...Topics Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting on Board a Ship In: Other Topics Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting on Board a Ship INTRODUCTION Every year more and more ships are lost through fire and collision. Shipboard fire alone, however, results in more total losses of ships than any other form of casualty. The most common causes of shipboard fire are: maintenance, burning and welding are responsible for nearly 40 percent of all outbreaks. Smoking leads to countless fires that break out when no one expects. Lack of attention, spontaneous combustion and electrical faults are the major causes. The engine room is at special risk from flashbacks in oilfired boilers, leaky pipings carrying oil, overheated bearings and even the accumulation of rubbish (oil rags, dirty oil, tins of oil, etc.). According to Mikhail Grigorevich Stavitskii 1983, if most shipboard fires can be prevented, then who is responsible for preventing them? The answer is that fire prevention is the shared duty of each and every member of the crew. No fire prevention effort or program can be successful unless it involves everyone aboard ship. We have noted that every crewmember is responsible for the fire aboard ship. Similarly, every crewmember has a role in the ship's fire prevention program. Because attitude is so much a part of the fire prevention, it is also the most important part of the fire prevention program. So as with the Fire Figthing, if there is a fire aboard ship, everyone aboard ship must form...

...Imagine being out to sea for your first time onboard a Carnival Cruise ship on a three day/four night cruise to the Western Caribbean. The weather is perfect, the seas are calm, and outside on the sundeck the entertainment on board the ship (along with a few mixed drinks) relaxes all of your worries away when all of a sudden you smell something that you shouldn’t when you are 150 miles away from land; smoke. Smoke caused by a fire in the engine room on the Carnival Cruise Ship Triumph. That’s exactly what passengers told reporters after returning to port. What happened? What caused the fire? Did response crews respond quick enough to prevent the spread of the fire? Were the appropriate maintenance checks completed as scheduled? This case study will examine these questions and others in an attempt to identify potential risk associated with passenger vessels. The Problem Improper Maintenance Upkeep In December of 2011, the Staff Chief Engineer Handing-Over (SMS Procedures, 2011) reported that three of the six Diesel Generators were...

...Question 1) Develop and update legal knowledge Five areas of business compliance required by restaurants operating within NSW include: Business names A business name is a name or title under which a person or other legal entity may conduct its business (Vickery and Pendleton, 2009). It is necessary to register so that a person may find out the details of a proprietor where the business is not trading under the owner’s name. Registering a business name does not give ownership of that name to the proprietor nor does it give exclusive rights to use the whole or part of its name. It also does not prevent the name being used by a person who has registered it as a trademark. When registering a business name, there are a number of fees applicable to certain circumstances. Processing fees attached to the total fee are retained even if the application is unsuccessful. To apply for registration of a business name is $152 including a $26 processing fee. Application for renewal of registration of a business name is $115 including a $17 processing fee. Application for restoration of a business name is $131 including $33 processing fee. And an application for replacement of certificate of registration is $17 including processing charges. Both applications for renewal of registration and restoration of a business name are discounted by $5 if done online. The department of Fair Trading may refuse an application to register a business name if it is seen to be the same as an existing registered...

...2 Negligence: The Basic Principles of Duty of Care The arrangement of this and subsequent chapters Negligence is a large and amorphous subject, and all parts of the law on it are interlocking. It is often difficult to understand one part without having studied the whole, and therefore in arranging the material I have decided to set out the basic principles first, leaving the more sophisticated developments until later. Accordingly the next three chapters on duty, standard of care, causation and remoteness of damage aim to explain the basic negligence action, principally in relation to an action for personal injuries or property damage where the concepts are easiest to understand. More difficult duty problems, such as liability for statements or for pure economic loss, will be dealt with later. Duty is but one element in the tort of negligence, for it must be shown that not only was the defendant under a duty towards the claimant to be careful, but also that he failed to achieve the required standard of care and that that failure caused the damage, and finally that the damage was not too remote a consequence of the act. Duty is about relationships, and it must be shown that the particular defendant stood in the required relationship to the claimant such that he came under an obligation to use care towards him. This relationship is sometimes referred to as ‘proximity’. In cases of personal injury or damage to property the necessary relationship is established if the defendant ought...

Indeed, good housekeeping practices – itemized below, eliminate clutter which is a common cause of accidents, such as slips, trips, and falls, and fires and explosions, reduce the chances of harmful materials entering the body (e.g., dusts, vapors), and improve productivity (the right tools and materials for the job will be easy to find). An orderly workplace will impress all who enter it – employees, visitors, customers, etc., help the company to keep it’s inventory to a minimum (easier to keep an accurate count of inventories), help the company to make the best use of its space, and make the workplace neat, comfortable and pleasant – not a dangerous eyesore. More importantly, good housekeeping improves the company’s image - it reflects a well-run business, which projects product integrity. Cleaning, dusting and mopping Keep work areas, floors and lighting sources clean, dry and in good condition. Keep aisles, exits, entrances, sprinklers, fire alarms and fire extinguishers clean and clear. Vacuum or wet sweep dusty areas frequently. Clean up spills and leaks of any type quickly and properly.

With his kind permission, the ICRC has translated it and adapted it to the general plan of one of its recent publications, Basic Rules of the Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols. The analysis of case studies is (if I may be allowed the metaphor) a sort of obstacle race over IHL territory. It is the rider who, on completing his circuit faultlessly, realizes the majesty and beauty of horsemanship. And it is by overcoming all the difficulties of these cases that the importance of IHL, and its applicability to present conditions, will be realized and IHL better understood. The cases are admittedly difficult, but they can be an...
