CRUISE SHIP Safe Working Procedures & Risk Assessment

Cruise Ship Safe Working Procedures – Version 4 – Reviewed August 2017

Both Queens and Princes wharves present a variety of hazards & risks to all personnel operating on cruise ship days, as well as passengers, crew and members of the public. The following guidelines are important to ensure that a safe environment is maintained at all times. Any personnel not adhering to these procedures will be removed from the area immediately. **SAFETY IS EVERYONE’S RESPONSIBILITY**

PEDESTRIANS, VEHICLES & MACHINERY

All non-operational roadways are managed by a specific Traffic Management (P4G) team.

P4G will deploy necessary safety barriers & cones to ensure it is safe for all pedestrians.

P4G will safely control flow of pedestrians & vehicles as required and aligned to the defined Traffic Management Plan.

Pedestrians are to make every effort to keep to footpaths or the side of roadways to permit vehicles & machinery to pass safely.

All vehicles must adhere to the wharf speed limit 5kph. All vehicles & machinery to have lights illuminated during hours of darkness.

OPERATIONAL AREAS

Only essential personnel are to be permitted access to operational areas.

NO visiting friends or sightseeing.

All operational personnel to wear Hi-Viz vests or jacket when inside operational areas. White overalls are not acceptable Hi-Viz.

No open toed footwear is permitted – no jandals/sandals! Only closed /covered footwear is permitted.

Where practical, all operations on the wharf are to cease whilst the ship is arriving or departing and there are linesmen operating on the wharf aprons.

Keep clear of stevedoring activities.

Keep clear of stores, garbage, gangway and K-9 operations.

Stay away from wharf edge unnecessarily to prevent falling into the water

Advise stevedores of your presence if you need to complete any function within the operational areas.

If there is a need to move operational equipment to/from storage areas/terminal, ensure you are visible and that the stevedores are aware of your movements.

Security guards operating within the operational areas must remain at their position and not wander unnecessarily through the operational areas.

When walking through operational areas, remain close to buildings &/or fence lines.

GIVE MOVING MACHINERY RIGHT OF WAY!

Vehicle & Machinery speed limits must be kept to a minimum.

Report any unsafe activities & remain vigilant for ALL users’ safety in operational areas.

INSIDE CRUISE TERMINALS

Use handrails when using the stairs, lifts and escalators.

Ensure all electrical cables are either securely taped to the floor or overhead to remove any tripping hazards.

Minor changes in floor levels will be demarked with (adhesive) safety warning tape.

Appropriate way-finding, informational and hazard identification signs will be deployed.

Any wet floors, floor defects & obstructions and all other faults with the terminals are to be reported to PoAL cruise staff immediately.

PASSENGER GANGWAYS

Gangways are only to be operated by authorised personnel.

No climbing on the gangway structure, services ladders must be used.

ANY FAULT WITH ANY GANGWAY MUST BE REPORTED TO POAL CRUISE STAFF IMMEDIATELY
