1. Introduction- References -

To assist the officers in charge of maintenance and those performing the inspection and maintenance, the following publications have been used as reference in the preparation of this presentation: -

HSC Safety Records Folder (Ref HSC/SER01/98 REV 00); HSC Quality & Fleet Manuals Volume 1, 2 & 3; HSC Operational Procedures & Contingency Plans Manual (OPCP); SOLAS 2001 Edition; OCIMF Vessel Inspection Questionnaire (2nd Edition 2000); CDI Ship Inspection Report 2000 Edition with further reference to the

IBC Code & BCH Code; & ISGOTT 23rd Edition.

! Important ! On board please consult the latest editions of above publications or documents!

6

Cross Referencing

Wherever relevant publications are indicated - these documents MUST be consulted for more detailed information;

SOLAS is in a continual state of update and amendment and every effort is made by Hanseatic to keep the SRF updated.

7

Instructions for Onboard Maintenance

Instructions should include: Checklist for use when carrying out the inspection; Maintenance & repair instructions; Schedule of periodic maintenance; Diagram of lubrication points with recommended

lubricant; List of replaceable spare parts; List of sources of spare parts (authorized dealers); Log for maintaining records of inspections &

maintenance.

8

Responsibility for Maintenance

Overall responsibility lies with the Master;

However, the Chief Officer is designated as the Safety Officer onboard and he is to be assisted by the Second Engineer;

Actual inspection and maintenance work may be delegated to Junior Officers and Ratings, provided they are competent to carry it out.

9

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.

10

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.

11

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 requiredand 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

12

State of Readiness

Information given on maintenance & inspection is for guidance only;

YOUYOU must determine the level of maintenance required in order to keep the equipment in a constant state of readiness.

13

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

14

do not “OVER” inspect

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

This is NOT NOT true, records will NOTNOT 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.

15

Hanseatic Safety Records Folder (SRF)

Contains details of all Safety Equipment carried onboard your vessel; &

Identifies the maintenance & inspections that are to be carried out to the Safety Equipment so as to meet the requirements of SOLAS, CDI & the OCIMF VIQ.

16

Hanseatic Safety Records Folder (SRF)

This is the only document onboard for maintaining records relating to the safety equipment;

The latest test certificates form shore side testing centres must be kept in Master’s File 2.0 (Minor Certificates - Safety);

MUST be maintained on the Bridge.

Safety RecordFolder (SRF)

18

Not Applicable Sections of the SRF

Designed for use onboard any type of vessel; Includes requirements for equipment carried by all

ship types; Some parts of the folder may not apply to all

vessels; Can be removed and a notation “Not Applicable to

this ship” made against the relevant section in the List of Contents - refer to HSC Operational Bulletin QA/004/AW/98.

19

Entries into SRF Entries must contain specific details

of what action or maintenance has been taken;

Entries must also include reference to other instruction, i.e. “checks carried out as per maker’s instructions section 8.5 - dogs on access doors lubricated and adjusted”;

Each entry must be signed by the appropriate person carrying out the work - if an engineer or electrician tests the emergency lighting, they must sign the entry.

20

SRF v Deck Log Book

Is an appendix to the Deck Log Book and MUST be completed in INK;

Time & Type of drill must be recorded in the Deck Log Book;

Full details of Drills, Inspections and Maintenance of Safety Equipment must be made in the SRF;

Please note that the Official Logbook must still contain entries regarding Drills & Inspections and Maintenance of Safety Equipment.

21

Copying Pages

Only original pages of the present revision of the SRF must be used;

DO NOT make photocopies or reproduce pages on a computer; &

If you require additional pages use the pages in section 6 of the SRF or contact HSC QMS Dept.

22

Form 67 A/B The SRF is an “onboard” record

of the testing, inspection and maintenance of all safety equipment;
