             the Master;
            However, the Chief Officer is

             maintenance work may be
             delegated to Junior Officers and
             Ratings, provided they are

                                            8
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.
                                             9
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.

                                       10
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 required
   and 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
                                               11
State of Readiness

         Information given on
          maintenance & inspection
          is for guidance only;
         YOU must determine the
          level of maintenance
          required in order to keep
          the equipment in a
          constant state of
          readiness.

                                 12
do not “OVER” inspect

          It is NOT 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 NOT allow
           sufficient time for thorough
           maintenance and inspection
           of the equipment.
                                      13
        do not “OVER” inspect

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

 This is NOT true, records will NOT 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.
