2.6. Become acquainted with company policy and procedures of every shipping company. Take into account new words and collocations.
COMPANY POLICY AND PROCEDURES
The International Safety Management (SMS) Code requires every shipowning or managing company to have a Safety Management System (SMS). The SMS must include a safety and environmental protection policy that provides functional requirements for the SMS. The SMS should give practical guidance on all aspects of safe and environmentally responsible management and operation on board the company’s ships. The company is responsible for ensuring that the safety and environmental protection policy is implemented ashore and on board.
As a part of the SMS, each ship should have a manual or series of manuals that provide the instructions, procedures and guidance to implement the SMS on board. This is called the safety management manual.
As a minimum, the SMS and safety management manual should include:
-a system for allocating engineering watchkeeping duties and responsibilities for operational procedures;
-guidelines for ensuring that crew members are trained and competent to undertake their duties on board;
-procedures for engine room operations, including checklists;
-procedures for critical operations, including bunkering, port arrival and departure;
-procedures for preventing and controlling pollution, including activities such as oil spill response and disposal of waste;
-emergency response procedures and instructions;
-reporting procedures for accidents;
-maintenance procedures, including control of work and permit to work systems;
-a Planned Maintenance System (PMS);
-procedures for crew familiarization and handover at crew changes;
-company contacts, including the Designated Person Ashore (DPA) as required by the ISM Code.
The safety management manual and associated procedures should be developed in line with the KISS principle — Keep It Short and Simple. A concise -, easy- to-understand manual is a useful tool which personnel will actually implement.
