Methods for demonstrating competence
|
Criteria for evaluating competence
|
| Control fire-fighting operations aboard ships
|
Fire-fighting procedures at sea and in port, with particular emphasis
on organization, tactics and
command
Use of water for
fire-extinguishing, the effect on ship stability, precautions and
corrective procedures
Communication and
coordination during fire-fighting
operations
Ventilation control,
including smoke extraction
Control of
fuel and electrical
systems
Fire-fighting process hazards
(dry distillation, chemical reactions, boiler uptake fires,
etc.)
Fire fighting involving dangerous
goods
Fire precautions and hazards
associated with the storage and handling of materials (paints,
etc.)
Management and control of injured
persons
Procedures for coordination
with shore-based fire fighters
|
Practical exercises and instruction conducted under approved and
truly realistic training conditions (e.g., simulated shipboard
conditions) and, whenever possible and practicable, in
darkness
|
Actions taken to control fires are based on a full and accurate
assessment of the incident, using all available sources of
information
The order of priority,
timing and sequence of actions are appropriate to the overall
requirements of the incident and to minimize damage and potential
damage to the ship, injuries to personnel and impairment of the
operational effectiveness of the
ship
Transmission of information is
prompt, accurate, complete and
clear
Personal safety during fire
control activities is safeguarded at all times
|
| Organize and train fire parties
|
Preparation of contingency
plans
Composition and allocation of
personnel to fire parties
Strategies
and tactics for control of fires in various parts of the
ship
|
Practical exercises and instruction conducted under approved and
truly realistic training conditions, e.g., simulated shipboard
conditions
|
Composition and organization of fire control parties ensure the
prompt and effective implementation of emergency plans and
procedures
|
| Inspect and service fire-detection and fire-extinguishing systems and
equipment
|
Fire-detection systems; fixed fire-extinguishing systems; portable
and mobile fire-extinguishing equipment, including appliances, pumps
and rescue, salvage, life-support, personal protective and
communication equipment
Requirements
for statutory and classification surveys
|
Practical exercises, using approved equipment and systems in a
realistic training environment
|
Operational effectiveness of all fire-detection and
fire-extinguishing systems and equipment is maintained at all times in
accordance with performance specifications and legislative
requirements
|
| Investigate and compile reports on incidents involving fire
|
Assessment of cause of incidents involving fire
|
Practical exercises in a realistic training environment
|
Causes
of fire are identified and the effectiveness of countermeasures is
evaluated
