Carbon Dioxide Fire Fighting Systems includes a reconstruction of a real incident.

It emphasises that officers need to learn about the fixed carbon dioxide system onboard their ship before they need to operate it in an emergency. The programme discusses when the system should be used and explains that correct operating procedure must always be followed. It demonstrates the sequence of events in operating a system, how this should be done, and the checks that must be carried out immediately afterwards. The importance of proper maintenance and the precautions that must be taken during maintenance are discussed. The programme also shows the precautions that must be taken before entering any space which has been flooded with carbon dioxide, detailing the hazards of breathing in carbon dioxide at different concentrations in air.

PRACTICAL MARINE ELECTRICAL KNOWLEDGE – ELECTRIC PROPULSION AND HIGH VOLTAGE PRACTICE, EDITION 3 (31 Mins) Traditionally vessels have powered their machinery and services with a 440 volt system.

In recent years this has begun to change, with High Voltage electricity being the normal standard. High Voltage is any output above I kV, or 1000 volts, to the most commonly used 6.6 kV, or 6,600 volts. For some vessels, such as cruise ships, the voltage used can be up to 13,000 volts.

The video is formed of two distinct sections. Section 1 defines High Voltage and why it is used in cargo carrying vessels. We then look at the safety aspects of handling High Voltage, the equipment required for safe working and a basic explanation of the function and mechanics of Circuit Breakers, the units which protect, or isolate all equipment powered by High Voltage.

A Circuit Breaker is then featured as a training exercise for electrical cadets.

This programme begins by addressing the basic question Why do we muster? It goes on to detail how to do it properly, how to account for everybody on the ship, and probably most importantly, what jobs and tasks are allocated to each crew member and how they should be carried out.

PART 4 – SURVIVAL AND RESCUE (31 Mins) Whilst the first three parts of this series concentrate on abandoning ship safely, the final part deals with surviving afterwards. Both life on board a raft and a lifeboat are shown in this programme, addressing how to apportion food, seasickness prevention and water collection. It looks at survival detection equipment such as EPIRBs and SART. It concludes with successful location for rescue parties, providing advice on how to be rescued by either ship or helicopter in the most efficient and safe way.

Using inappropriate or defective PPE can be as dangerous as not using any. In the eight modules, common workplace situations are featured. Each covers a specific type of protective equipment including • head protection • hand and arm protection • eye protection • ear protection • protective clothing for the body • respiratory protection equipment • foot protection • safety harnesses These show how easily things can go wrong and what could have been done to prevent accidents happening. Each of the specific modules includes advice on how to care for PPE, how to check for and recognise defects, and what action to take when defects are discovered. In many cases, the video also shows what difference PPE would have made to the outcome of a dangerous situation.

PART 3 – LIFE RAFTS (18 Mins) This programme shows the correct method of launching both throw-over and davit launched types of life raft. The programme also addresses the correct procedure for embarkation, how to launch from the ship in a davit type and how to ensure the rapid deployment of the raft.

WHO NEEDS IT? PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (42 Mins) This series of nine linked video modules is designed to encourage seafarers not just to use PPE, but to use it properly. It is structured to allow the selection for viewing only of those modules appropriate to any given audience. In the introductory module, it is stressed that safety is ultimately a personal responsibility. Each individual should make sure that they use safe working practices. That includes using PPE.

PART 2 – LIFEBOATS (22 Mins)

Section 2 looks at the impact High Voltage has had on the cruise ship industry, from the enormous demands of providing onboard services, to the revolutionary use of electric propulsion. The technical complexity of electric propulsion technology, which relies on the action of thyristors within computer-controlled frequency converters is examined. Finally, the operation and control action of synchronous motors is reviewed and there is a description of how pulsed mode operation is required at low running speeds.

RISK ASSESSMENT AT SEA TRAINING COURSE (8 Hours)

CODE NO 904

This course covers how to put risk assessment into practice on board ship without being too complicated. Users will understand that risk assessment is a useful tool that helps prevent accidents, incidents and injuries where possible.The course is based on the principles of basic seamanship and gives comprehensive understanding of risks and hazards onboard ship.

In recent years the world’s thirst for oil has led the oil companies to explore in deeper and deeper offshore waters. This search has been made possible by improved diving techniques and has itself generated further developments.

The topics covered include: • The increased pressure underwater and the reasons for slow decompression on the return to the surface

Course objectives The course aims to increase the awareness of risks and hazards onboard ship, and help the user to gain the appropriate knowledge to carry out a risk assessment.

What steps should be taken by people working near divers to ensure the safety of the diving operations

THE ROLE AND DUTIES OF THE TENDER AND STAND-BY DIVER (17 MINS) In surface-orientated diving operations the roles of both stand-by diver and tender are vital to the diving team. In the very rare incidents that occur, the life of the diver may well depend on how the other members of the diving team react in the first few minutes of the emergency.

This will depend on their training and how well prepared they were before the dive began.

This film illustrates proper working practices.

An exercise involving the recovery of an unconscious diver is shown in detail, illustrating correct recovery procedures. The priorities of ensuring air supply and of reporting progress to the supervisor are emphasised. The exercise shows the casualty being brought to the surface and being resuscitated in a deck decompression chamber. Methods of expired air resuscitation (EAR) are illustrated and discussed. In every instance the film seeks to give a practical illustration of the techniques required and a realistic appraisal of the best way of proceeding.

Divers are professionals. They are an essential but vulnerable part of any offshore team. They are strangers in a totally hostile environment. With the aid of technology and training they are able to work there. They do not need unnecessary hazards. Everyone on an installation has a contribution to make to keep any diving operations as safe as possible.

CODE NO 946

At sea, Pilots often have to embark and disembark in hazardous conditions. It is essential that the pilot ladder is of the highest standard, maintained properly and that a ship’s crew is fully aware of the procedures and able to carry them out correctly.

This package is aimed at all seafarers and highlights best practice in the rigging, maintenance and operation for accommodation ladders, gangways and pilot ladders.

THE ROLE AND DUTIES OF THE BELLMAN (22 Mins) This video looks at the role of the Bellman in bell diving operations. It stresses that the basis for safety is good training, keeping alert and keeping strictly to the established procedures.

It covers an exercise of the recovery of an unconscious diver by the Bellman. Underwater cinematography shows the correct procedures and emphasises the importance of restoring the gas supply and the need for speed. The casualty is seen being received and resuscitated inside the diving bell. In any real emergency the Bellman will need to think and act rapidly, making decisions based on his knowledge of diving medicine techniques. This film deals at length with a real diving incident involving the recovery of an unconscious diver. R.O.V. (Remotely Operated Vehicle) pictures of the actual rescue are shown and the two individuals involved, casualty and bellman, discuss their experiences and what they learned from them.

SAFE GANGWAY & LADDER OPERATIONS (27 Mins) On arrival at port, ships are boarded by a wide range of people from agents, customs officials and stevedores, to inspectors, shore crews and visitors. The accommodation ladder, or a gangway, is the normal means of access and often gives the first impression of how the ship is managed.

The video stresses that there are no short cuts in diving safety. Diving is only safe when you remember that it can be dangerous.

SAFE DIVING (22 Mins)

CODE NO 967

SAFE LIFTING OF NON CARGO LOADS (20 Mins) Bringing non-cargo items, such as crew possessions, provisions or spares aboard a ship is a task that can sometimes be a relatively low priority for crews. It may be done in a hurry or with fewer or less experienced people than good working practices dictate. However, when hoists and cranes are used for any task, injury and even death are always a potential.

Common failings include poor communication between the personnel involved, disabling safety features of the lifting equipment, and exceeding the Safe Working Load (SWL) of the gear. Any of these mistakes can result in a serious accident unless some simple rules are followed.

This programme aims to alert seafarers to the dangers of failing to follow safe methods of working when using non-cargo deck cranes. It shows different examples of the type of equipment in use, referring to lifts done at the quayside, on loading from supply or other boats, as well as offshore lifts, and includes the recommended safe working practices to follow.

The training messages are appropriate to the use of non-cargo cranes, gantries, hoists, derricks, chain blocks and other lifting equipment. The programme highlights the potential hazards and dangers of non-cargo lifting, encouraging the individual to think about safety and procedure before and during operations.

SAFE OFFSHORE CARGO TRANSPORTATION (20 Mins)

LANGUAGES Brazilian Portuguese

Working with cargo on board offshore supply vessels has its own hazards. These may arise from the types of cargo being handled or from the extremes of weather often found around offshore installations. Knowledge about good cargo handling is a major consideration and understanding of the processes by everybody involved at sea and ashore does make a significant contribution to that safety.

CODE NO 973

Where a ship design allows it, the use of forklift trucks has proved to be very beneficial. They are labour saving devices and reduce the risk of personal injury when working with heavy loads. However, forklift trucks are potentially lethal when misused, poorly maintained or incorrectly driven. A lack of understanding or inadequate training can also lead to accidents.

Only seafarers who are qualified forklift drivers should operate the forklift truck, although everyone onboard must be aware of the dangers involved when forklift operations are taking place.

This video package will aid the understanding of the problems experienced by all the people involved in moving cargo between installation and vessel and is aimed at personnel all along the supply chain.

This package looks at the most common issues involved in forklift operations on board ship including the proper risk assessment procedures and safety checks that need to be made prior to working with a forklift truck as well as guidance on safe and correct driving techniques. The programme looks at the particular driving techniques required whilst working aboard a Ro-Ro vessel, always mindful of those working in the vicinity.

The package deals with the preparation and safe packing of cargo, both on shore and offshore. The timely distribution of all relevant information to all concerned about the nature of the cargo to be handled, especially to the Master of the vessel is impo tant. The package discusses the preparation of a proper stowage plan, taking a count of the physical limitations of the vessel and of the cranes available for moving the cargo as well as the overall numbers, sizes, weights and shapes of cargo.Other elements include the adequate supervision of cargo stowage on deck and the need for proper securing of cargo, particularly piping or other round shaped objects which are likely to roll as a result of ship’s movement.

THE SAFE USE OF ABRASIVE WHEELS, EDITION 3 (12 Mins)

Aimed at all seafarers, the programme raises potential hazards and dangers of using forklift trucks, encouraging the individual to think about safety and procedure before and during use of equipment.

CODE NO 925

The abrasive wheel is a very useful and versatile tool, and at sea, a vital part of a ship’s workshop. However, used carelessly or wrongly, it can be a very dangerous piece of equipment, causing serious injuries, such as severe friction burns, crushed fingers, loss of eyesight, or sometimes even death.

Demonstrating how and, most crucially by whom, a wheel should be selected, tested, mounted and dressed, the programme addresses the essential components of both bench and portable wheel assembly, and stresses the need for good housekeeping and appropriate PPE. We draw special attention to best shipboard practice in the storage, maintenance, supervision and issue of the portable grinders widely used above and below deck.

THE SAFE USE OF CRANES IN THE OFFSHORE INDUSTRY (22 Mins)

THE SAFE USE OF IONISING RADIATION IN THE OFFSHORE INDUSTRY (22 Mins) Every exposure to ionising radiations does involve a certain degree of risk to health and, as these radiations cannot be seen, heard or felt, they present a special hazard. However, given our understanding and control of ionising radiations they can be used safely. The first section of the film deals with the three factors that provide protection from radiation, i.e. shielding, time and distance. Diagrams are used as an aid to understanding the practical issues involved and the reasoning behind them. The film continues by showing in detail two typical offshore uses of ionising radiation – a wireline logging operation and a weld inspection. Although these two techniques are quite different the safety aspects of both that concern non-specialist personnel are similar. The film examines these operations from both sides and provides an understanding of how and why the ionising radiation sources are used emphasising and demonstrating the safety aspects of each procedure.

Carrying out proper risk assessment and following correct safety procedures reduces the likelihood of these accidents. This updated programme highlights the most frequent misunderstandings and errors when using abrasive wheels, alerting all to the very real hazards these pose.

It outlines and complies with the international legislation designed to ensure safety, best practice and best performance at sea when using abrasive wheels. It highlights the potential hazards and dangers of using abrasive wheels, encouraging the individual to think about safety and procedure before and during use of the equipment.

SUBTITLES Chinese Mandarin

Statistics show that crane operations are one of the most hazardous offshore activities. The film is aimed at all those who need to know more about the operation of cranes offshore, particularly in terms of safety. The video uses diagrams to illustrate some of the fundamental theory such as the reduction of safe working load with increasing sling angle and also crane radius, the risks of shock loading when unloading and back loading supply boats.

SAFE USE OF RIGGING EQUIPMENT (22 Mins) This training package illustrates and explains the many different ways to lift a load by cranes, hoists and winches during the varied operations seafarers are involved in when moving provisions, machinery and cargo. It establishes that it is most important to know the weight of the load so that the correct weight load limit for each of the shackles, hooks, clamps and slings employed in the lift can be determined. If the weight is unknown, the package explains the method of calculating it for both regular shaped and irregular shaped objects.

The method of selecting the various shackles, hooks, blocks and slings is shown and their range of configuration and material is illustrated, including steel wire, rope, webbing etc.

The video package then discusses and illustrates the different hitches that are normally employed in typical lifting situations in the engine room and on deck. These include the vertical hitch, bridle hitch, the basket hitch and the choker hitch. In each case graphic illustrations are provided to show the various forces and the angles at which they prevail which affects the weight load ratings of all the rigging involved.

The video emphasises the fact that the crane and lifting gear are an integral lifting system which will have one maximum safe working load for any given configuration of boom angle.

The importance of weather as an operating restriction is discussed. After demonstrating basic crane operating techniques the video examines in detail a typical unloading operation from a supply boat.

Finally, there are a number of special cases discussed and illustrated, for example, lifts which involve tandem application of rigs; rigs which lift through openings; unusual hitching and multiple hitching. The video places great emphasis on the need for operators of lifting equipment to undergo thorough training.

The video shows how safe crane operations are a result of good training, proper safe working practices, good teamwork and communications between the crane operator and the deck crews. Every part of the operation is shown and many practical safety issues are demonstrated and discussed. Offshore installations rely on crane operations for their essential

SAFER MOORING (9 mins)

SECURITY SERIES

Experience shows that mooring does not receive the same careful attention and safety planning as other procedures on board ship. This may be due to the perception that it is a routine job carried out many, many times. It results in near misses, minor accidents and a few major injuries every year.

A series of five individual programmes looking a various aspects of security issues on board ship.

The objective of Safer Mooring is to address this situation, and to both encourage and motivate deck officers and crew to carry out mooring with a greater awareness of safety – to get all deck personnel to incorporate safety planning and procedures into mooring.

The video is fast moving with live action mooring scenes cut to music. It uses cartoon animation characters to illustrate how things should not be done and incorporates several slogans to reinforce its vital messages. Several diagrams show the hazards of the snap-back zones. The importance of planning, communication and personal safety during mooring operations is underlined throughout the programme. Safer Mooring seeks to fight the complacency that so often accompanies mooring operations. It concludes by noting that personnel should remember that it is vitally important to plan, prepare, carry out and review all mooring operations.

Reporting procedures

The programme continues with a detailed examination of an exercise on board ship of an emergency plan in response to a collision. The interactions between the Master and the emergency party, the ship and the office and the coastal authorities are scrutinised.

The appearance of a vessel reflects not only the standard of the management and customer service that a shipping line offers, but also indicates that a high level of safety, efficiency, solid organisation and good seamanship is maintained at all times.The key to this operational success is good housekeeping and aimed at all seafarers and shore based management – a team effort, not just on board ship, but also on shore.

The third section addresses how visitors can keep themselves safe while on board the ship.

This includes asking questions about the surroundings and what is happening on board the ship such as cargo operations or bunkering. It also includes reviewing key safety procedures with the officer in charge and making sure to wear the appropriate safety equipment for the areas being visited.

The roles of the Company Security Officer and the Ship Security Officer are mandatory. All passenger ships, cargo ships of 500 GRT upwards, mobile offshore drilling units and port facilities serving such ships engaged on international voyages must have a designated Security Officer.

The objective of this module is to demonstrate the use of a ship’s emergency or contingency plan.The programme opens with the rationale for a contingency plan and goes on to define what it must contain and the essential steps in responding to an emergency at sea.The need for all officers to have a good understanding of their ship’s plan is emphasised. This can only be achieved through good training and regular exercising of the plan.

SHIPSHAPE: A GUIDE TO GOOD HOUSEKEEPING

The second part of the programme focuses on potential hazards on the way to the ship.

STCW 2010 – THE MANILA AMENDMENTS (25 Mins)

CODE NO 887

The Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) was first implemented in 1978. Following some important amendments over the years, notably in 1995, it came into full effect in 2002. In June 2010, at the Diplomatic Conference in Manila, Philippines, the latest revision of the STCW was debated and formalised into a document that set international standards for seafaring best practice now and in the future.

When a lifting appliance fails, the consequences can be far-reaching. Serious injuries and deaths can occur, not just to personnel but to the general public. Legal claims can arise and legal costs inevitably play a part – and those costs are rising. When equipment fails, the costs of disrupted operations can also be considerable. Different national legal frameworks generally require that lifting appliances should be thoroughly examined by a ‘competent person’ at least every 12 months. The International Labour Organisation (ILO) defines a “competent person” as ‘a person possessing the knowledge and experience required for the performance of a specific duty or duties and acceptable as such to the competent authority.’

This programme looks at the background and significance of the STCW leading up to the 2010 conference. It considers the effect of the revisions on some key areas of operational life that affect all maritime professionals, both on board and ashore. Among the subjects covered are new certification and refresher training and how this affects all able seafarers on deck and in the engine room. It follows safety culture, with particular emphasis on the importance of sound leadership, before turning to tanker training and the issues arising from the many different cargoes carried and their potential hazards. The attention then turns to security and the current concerns raised by armed robbery and international piracy, moving on to the challenges facing ships’ Masters when navigating in polar waters, whether on freight routes, or the cruise ship market. Finally, the programme addresses the importance of recognising the role of the Port State and the need for accurate record keeping.

Course objectives The course aims to improve understanding of the key elements of examining lifting appliances and to reinforce knowledge of the relevant safety practices. If you are a surveyor, you will be able to demonstrate your understanding of the training material by passing the assessment at the end of the course. The materials can also be used by surveyors as a refresher and a reference tool, as and when required. If you are involved in preparing lifting appliances for a thorough examination, it will give you the information and insights you need to prepare lifting appliances and their associated equipment effectively.

This programme covers the conference itself and provides key interviews with leading representatives of the maritime industry, operators, owners and port authorities, offering their expertise and analysis of the latest revisions to the STCW as it affects their own particular area of operations. This programme is thoughtfully structured and illustrated to give the audience an accurate update of this all important document.

Course outcomes This course will help you towards becoming a “competent person”, able to play your part in improving the safety of lifting appliances.

SURVEY AND EXAMINATION OF LIFTING APPLIANCES TRAINING COURSE (6 Hours)

Target users This course is aimed at surveyors and anyone involved in examining or maintaining lifting appliances, whether they are working in the marine sector, the offshore sector, or examining dockside cranes. The objective is to ensure that examinations are carried out thoroughly and consistently and that personnel who examine lifting appliances are acknowledged as ‘competent persons’.

Mode of delivery CBT, with multiple choice questions at the end of each module and a final assessment.These tests are not a part of the final assessment – they are for you to check your knowledge and understanding. At the end of the course there is a multiple choice test which is assessed. If you are not a surveyor, but are responsible for preparing lifting appliances for an examination, passing this assessment is an important demonstration of your competence to do this work.

TRANSFER BASKETS (13 Mins) In the past, transferring personnel at sea was usually only done in an emergency. Nowadays, moving people between ships and offshore oil platforms is more common, yet doing so by transfer basket is still not a routine operation for most conventional ships and in recent years a number of incidents involving transfer baskets have led to deaths and severe injuries.

This programme presents the many ways accidents can occur when using transfer baskets through the use of a stylishly animated video on board ship and a short and concise accompanying workbook. Lifting a person in a basket is a high risk procedure and best avoided if it can be undertaken by a safer method of transfer such as helicopter or boat. However, if transfer baskets are to be used to transport personnel, best practice and company procedures should be followed to minimise accidents.

UNDERWATER ELECTRICAL SAFETY (18 Mins)

VESSEL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SERIES

The aim of this film is to establish that using electric power whilst totally immersed in sea water can be safe. It deals diagrammatically with some basic electrical theory to demonstrate that the current that will flow through water depends on the voltage gradient in the water and also that there are well-defined limits of shock current and shock time that can be withstood by a diver. It stresses that divers must be protected from shocks by both passive means – such as good earthing of the electrical equipment – and active means – such as residual current circuit breakers.These techniques are gone into in detail. The importance of safe working practices whilst welding under water is underlined and a brief consideration is given of R.O.V.s and impressed current anodes.

A complete update of the very successful Bridge Procedures and Bridge Resource Management series, this entirely new eight-part training package takes as its foundation good resource management, and shows how important it is to every seafarer and how vital it is to keep to established company procedures at all times.

Their actions determine the successful outcome of the voyage, the well being of the seafarers, and protection of the marine environment. Vessel Resource Management is the term used by the STCW Convention to describe the process by which the officers and crew work together to achieve this. Vessel Resource Management directly concerns itself with the way the ship operates. It concentrates on four areas of competence, knowledge, understanding and proficiency, seeking to develop best practice through a technique called Situational Awareness, which has now been adopted by the STCW code as a key measure.

Course objectives This training course will demonstrate the theory and use of Situational Awareness in a variety of work environments, showing how it enhances the individual’s ability to perceive and interpret information, in order to improve anticipation. Through a series of case studies and workbook exercises, students will learn how to apply their own Situational Awareness skills, and meet the challenges and opportunities they face daily.

Course outcomes Those who successfully complete the programme will understand the theory of Situational Awareness as a tool of best practice in Vessel Resource Management and learn how to apply that best practice to the following key areas: managing workloads; effective communication; good teamwork; culture; and leadership.

Target users This training course is for all officers below the rank of Chief Officer who wish to improve their Vessel Resource Management skills, but is also of value for shore based personnel. Users will include Bridge and Engine Room Officers, Shipping Company Managers, VTS Operators and Pilots Regulations addressed STCW Section A-VIII/2

WORKING TOGETHER – RACIAL & SEXUAL DISCRIMINATION ON BOARD (15 Mins)

CODE NO 873

Today, towing a large ship is fraught with potential hazards and accidents during towing operations are all too common. In port, tugs are often working in a restricted space with limited room for manoeuvre, while long distance offshore tows have their own particular problems.

The world of work has changed. In today’s workplace traditional roles have fast disappeared.

Women increasingly follow careers once only pursued by men, while men are happy to do what was once known as ‘women’s work’. Around the world companies now routinely employ workers of different nationalities and cultures. New technology and the need to keep down costs have meant that the modern worker is often a member of a small group or team.

Trust, good communication and a willingness to share and solve problems are vital to their success. Nowhere is this need to work together more important than in the shipping industry.

The modern ship’s crew may contain people from several different cultures. Women are now employed at all levels of the industry. In the tight-knit community of a ship, misunderstandings, language difficulties and resistance to change can sour working relationships, leading to conflict and discrimination. This happens when people allow their behaviour to be dictated by assumptions, generalisations and prejudices about individuals and groups who are different from them. Often these are deep-seated attitudes learnt many years ago and hard to change.

We need to build understanding and mutual respect to integrate groups of individuals into a motivated team.

Course objectives This course shows how the risks of a towing operation can be minimised through thorough preparation, effective teamwork and communication, and by adopting best practice in all procedures.

Course outcomes After completing the course, trainees will understand the safety issues involved in towing operations. They will be able to plan and undertake a harbour towing operation using best safety practice, and will know the legal requirements for emergency towing. Trainees who complete Module 4 will also learn how to carry out an offshore towing operation safely.

This video package is designed to help those employed in the shipping industry tackle racial and sexual discrimination. It is designed to help highlight some of the difficulties that could arise when people of different nationalities and sex work together. The video does not give answers, but simply points out the errors of our ways. It is designed to help the audience understand that we all have feelings and that working together should be a happy environment. A guide accompanies the video. At sea, as ashore, there is an urgent need to work out an acceptable code of behaviour, with mutual respect accorded to everyone, regardless of gender or culture. We should all be able to work together without the fear of conflict and harassment.
