Enclosed space entry : hazards on tanker vessels

Izradbom ovoga završnog rada obradit će se tema zatvorenih brodskih prostora i ulaska u njih. U uvodu će se spomenuti i definirati pojam zatvorenih prostora na brodovima za prijevoz tekućih tereta. Testiranje atmosfere je bitno zbog utvrđivanja stupnja opasnosti određenoga zatvorenog prostora te snižavanje rizika od nesreće na najmanju moguću razumnu mogućnost. Također, prikazat će se primjer dozvole za ulazak u zatvoreni prostor te objasniti pojedine elemente koji se nalaze u takvim dozvolama. Postoje razne vrste opasnosti na koje je moguće naići u zatvorenim prostorima stoga je bitno poznavati sve oblike takvih opasnosti radi sigurnog izvođenja potrebnih radova. Bitno je napomenuti da poznavanje opreme korištene u ovim aktivnostima znatno povećava razinu sigurnosti te smanjuje vrijeme reakcije na moguće nezgode.This undergraduate thesis is focused on topic regarding entering enclosed spaces and the dangers associated with them. Introduction mentions usual locations and defines the necessary requirements needed to declare such spaces enclosed spaces onboard tanker vessels. Atmosphere testing allows us to check the presence of a hazardous atmosphere inside a particular enclosed space as well as reduce the risk of gas poisoning and other gas related incidents to lowest possible practicable level. Typical enclosed space entry permits are presented, and elements include in such forms explained. Different types of dangers commonly found in enclosed spaces are explained along with necessary actions needed to ensure safe working conditions. Familiarization with safety and rescue equipment used in such activities is of utmost importance in maintaining required safety level and reducing response time to any possible incidents that may arise during working in enclosed spaces onboard tanker vessels
