Safety at Sea
TDI-Brooks International
HSE Training Program
Revised August 2014
TDI HSE Commitment
• It is the goal of TDI-Brooks International to
conduct each project with zero accidents
and no harm to personnel or the
environment.
Management Commitment
• TDI-Brooks is committed to providing its
employees, contractors, clients and visitors a
safe environment in which to work.
• Safety is the business and responsibility of every
employee
• and can be better achieved through proper
engineering, education, training, protective
equipment and enforcement of safety rules.
Management Commitment
• TDI-Brooks is responsible for providing the
proper equipment, tools, training, supervision
and policies to their employees to meet the
company commitment to a safe work
environment.
• Every employee is responsible for
understanding and practicing appropriate safety
procedures and policies for their own protection
as well as others.
Management Commitment
• How do we meet this commitment?
– TDI-Brooks follows US and international
standards.
– TDI-Brooks fosters an attitude of safety and
environmental protection.
– TDI-Brooks maintains a Health, Safety and
Environment (HSE) system or as known
under ISM Code --Safety Management
System.
Management Commitment
– Objectives of the HSE system include:
•
•
•
•
Preventing accidents
mitigating occupational hazards
training personnel
Providing adequate personnel protective
equipment (PPE)
• Establishing a system for incident/ accident
investigation and corrective actions
• understanding and complying with laws, rules, and
regulations applicable to our operations
Behavioral Based Safety
• What is a behavioral based safety
program?
– It is a process rather than program because it
involves a behavior cultural re-evaluation.
TDI-Brooks’ BBS Program
• Components of TDI-Brooks’ behavioral based
safety program include:
– Clear direction and support from management on
following company safety policies.
– Job Safety Analysis before work
– STOP WORK authority for ALL employees
– Employee involvement through Safety Observation
Cards
– Last Minute Risk Analysis
Behavioral Based Safety
TDI-Brooks has implemented the use of
“Safety Observation” Cards
• Cards are to be used to
recognize a risky
behavior or situation as
well as recognize a
positive behavior or
situation.
• The master or PC will
review these at the
weekly or daily safety
meeting.
Ship’s Orientation
• All new comers to this vessel will be given
an orientation and tour.
• Berthing will be assigned. Berthing areas
offer limited privacy and therefore be
considerate of others assigned to your
berthing areas.
• Meal hours are posted, please respect
meal hours.
Ship’s Orientation
• There are common living and working
areas shared by all people aboard this
vessel.
• Do your part to keep these areas clean
and return items to their original location.
• So far, your mother does not work here
Short-Service Employees
(SSE)
• Short-Service Employees
– A short-service employee is defined as an
individual who has worked less than 6 months
for TDI-Brooks or has less than 12 months of
appropriate experience.
– A short-service program has been developed
in order to address safety and health issues
for these individuals.
Short-Service Employees (SSE)
– Because these individuals have limited
experience with working for this organization,
it is our responsibility to ensure their safety by
“looking out” for them. We need to take the
time to train and observe their work efforts to
ensure that they work safely.
– In a very real sense, “you are your
brother’s keeper” when on the ship
– Do not allow or tolerate harassment, on any
basis
Job Safety Analysis
• Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is a process by
which operating hazards are identified and
controlled, reducing incidents and injuries.
• The JSA is a participatory process
involving management, supervisors and
the employees who will do the job.
Job Safety Analysis
• JSA process involves breaking a job into
steps, identifying potential hazards in each
step and stating how you will mitigate or
minimize each hazard.
Job Safety Analysis
• Before beginning any task that requires a
JSA, the supervisor and employees doing
the work should review the JSA and
update it to adapt to any changing
conditions or new hazards.
Job Safety Analysis
• A link to the most recent JSA’s are located
on the Crewing Module next to each
vessel.
Reporting

Preventing Hand Injuries
Hand injuries are the most common type of
injuries in our operations and no amount of JSA
review or PPE can protect you from injury better
than your own SITUATIONAL AWARENESS.
You must always be aware of when your hands
are at risk of being cut or crushed and move to
avoid it.
Preventing Hand Injuries
Do not EVER put your self or your hands
between moving equipment and the vessel in
an attempt to stop it moving. If equipment
starts to swing, just get out of the way.
Slips, Trips and Falls
• Slips, trips and falls result in a significant
portion of “lost-time incidents”. The back
is the most frequently injured part of the
body.
• Slips happen when there is too little friction
or traction between your footwear and the
walking surface.
Slips, Trips and Falls
• Common causes of slips include:
– Wet or oily surfaces- slippery
– Weather hazards
– Loose rugs, mats
– Walking surface that do not have the same
degree of traction
– Poor behavior
Slips, Trips and Falls
• (flip flops, slaps, sandals may ONLY be
worn to and from the shower)
I think we all know who
I’m talking about…
Slips, Trips and Falls
• Some common causes of trips are:
– Obstructed views
– Poor lighting
– Clutter
– Wrinkled carpet, mats
– Uncovered cables
– Uneven walking surfaces
Slips, Trips and Falls
• Preventing slips, trips and falls.
– Good House Keeping. This is the single most
important factor in preventing slips, trips and
falls. Good housekeeping includes:
•
•
•
•
•
Cleaning spills immediately
Marking wet areas
Cleaning debris from floors
Keeping clutter from walkways and work areas
Securing carpets, mats
Slips, Trips and Falls
• Same-level falls are the most frequent
and least severe. Same-level falls are
generally slips or trips
• Elevated falls result when an individual
falls from an elevated structure/surface.
• All work that occurs 6 feet above
the deck requires the use of a
safety harness.
Slips, Trips and Falls
• Elevated falls are less frequent but can result in
more severe injuries. in which the individual is
injured when they hit a walking or working
surface, or strike an object during the fall.
• Some common causes of falls are:
–
–
–
–
Failing to step firmly on elevated surface
Not holding on to side rails
Carrying tools, loads
Poor lighting
Manual Lifting Guidelines
The following guidelines are designed to reduce
back injuries associated with manual lifting,
placing, carrying, holding and lowering.
If you have some condition that may limit your
ability to manually move materials, inform your
supervisor immediately.
Manual Lifting Guidelines
• Common causes of back injury include:
– Heavy lifting, particularly over a period of time
– Twisting at the waist while lifting or holding a
heavy load
– Reaching while lifting
– Lifting or carrying awkward or odd shapes
– Working is awkward positions
– Slipping, tripping falling -traveling
Manual Lifting Guidelines
• How to avoid back injury:
– Change positions frequently. The body can
only tolerate one position for about 20
minutes.
– Avoid repetitive stretching to the end range of
your motion or awkward/angled postures.
They can can bind joints.
– Avoid heavy loads.
– Fatigue can magnify any potential injuries.
Manual Lifting Guidelines
• Tips for handling materials safely:
– Avoid bending/twisting while lifting, pivot or
squat instead.
– When squatting to lift, keep chin and chest up
and use a diagonal foot position.
– Get a tight grip on the object before you lift it.
– Avoid lifting overhead.
– Exercise and stretch regularly.
Manual Lifting Guidelines
– It is generally better to push rather than pull
when moving objects and to lower rather than
lift objects.
– Keep lifted objects close to body at waist
level, evenly balance loads with both arms.
– Take rest breaks to stand, change position
and stretch.
– Break tasks into shorter segments.
Manual Lifting Guidelines
– Use mechanical devices whenever possible.
– Get help if the item looks too heavy or
awkward to move.
– Make sure you have visibility while carrying
objects.
– Plan your work to avoid needless and
repeated handling of objects.
Lifting Gear Procedures
TDI’s lifting gear procedures are described
in SOP-GEN-013A in the Safety
Management Manual (SMM).
Lifting gear is defined as anything used to lift
a load. It includes everything from plasma
rope to wire tope, shackles, pendants,
slings, chain falls, sheaves, blocks and
more.
Lifting Gear Procedures
All lifting gear on TDI vessels is reviewed
and approved by our engineering
department.
You MUST NOT purchase lifting gear locally
for use in TDI operations or on our vessels.
Lifting Gear Procedures
Lifting gear is inspected annually by a
qualified rigger and painted the current
year’s color.
The approved lifting gear color is changed
every year and published on the lift gear
color chart.
Lifting Gear Procedures
Anyone using lifting gear is responsible for
inspecting it before use.
Gear must be in good condition and painted
with the current year’s color to be used.
Damaged gear should be painted red and
removed from service.
Health Issues
