WHAT IS A SAFETY MANAGEMENT MANUAL?

A Safety Management Manual is a document designed to help Owners/Masters and Crew
doing things safely and consistently. Developing a Safety Management Manual is not
supposed to be a difficult task. Just be sure to think about what you do and anything you do
to make things safe - and then WRITE IT DOWN!!

The National Standard for Commercial Vessels Part E – Operational Practices – specifies
two types of Safety Manuals:

A Safety Management Plan (SMP) is a safety manual which covers, at a minimum:
    What operations you do and how you do them safely
    OH&S policy and how it relates to your crew and any passengers
    Include a reference to any logbooks and maintenance logs
    How you report incidents
    Emergency procedures, if something goes wrong

A Safety Management System (SMS) includes, at a minimum:
    All of the above points from an SMP
    OH&S policy
    Environmental Policy
    Owner/Company Responsibilities towards Safety
    Master’s Responsibilities towards Safety
    Crew qualifications and crewing
    Training conducted and keeping a record of training
    A method for customer feedback
    How often the SMS is reviewed and updated

WHICH SAFETY MANUAL DO I HAVE TO WRITE?

Step 1: Follow the flowchart to work out if you need an SMP (Blue) or SMS (Blue and
Green)

Step 2: Use the tables as a reference guide, and tick things off. With each point, ask yourself
two questions:

       a. Is this question relevant to me? (eg. if you have no automatic pilot, you don’t have
       to write anything about it). If in doubt, the answer is “Yes”.

       b. If it IS relevant, have I written something down?

Step 3: Get everyone’s input, from Owner, Master and Deckhand, everyone will have a
slightly different opinion or point-of view. Always be sure to keep things relevant and
useful!

ALTERNATIVE VERBAL EMERGENCY PLAN FOR LOW RISK VESSELS

If you have a single, small vessel with a fixed crew, you may only need a Verbal Emergency
Plan. The Verbal Emergency Plan means that you only need to practice, and not write down
the actual procedures in the case of a fire, flood, grounding, etc. If you are eligible for a
Verbal Emergency Plan, you will only need to practice your emergency procedures and
record your training in a logbook.

Answer the questions in Table 3 to see if you are eligible.

Although not mandatory, a documented Emergency Plan is still highly recommended.


Table 3 Test for Verbal Emergency Plan
Do you:                                      Yes/No
Have a vessel less than 12m length?                              VERBAL
Have a regular, fixed crew?                                    EMERGENCY
Carry zero passengers?                                        PLAN – Yes / No?
Carry a maximum three (3) crew?
Don’t primarily conduct towage?
Do not support offshore oil industry?
Do not deliver fuel or carry dangerous
goods?

If You Answer YES to ALL of the above you only need to have a VERBAL Emergency Plan
(use Table 3)
