Observation: During some routine maintenance Quimada observed a colleague working on the PV valve without the use of a safety harness.Quimada used his stop work authority to remind his colleague about the danger he was putting himself in. All the correct safety equipment and PPE was then set up to use before work could re-commence. Any fall from height especially when using tools or lifting heavy objects could result in a life altering injury or worse.

Colleague: Lito Perez
Observation: During a recent port stay the crew were arranging sludge disposal. Oleksandr was observing operations port side and as they commenced he immediately noticed that the disposal pipe cover was not properly closed. He reported these findings to the duty engineer by radio who gave the order to engage emergency stop procedures. A safety meeting was carried out and all crew were reminded about the pre- op checks that must be completed. Oleksandr’s quick observation almost certainly prevented a serious pollution event.
Observation: Razi recently observed one of his colleagues attempting to lift a heavy storage cabinet from the deck area to engine room. Instead of seeking help to move the cabinet, he took the full load of the cabinet on himself. Razi reminded his colleague about the dangers of such a task as there were many risks and hazards. All crew were reminded about the correct and safe procedures for handling and moving heavy or difficult objects.
Observation: During routine checks Lito noticed that there were some exposed wires coming from the heater in the wine locker. In addition the junction box was also open. Lito informed the Electrical team who removed the heater and also covered the junction box, making the wine locker a safe zone. Had there been any sparks or ignition within this locker the results could have been devastating.
