eing dedicated to safety, we are
proactively and continuously
searching for possible prevention
of dangers to our crews. Thus SAL will
embark on a sustained safety campaign ti-
tled “Hands on Safety” in November 2015.
Hands and fingers are extremely
exposed during routine and non-routine
activities onboard heavy lift vessels. The
hand is one of the most commonly used
limbs in the body, it allows you to per-
form a wide variety of tasks. But due to
the complexity of the hand, hand/finger
injuries are extremely difficult to cure. After
such injuries, one could likely find difficul-
ties in carrying out the simplest tasks.
So during the coming weeks and
months, the campaign will focus attention
on accident prevention in relation to hand/
finger injuries. SAL works with the officers
and crew members onboard to partici-
pate in a fleetwide “Timeout for Safety”
campaign to discuss preventive actions
and to highlight the most common causes
of injury.
The Marine HSSE department will pro-
vide to the vessels a “Hands On Safety”
Campaign Pack consisting of a series of
posters, PowerPoint presentations, Tool
Box talks and a briefing paper on the
“Timeout for Safety” campaign proposed
for the fleet during the month of Novem-
ber 2015.
