FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin To prevent accidents during entry into enclosed spaces, the company, working together with the ship, should have a clear and effective safety strategy in place. A key part of this strategy is the Enclosed Space Register, which is prepared for each ship. The register identifies all enclosed spaces on board, outlines the hazards they may present, explains the risks under different conditions, and sets out the safety measures that must be taken before entry. This should also include an assessment of how the atmosphere in these enclosed spaces may be impacted by the contents of the spaces themselves, such as in case a ship stores treated sewage or grey water temporarily in its ballast water tanks, or the contents of connected spaces or adjacent spaces, including cargo, fumigants, fuel oils, slops, oxygen-depleting conditions and the physical or structural arrangement of the space.
