R

I

including nitrogen, flue gas and other gases that may be given

off by cargo, including proper procedures when used or

contained in a confined space/area

Hazards include:

- Nitrogen is colourless and odourless with no warning

properties, and can only be detected through the use of

instruments. One deep breath of nitrogen can prove fatal due

to the nitrogen blocking the carbon dioxide, which the body

needs to regulate the breathing process.Nitrogen can be used

for blowing lines, cofferdams, stripping operations, blanketing

for quality reasons or in the use as an inert gas medium. A

vessel fitted with nitrogen supply units, generators, bottles,

liquid nitrogen or engaged in a trade where it may be received

from the terminal should have effectively implemented detailed

procedures to manage the hazards.

Coppola

These procedures should consist of but not be limited to:

Safety training for all crew in the hazards of Nitrogen. The use

of personal oxygen monitors. The use of filter masks should

Massimiliano

not be permitted during nitrogen operations. Restricted access

to areas which may be affected by nitrogen during inerting /

venting operation. Notices displayed at the gangway and in

other locations, as appropriate, warning personnel when

nitrogen operations are taking place. Detailed procedures

when personnel may be exposed to Nitrogen.

Additionally it should be noted that :

- Carbon Monoxide is colourless, odourless and toxic, and can

by

be given off by some vegetable oils.

Purchased

- Flue gas and IGS can generate carbon monoxide and carbon

dioxide;

- H2S is toxic and at high concentrations is odourless;

- Gases and inert gases can concentrate in confined spaces

and areas, including on-deck areas (i.e. deck frames, where

other structure blocks wind, etc.)
