Safety is an absolute priority in ATI.
On the 15th of September, 2013, a vessel crew member
was killed during cargo discharge operations. A major
contributory factor to the incident is the substandard
lighting condition inside the vessel.
In our effort to prevent similar incidents, ATI is issuing
this safety handout as a guide for vessels on various
unsafe conditions inside a vessel and the safety
requirements that must be implemented to address
them.
In the event that similar unsafe conditions are found in
any vessel, ATI reserves the right to cease operations
until the unsafe condition is fully rectified.
Please note that unsafe conditions are not limited to the
circumstances included in this handout. Operations may
be delayed or may cease if the safety of personnel are
compromised. We will issue updates of this handout to
capture other situations that may be observed in the
future.
If you have any questions or have any concerns, please
don’t hesitate to call +632 528 6000 Loc. 332 to speak
to an ATI Safety Officer.
