Qualification Standards for Personnel Responsible for Hazardous or Noxious Chemicals in Bulk. Volume I.

Abstract

The report is an analysis of personnel tasks on vessel systems transporting bulk hazardous and noxious chemicals. The recommendations relate to qualifications and training of chemical handling personnel aboard tankships and tank barges for two cargo containment systems (i.e., ambient-pressure-ambient temperature, and high pressure-ambient temperature). Topics discussed are initial personnel certification, renewal of certification, time frame for renewal and retraining. One of the results of this study is a data bank of tasks performed by marine personnel handling bulk chemical cargo (bound separately as Appendices J and K). In addition, an educational curriculum guideline was developed that may be useful to anyone interested in desigining a training program for marine chemical handling personnel. (Author)
