FIGHT AGAINST FIRE
It is the owner's or the skipper's responsibility:
- To have the extinguishers checked in pursuance of the instructions given.
- Use extinguisher replacements with equivalent features (same capacity and fire
resistance) if the ones in place are out of date or have been used.
- To tell the crew:
- where the extinguishers are and how they work,
- the position of the remote fixed extinguisher control,
- where the emergency exits are.
- Make sure the extinguishers can be reached easily when people are on board.
- Make sure that the ventilation openings in the engine (and generator, if installed)
compartment are well cleared.
Keep the bilge clean. Regularly check that there is no fuel or gas vapour.
Always fasten the curtains open when the gas cooker is working.
For protection of the deck, the vessel owner/user should provide at least one fire bucket
complete with rope in an immediately accessible position.
Do not store combustible materials in the engine compartment.
If non-combustible materials are stored in the engine compartment they must be secured so
there is no danger of them falling on machinery and they do not obstruct access to and from
the compartment.
Exits other than the doors and hatches of the main companionway, equipped with permanently
fitted ladders, are identified with a symbol.
WARNING
- Keep an extinguisher handy in case the fire should start again.
- Fire fighting equipment (portable extinguishers, fire blankets and buckets)
must be permanently and immediately accessible.
DANGER
To enable functioning of the fixed fire extinguishers, the safety pins on each
extinguisher must all be removed completely.
