Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Port work is still considered an occupation with very high accident rates. This essential code of practice, intended to replace both the second edition of the ILO Code of Practice on Safety and Health in Dock Work (1977) and the ILO Guide to Safety and Health in Dock Work (1976), provides valuable advice and assistance to all those charged with the management, operation, maintenance and development of ports and their safety. Offering many detailed technical illustrations and examples of good practice, the provisions of this code cover all aspects of port work where goods or passengers are loaded or unloaded to or from ships. It is not limited to international trade but applies equally to domestic operations, including those on inland waterways. New topics are: traffic and vehicular movements of all types; activities on shore and on ship; amended levels of lighting provision; personal protective equipment; ergonomics; provisions for disabled persons; and the specific handling of certain cargoes, for example logs, scrap metal and dangerous goods.

Book excerpt: Notes that protection of the safety and health of workers should always have the highest priority and should therefore be part of any management system.

Shows that the International Labour Organization (ILO) has adopted three instruments which provide the standards to be observed by governments, employers and workers to ensure the safety and health of personnel working in the port environment. These are the: Occupational Safety and Health (Dock Work) Convention, 1979 (No. 152), Occupational Safety and Health (Dock Work) Recommendation, 1979 (No. 160), and Safety and health in ports, ILO code of practice (2005).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issue of safe ports and berths naturally stems from the vessel’s operation. Safe Port and Safe Berth delineates a meaning of safety under English and American law, discusses a standard of culpability of the parties, and describes on physical, political, administrative and ecological conditions. These conditions of the port are discussed with examples of court’s decisions and arbitration awards. The book provides a view of legal practitioners on piracy, radioactive contamination, ocean pollution by oil spills and decease outbreak on board and their interplay with port safety. The book is written as a tool to ship brokers, owners, charterers, arbitrators and courts in an attempt to minimize the risk in global trade and to bring certainty to interpretation of charterparties.

Download or read book Maritime Security written by United States Government Accountability Office and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because the safety and economic security of the United States depend in substantial part on the security of its 361 seaports, the United States has a vital national interest in maritime security. The Security and Accountability for Every Port Act (SAFE Port Act), modified existing legislation and created and codified new programs related to maritime security. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its U.S. Coast Guard, Transportation Security Agency, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection have key maritime security responsibilities. This testimony synthesizes the results of GAO's completed work and preliminary observations from GAO's ongoing work related to the SAFE Port Act pertaining to (1) overall port security, (2) security at individual facilities, and (3) cargo container security. To perform this work GAO visited domestic and overseas ports; reviewed agency program documents, port security plans, and post-exercise reports; and interviewed officials from the federal, state, local, private, and international sectors.
