Q

COSWAP Mooring (making fast and casting off)
Chapter 26.3

A

Consider ANY precautions when undertaking this task on board:

PLUS

BREAST lines should take most of the athwart-ships strain

SPRINGS should take most of the Longitudinal strain (for and aft)

Very short lengths are to be avoided as they take more strain (EQUAL LENGTH EQUAL STRENGTH)

Very short lengths may be compensated for by running the line ON THE BIGHT

“Tool box talk
Risk assessment
Permit to work
Comms with bridge
PPE
Adequately lit”

THEN
Safely open the space to mechanically ventilate

Test for three types of gas

Sample space at multiple locations

BA equipment for entry

EEBD for emergency escape

Personal gas detectors to be worn

Use of INTRINSICLY safe Radios

Close off during break periods and test air again after break

Close off permit post works and secure space completely

31
Q

How to test air quality of an enclosed space

A

Test for three types of gas:
Oxygen - oxygen meter

Toxic Gases - Toxic Gas meter (multi) OR detector Tubes, Looking for gases to be within the Safe Time Exposure Limit (Daily Average)

Flammable gases - Explosimeter (combustible gas indicator)
Takes a sample of the atmosphere and makes a micro explosion within
Looking for 1% of the Lower Explosive Limit (LPL)

32
Q

How to perform an Amplitude of the sun

(and Azimuth)

A

Check almanac for sunset/sunrise

Take Azimuth mirror to Polaris/Gyro repeater

Wait until the Sun is a semi diameter from the Horizon

Take bearing of the sun

Note time of UTC and the Latitude

Go into Norries, and find the declination of the sun

Use declination and Bearing to find the amplitude in the amplitude table in Norries

Convert this to a T bearing and compare to your Gyro/Compass
