These guidelines have been produced in response to concerns voiced by the Marine Accident Investigation Branch that complacency was becoming increasingly significant as a causal factor in marine accidents. Observation, intervention and the proactive reporting of unsafe acts and conditions is the best way to improve safety culture – this Guide explains how to implement a behavioural safety system to achieve this and provides (on a mini CD that comes with the Guide) all the resources required in a format that allows the printing off of multiple copies.

This guide is the second edition, and helps ensure and improve the safety of supply and anchor handling operations in the North West European Area (NWEA).

It provides guidance on eliminating or reducing hazards or risks during supply and anchor handling operations.

This pocket sized guide uses a sliding strip to demonstrate the different effects of drugs making them easily identifiable in the workplace. It also gives physical symptoms, advice on what to look for and the dangers associated with the usage of the drug.

A clear and authoritative guide to the practical application by ship's masters of the disciplinary procedures laid down in the Code of Conduct for the Merchant Navy. The Guide is a must for all ship's masters. It is essential that the procedures laid down in the Guide be strictly followed in all cases of disciplinary action against seafarers at sea, in order to minimise the risk of costly claims of unfair dismissal against employers.

The Common Marine Inspection Document (CMID) aims to reduce the number of audits carried out on individual marine vessels through the adoption of a common auditing standard for the offshore marine industry. A competent and independent third party should complete the audit. As a 'living' document, the CMID can be kept updated on board, so that the time required for an audit can be reduced.

Guidance on use of the CMID sets out a worked example together with notes to assist auditors in completing the document. The guidance also identifies sections for which vessel personnel can prepare by assembling appropriate documentation prior to the auditor's arrival.

These Guidelines, published by the UK Offshore Operators Association (UKOOA), provide guidance to Operators, Owners, Logistic companies and especially Masters and crew of offshore support vessels and Offshore Installation Managers (OIMs) on avoiding and reducing the hazards and risks associated with the movement of Cargos to and from Offshore Locations.
