Remember that, according to the EC laws, until the above materials will not be consigned to
the collector, you will be considered holder and consequently persecuted in case of abusive
dumping. In case the trash bins should not be available in the harbour area, the competent
authority for the dumping is always the Harbour master’s office.
Accident’s prevention
Although recommendations are for the large part treated in each chapter of the manual, we think
useful to remind you some general rules:
•
First of all, it is important to check that the compulsory equipment belonging to the security
have the approved label and that the periodical check is subjected to short dated. These kind
of equipment include:
-
Floating devices (life jackets, life buoys, horseshoe buoys with floating lights and life
raft or inflatable life raft );
-
Distress signals (smoke signals, flares, EPIRB and/or LOCAT, VHF e SSB);
-
Fixed and movable extinguishers fire (an adequate number, well indicated and of easy
access);
-
Approved first aid kit with valid medicaments.
Advices
•
Make sure that the safety equipments (like life raft and inflatable raft etc.)
are always save and ready for use.
•
Do not leave opened hatches, portholes and forepeak. They should be dangerous pitfalls!
•
Always check that handrail, deck walkways and the non-skid on the top of the
plexiglas
, on
the deck panel and on the stairs are well fixed, in good conditions and free from slippery and
oily substances.
•
Check periodically the efficiency of steering wheel instruments, standing and running
riggings, winches and blocks, etc.
•
Avoid to approach to the engine when in movement.
•
Cantiere del Pardo delivers all its boats well finished and therefore free from accidental
abrasions. In case you should add extra fittings, make sure not to leave exposed sharp and
cutting objects such as screws, bolts or edgewise in general.
•
We want to remind you that the above mentioned International Convention of London for
the human survival at sea provides that at least once a year, or before any transcontinental
voyage, all passengers and crew should carry out a rescue simulation introduced by seven or
more whistles or siren sounds and that at the end this operation should be recorded in the log
book..
•
Finally we recommend you to use while manoeuvring deck shoes and gloves .
