ACCESS RULES (work for seafarers)
The Merchant Shipping Regulations will apply and the guidance contained in Chapter 8 of the Code of Safe Working Practices for Merchant Seafarers 1991 will be as follows.
Access to shore or to another vessel must be safe, quickly established, properly equipped or deployed, safely operated, adjusted as necessary, and adequately lit. Any person boarding or disembarking the vessel is required to use the access provided. In addition, it must be located on top of an approved ladder that complies with the relevant regulations or equivalent standard and has an appropriate guard along its entire length. If a bulwark ladder is provided, it must comply with a shipbuilding industry standard or equivalent and be properly and securely secured. The ladder must be used with absolute caution at an angle greater than 30 degrees from horizontal.
A rope ladder may only be used for access between ships and boats with significantly different free sides and where there is no safer means of access. When used, the rope ladder must be securely fastened to the boat and have slip-resistant foot supports of at least 400mm x 115mm at equal distances at 310+/-5mm intervals.
If the length of the pilot ladder exceeds 1.5 m, then it must be equipped with spreaders of at least 1.8 m in length. The lowest spreader must be the fifth step from the bottom, and the interval between spreaders should not exceed nine steps. Steps must be secured so that they do not twist, turn or tilt. The support for a rope ladder must be strong enough, and the ladder must always be either fully extended or fully extended upward (a job for sailors).
A portable ladder can be used where safer means of access do not exist. Such a staircase
must be used at an angle of 60 to 75 degrees from horizontal. It needs to be expanded
at least one meter above the top landing position unless alternative hand supports are provided. It must be securely fastened against slipping, failure or lateral movement and must have a clearance of at least 150mm behind the crossbars.
Means of access and approaches to them must be well lit.
Where there is a risk of a person falling, a safety net should be installed that spans the entire length of the access means.
A lifebuoy with a self-activating light, as well as a separate flotation line attached to the quoit, must be ready for use on board the vessel at the access point.
If the inner end of the access device rests on a bulwark or rail, care must be taken to ensure that the bulwark, rail or other support is sufficiently strong. Any gap between the bulwark ladder and the means of access must be enclosed by a fence up to 1 meter high.
Access must be located outside of cargo work areas.
All access equipment must be maintained in good condition and inspected from time to time during use to ensure that security is maintained.
Where access is provided from shore, the master must still ensure that the access is safe to use (seafarer's job).
Access granted while in dry dock is not subject to ship regulations. However, if the ship's crew are asked to use unsafe access, this should be immediately brought to the attention of all necessary measures.
