Fundamental Philosophy of
Deck Seamanship

A ship is an industrial environment and it is
a dangerous place to work.

It can be made safe by:
– Taking care
– Using common sense
– Not hurrying

Where officers fit into the
picture

Most junior enlisted sailors feel that they are
immune from danger.
– It is the senior personnel who must ensure that
they don't find out how wrong they are!

The safety officer must resist the temptation
to get involved in the activities.
– Focus on big picture

Allow the sailor to do the job!

Personal Protective Equipment
Nearly 2 million people are expected to
receive disabling work related injuries this
year.
 More than ¼ of these injuries will involve the
head, eyes, hands, or feet.
 PPE can prevent many of these injuries.

Personal Protective Gear

Hard Hats / Cranial
– Topside work or underway replenishment
– What will it protect you from?
– White is the hard hat color worn by officers
and other safety/supervisory personnel

Personal Protective Gear

Loose Clothing
– Anytime work is being done around rotating
machinery, or any moving system, loose clothing
becomes dangerous.

Personal Protective Gear

Flotation Devices
– Life jackets and other personal flotation devices
should be worn when common sense dictates.
– On the flight deck, or during combat conditions,
where a kapok-type life preserver is too bulky,
other means (CO2 inflatable preservers) are
substituted.

Ground tackle, Anchoring,
and Mooring

The number one safety rule:
Never stand in the bight of a line or
cable!

Pre-brief

Anchoring

With ground tackle and anchoring, a yellow
"shot" of anchor chain is a warning, and a red
"shot" is danger.

Letting go of the anchor should be done
slowly and with great control
– but if the anchor is "free falling" out of control and
one of these shots appears, get out of the way!

Mooring
When mooring, ensure that all line handlers
are in safe zones when working tensioned
lines.
 Keep an eye on the tattletales and on the
general motion of the ship.
 Personnel on the bridge are more concerned
about maneuvering and positioning the ship,
and it is easy to loose the big picture
regarding lines.

Cargo Handling and UNREP

Safety is an issue anytime weight is being
handled, especially during cargo onloads or
offloads and during UNREP’s.

The following general precautions must be
followed:
– Pre-Brief
– Training

Cargo Handling and UNREP

Stand clear of the load. Never get between a
load and the ship.

It is amazing how many people think they
can get on one side of a 5 ton load and push
it into position.

Do not allow someone to get trapped
between the load and a bulkhead.

Rope vs. Line

Ropes:
– Manufactured from wire, fiber, or a combination
of the two.

Lines:
– Fiber rope
– Natural: cotton, hemp
– Synthetic: nylon, polyester, polypropylene,
polyethylene

Working with lines and rope

Gloves
– When working with wire
rope, a person must
wear gloves. There are
many "fishhooks"
(fragments of wire) that
can cut a hand, and the
grease that covers most
rope is not good for an
open cut.

Working with lines and rope

Gloves

Keep hands at least 18
inches from a bit, padeye, or snatch block.
– When handling line,
however, a person
should generally not
wear gloves (avoids
getting caught in lay of
line)

Working with lines and rope

Parting
– Wire ropes part just like lines do, and care
should be taken not to rush evolutions that
involve wire rope.
– Although it doesn't tend to snap back like
synthetic line, a parting rope or line is
dangerous.

Working with lines and rope

Deterioration
– The biggest danger with natural fiber lines is
rotting.
– That is the advantage of synthetic fiber lines
even though they "snap back" when parted.

Synthetic Line Snapback

Synthetic lines, when parted, react like a
rubber band. Always keep this in mind when
working with synthetic line. Stand in safe
zones.

Pay attention to "tattletales" which will part
before the line they are spliced into parts.

Life lines, life rails, and safety
chains

Life lines
– Flexible lines rigged between stanchions to prevent falls
(note: not to lean on).

Life rails
– Permanent rails set up to prevent falls.

Safety Chains
– Are rigged around an open hatch in a deck.
– They prevent people from falling where a permanent
fixture is not possible.

Conclusion

Common sense is the name of the game. If
it looks wrong, it probably is.

Thorough training and briefing will pay off in
the long run.

Doing the job correctly usually means doing
it slowly.

The number of accidents in
the fleet today is
surprisingly low
considering the type of
work done. It is up to the
officer to keep it that way
