ISM Code : WHAT IS IT ?

The ISM Code, or International

Safety

Management Code, is:An international instrument carried out by the International Maritime Organisation ( IMO) with the objectives of ensuring safety

at

sea by prevention of body injuries, ship’s damage and pollution of environment, especially the marine environment.Slide5

How to

implement

it ?The ISM code organizes the management of safety and pollution prevention inside a system called Safety Management system or SMS.

It

applies

to all SOLAS SHIPS operating internationally and the MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Units) as well as Self propelled units engaged in an international businessImplementation carried out before July 2002Slide6

To

ensure

safety at sea, prevention of human injury or loss of life and avoidance damage to the environment in

particular

to the marine

environment and damage to propertyObjectives of the codeSlide7

To

reach

these objectives, the Code requires to implement a Safety Management System in the Company which includes: - A Company’s safety and environment protection policy

- A

definition

of everybody’s responsibility in the Company and onboard the MODU - Practical measures to deal with this management of safety The SMSSlide8

Why

such

a code ?While the global fleet is continuously increasing by number of ships, their size and lives

embarked

or

dangerous goods transported..…This code is an attempt to reduce the number of maritime accidents which are mainly provoked by human errorsSlide9

How to

reduce

the

risk of human error ?By requiring a minimum organisation of the company and the unitBy requiring minimum actions inside a mangement systemBy

ensuring

finally an improvement of the safety culture of those going at seaSlide10

Why

doing

that today? (years 2000)After the results of the HOFE’s disaster (Herald of Free Enterprise), IMO and the maritime industry have

proposed

via the

human factor working group…A code for safe management of shipping (companies and ships) the ISM code with the current limitation:More than 500 GT and trading at international levelSlide11

What

means

trading at international level ?Working in international waters or in waters under the juridiction of a different state than the flag state of the ship or the MODUSlide12

Results

of the

study

12 weaknesses have been detected:Slide13

Main causes of

human

error in maritime accidents1-lack of Safety and environmental protection policy within the maritime companies & their ships 2- Systematic lack of analysis of the risks

involved within

the maritime

activities 3-Lack of evaluation of critical elements or systems on board ships or MODUsSlide14

More

weak

points

 4-Failure to define the responsibilities ashore 5-Lack of personnel competency at all levels ashore and aboard

 6-

Lack of

complete written operational procedures on boardSlide15

7

-

lack of general preparation

to deal with the emergencies situations happening on board ships 8-lack of human contacts between the ship’s and shore personnel

 9-

lack of documentation and up dating

, particularly on board shipsMore causes of the ISM codeSlide16

More

weak

points

10-lack of systematic exploitation of the experience feedback11-lack of planning and follow-up of the

maintenance

of the ship and

equipment12 - lack of internal verifications and reviewsSlide17

12 -

lack of internal controls and checksSlide18

In order

to

rectify

The ISM code set up 12 mandatory correctives actionsThe 12 correctives actions of the ISM codeSlide19

 1- A clearly defined

policy

within

a SMS with a clear definition of responsibilities from the top to the bottom of the hierarchy. 2- A system of procedures covering all ship’s operations

 3- A

system of identification

, evaluation of risks in operation in shipboard activities Slide20

4- A system of identification of the ship’s critical equipment or systems

and associated measures to improve their reliability

 5- An integrated system of response for emergencies applicable to company & ships or MODUs 6- A system of planned maintenance and inspections of the shipsSlide21

7- An operating system of feedback

in all our

activities

8- A management system for maritime documentation and its up dating 9- A communication system aboard and ashore Slide22

 10- A system of evaluation of knowledge and continuous

training for crews

 11 A system of auto

-control by internal inspections and audits in order to measure the progres gained and to review the SMS if necessary12 An external control deciding a compulsory international recognition: the ISM certification by the flag !

Originality

of the ISM code

In

order to ensure a communication between the unit and the top managementThe ISM code has invented the DPA (designated Person Ashore)Which has a role of transmission but not only

…

… It has a rôle of monitoring:

adequate ressource is provided to the crew and facilitator in case of conflict with middle executivesSlide25

HOW a SMS WORKS ?

In a SMS

we

:Specify and write what must be done: manuals, planning, orders

Do

what

is written : procedures, check-lists, instructions, Write what has just been done : recording Slide28

Then

Control

regularly

what must be done : patrols, inspections and auditsCorrect defects, errors, omissions : corrective actionsReport and analyze incidents/accidents or near-misses

in

order

to prevent that they do not happen againIn an unique goal : improvement in Safety, our safety! Slide29

WHICH BENEFITS CAN WE GET FROM

an ISM

CONFORMITY

?To develop a Safety

Culture in the

Company

and on boardTo obtain contracts : to day, the customer requires ISM Certification all along the oil production chainTo preserve the confidence of our customers: Safety and Quality are company’s images

to

improve

the

results

of

our

insurance

contracts

because

of the

reduction

of

risks

for the

insurance

company

(

reduction

of premium!)

Slide30

More

benefit

To

remain competitive in a difficult market where competition is severeTo reduce

our

risks of accidents with their consequences: For our crews: loss of lives and injuries For our environment: marine pollutionSlide31

Which

benefit

for ISM conformity ?For any Company to-day

,

it

is very hard to survive after a major accident: Enormous media impact Immediate loss of customers Enormous compensation finesSlide32

ELEMENTS to

be

memorized absolutely - Practical definition of the ISM Code - Content of our SMSSlide33

DEFINITION

of the ISM Code

It

is an international mandatory tool for the prevention of accidents at sea, which

consists

basically in a management of the human resources in an offshore company, either in the shore-based services or aboard each unit Slide34

For that purpose, the ISM code

establishes, inside a SMS ( Safety Management System), the framework for an improvable

reduction program of risks generated by the human activities. dealing with safety matters and pollution prevention. Slide35

CONTENT of OUR SMS

1

) A definition of clear and measurable objectives (code §1.2) for prevention of accidents, developed in a commitment Safety and Environment protection policy (§ 1.2.2) including safe practices in ship operations and a safe working environment as well as continuous improvement of safety management skills of personnel ashore and aboard ships and ensuring compliance with mandatory rules while taking into account codes, recommendations or guidelines of IMO, ILO, Class, flag and/or the industry which concern its activities (§1.2.3)

     Slide36

2-

An

identification and assessment of risks (§1.2.2.2)

to its ships, personnel and the environment pertaining to its activities in order to issue and implement suitable risk reduction measures in the framework of a Ship Occupational Health and Safety Programme (SOHSP) which includes a systematic formal assessment of its implementation in order to ensure a continuous improvement in an accident prevention culture.Slide37

3-The i

nvolvement

of the

hierarchy (leadership) jointly with a definition of responsibilities (code §3) of all persons, ashore as well as aboard, dealing with safety and pollution prevention in ship’s management, particularly for the Ship’s Master (§5) which must follow SOLAS & MLC requirements concerning his assignment and must includes the effective participation of all employees ashore or aboard via the SOHSP.Slide38

4-The

designation (§4) of one

, or more, qualified and trained

person(s) ashore (called DPAs), in charge of monitoring the safety and pollution prevention aspects of each ship’s operations mainly by managing the company’s SMS. This person(s) being also the interface between the company management highest level and the persons on board ships. In addition, this DPA ensures that adequate resources and shore-based support as required by ships are supplied by the Company

mainly by monitoring and mediation with company’s departments directors when necessary

.

4Slide39

5-Ensures

each company’s ship is

adequately manned

in order to encompass all aspects of maintaining safe operations on board with qualified and medically-fit seafarers recruited in conformity with national and international requirements such as the STCW convention, establishes familiarization procedures with the ship, her equipment, her operations and the management of crew’s and other staff’s safety qualifications, including in the ISM Code and the Company’s SMS, as well as its participation to the SOHSP via a continuous training plan aboard the ship, as well as ashore for involved personnel, which includes the adequate renewal of the certificates of competency.5Slide40

6-

The establishment of the

shipboard operational procedures, plans & instructions

(§7) relating to safety of personnel, the ship and protection of the environment (waste, energy efficiency, ballast water management plans, SOPEP etc…) The associated tasks of each qualified person on board ships should include a job safety analysis of the function in the aim to set up a continuous improvement of the SOHSP. In case of third party personnel employment, it must be informed of the applicable company’s requirements and must follow them. 6Slide41

7-

An aboard and ashore organization for

emergency situation preparedness

of the master, the crew and the company (§8): muster lists, preparation of damage control plan or co-operation plan for passenger ships (when required) plus training for crew, shore personnel and shore-based crisis cells mainly by performing periodical drills and exercises via an integrated system of contingency planning following the IMO recommendations for shipboard emergencies.7-Slide42

8-The

report

and

analysis (with formal internal investigation when needed) of any non-conformity, accidents or near-miss (§9) including the management of the company’s experience feed-back in order to improve safety and pollution prevention matters by implementing corrective and preventive actions as required.8-Slide43

9-

Up to dating, accurate and user friendly shipboard

technical operating and maintenance manuals

within a maintenance plan (§10) ensuring care, in conformity, at a minimum, with the standard required by the builders and the classification societies, and a continuous control (inspections) of the ship and equipment.Slide44

10-

A

management

of the ship’s safety-critical equipment and the related specific measures for improving their reliability, in particular the preparation to operate them in a degraded status by issuing stand-by or replacement procedures in case of their sudden failure (§10.3). 10-Slide45

11- A management of an efficient routine or emergency

internal

communication ashore as well as aboard and between shore and ship (code § 4 & 6.7)Slide46

12-A control of the specific

documentation

(hardware or electronic

) aboard as well as ashore and the organization of the “regulation watch” in the company (§11).Slide47

13-An

organization of a

self-verification

of the SMS operation for the entire company (§12) by periodical activities such as inspections, internal audits, Master’s and Management’s periodical reviews)13-Slide48

14-A

management of a

conformity certification

process performed by the Flag Administration or a Recognized Organization on its behalf (ISM code Part B).14-Slide49

NB

: This study

above is

in conformity with the 2014 version of the ISM Code (in force 1.1.2015), the requirements of § 4.3 of the MLC convention 2006, the most recent IMO/MSC circulars on the implementation of the ISM code and the SOHSP as well as the other IMO or ILO instruments dealing with safety and pollution prevention from ships or units.NB Slide50
