VESSEL AND BARGE SAFETY<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Vessels and barges combine a moving deck, confined machinery spaces and cable and hose runs for power, communication and tooling. A loose cable or an unsecured tool is a more serious hazard when the surface underfoot is moving. CableSafe’s marine-rated cable, dropped-objects and confined-space equipment is built for that environment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A vessel or barge is a working environment that moves underfoot in a way a land site never does, which changes how every hazard behaves. Cable and hose runs for power, communication and tooling still have to cross deck walkways just as they would on land, but a stumble over one is far more likely to end in a fall over the side or into open machinery on a moving deck.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Below deck, machinery spaces and holds bring their own confined space hazards – limited entry and exit, the possibility of a hazardous atmosphere, and equipment that’s harder to isolate than it would be in a fixed industrial building. Dropped objects between deck levels add a third hazard on top of the deck-level trip risk and the below-deck confined space risk.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Equipment used on vessels and barges has to survive salt spray, UV, humidity and constant vibration without corroding or losing grip.
