PROCEDURE
General
The Company recognize s that no business is perfect and particularly in the Shipping Industry – ships operations will experience accidents, incidents and hazardous occurrences by the dangerous nature of the work.
Having recognized the above, the Company has implemented this procedure to encourage the reporting of non-con formances, accidents, incidents, and hazardous occurrences, so that they can be investigated and analysed with the objective of improving quality, safety of the ship, personnel and pollution prevention.
Non conformance will b e normally raised during Internal Safety Audits but it must be remembered that accidents, incidents and hazardous occurrences are not non-conformances until they have been investigated and analysed to see if the Safety System can be improved because of identified weaknesses.
In the past, personnel have been afraid of reporting problems for fear of their jobs, so this procedure is written to encourage the reporting of problems so that everyone, shore and sea personnel, can learn and improve this system.
To avoid confusion, a non -conformance means an activity which is not going according to plan, or personnel are not following the system.
Repairs, break downs and defects are not non-conformance unless they distinctly affect quality or safety and a weakness is identified in the system.
The process controls procedure and maintenance of the ship and equipment and describes the method of reporting defects and actions to be taken.

any nature is identified and corrective action taken by:-
