This video explains the onboard safety management structure on ships, focusing on the role of the Safety Officer, the Safety Committee, and the Permit to Work system, which are critical for preventing accidents and ensuring compliance with international safety standards.

The role of the Ship Safety Officer is explained in detail. The safety officer acts as an advisor to the Master and crew, ensuring that health and safety requirements are properly implemented on board. Duties include conducting risk assessments, identifying hazards, monitoring unsafe practices, investigating incidents, and preparing safety reports to improve onboard safety culture.

The video highlights the importance of maintaining safe working environments on ships. This includes ensuring clear access routes, proper lighting, safe walkways, adequate ventilation in accommodation, machinery spaces, and enclosed spaces, in accordance with SOLAS requirements. Correct storage of hazardous materials, dangerous goods, tools, and equipment is emphasized to prevent accidents and fire risks.

Machinery safety is covered, stressing the need for proper guarding of moving parts, clear operating instructions, and visible safety signage to warn crew members of potential dangers.

A major focus is given to the Permit to Work system, which is mandatory for hazardous operations such as enclosed space entry, working aloft, hot work, high-voltage electrical work, and other high-risk tasks. The video explains why permits are required, their limited validity, the authorization process, communication between departments, and the importance of closing permits after job completion.

The role of the Ship Safety Committee is also explained. The committee is chaired by the Master and includes officers and crew representatives. Its purpose is to review accidents, discuss safety concerns, improve procedures, and ensure compliance with company and statutory safety requirements. The importance of proper safety meeting records and follow-up actions is highlighted.

This video is highly useful for Merchant Navy cadets, deck and engine officers, safety officers, and candidates preparing for MMD orals and shipboard safety assessments.
