IG P&I SAFETY ANIMATION ON DEATHS IN ENCLOSED SPACES ON SHIPS
Circular Ref: O(21)12
Issue Date: 05 Mar 2021
Members are invited to review the animation regarding enclosed space entry produced by the International Group of P&I Clubs and disseminate to their members.
The International Group of P&I Clubs (IG) have drawn our attention to this animation, released on 3 March 2021.
The loss prevention units of the 13 IG clubs (i.e. the ex-seafarers who provide advice and guidance on technical matters to shipowner members of the clubs) have collaborated with a professional media company and collectively they have produced a safety animation that draws attention to the risk of fatalities caused by entering enclosed spaces on board ships.
While the main theme of the animation focuses on seafarers, the message applies equally to stevedores and surveyors who are among those to have died in these tragic circumstances. The issue is hugely important, and the IG is very keen to play a part in the mitigation of these dreadful and preventable deaths on board ships.
The animation is available on the International Group website – https://www.igpandi.org/enclosed-space-entry
The IG have also added this animation to the Group’s LinkedIn channel:
