Abstract

Maritime University cadets must be on board ship's after thoroughly completing a Basic Safety Training Course. During their spare semester they must complete basic principle of the course and then, attend to both Advanced Safety Training Course and Tankers Training Course before they graduate. However, all cadets are exposed to risks during their onboard training. It means that most of commercial ships have to train them before boarding and perform duties according to all sorts of check lists based on the ISM. Accordingly, this research will deal with the treatment for toxic chemicals which is not fully covered by shipping firms, vessels and even a Maritime University for cadets. The lack of pre-knowledge about it is considerably hazardous to the cadets who have no onboard experience. As stated above, the majority of the onboard cadets board their ships without previous training on treatment and knowledge for toxic chemicals. As a result, there are some cases that cadets are injured due to the lack of knowledge to treat toxic chemicals and due to carelessness. Furthermore, they end up leaving a ship prematurely. To prevent these incidents from occurring, this paper recommends thorough training before going onboard provided by Maritime University, the systematic database on the safety of the toxic chemicals and the development of the online contents for safety education of toxic chemicals fitted on each ship's types are necessary to avoid risks and accidents onboard. Furthermore, it is suggested that shipping companies should manage the ship according to the safety check list on toxic chemicals and the crew in charge with qualification for the treatment of toxic chemicals should provide a safety education and supervision.

해양계대학교 실습해기사들은 승선하기 전 필요한 안전교육을 충분히 이수하고 승선해야 되지만 기초안전교육만 이수하고 승선을 하며 승선실습을 마치고 졸업 전까지 남은 학기 중 상급안전 교육과 탱커선 교육을 이수하고 있다. 그러나 해양대학교 실습해기사들은 선박회사 승선실습 과정 중에 위험에 노출되는 많은 작업들을 하게 된다. 이처럼 대부분의 상선들은 ISM관리 하에서 선박회사 및 승선하는 선박에서 각종 점검표에 의해 사전 교육을 행하고 작업을 하는 것이 당연한 것이다. 그러나 본 연구조사 결과 선박회사와 승선하는 선박 및 해양대학교에서도 교육이 제대로 이루어지지 않고 있으며 특히 '유해화학 물질의 취급'은 승선 경험이 없는 실습해기사들에게 상당한 위험이 되고 있다. 또한 승선실습 해기사들은 유해화학물질 취급에 관한 개인안전과 취급에 관한 사전교육이 없이 승선하게 되는 경우가 대부분이다. 이로 인해 실습해기사들이 승선실습 중 유해화학물질 취급 부주의와 무지로 인해 신체적 손상을 입고 하선을 하거나 승선에 어려움에 처하는 경우가 종종 발생하고 있다. 따라서 사고를 미연에 방지하기 위해서는 승선 실습 전에 해양대학교에서 이 부분의 철저한 교육이 이루어져야 하고, 선박회사에서는 취급하는 유해화학물질의 안전에 대한 데이터 베이스화가 체계적으로 갖추어져야하며, 각 선박에 맞는 유해화학물질 안전교육을 위한 온라인 켄텐츠 개발이 절실히 필요하다. 또한, 선박회사에서는 유해화학물질 안전점검일지를 만들어 관리감독하고, 선박에서는 이에 관한 교육을 이수한 관리책임자를 지정하여 안전교육과 관리를 하여야 할 것을 제안한다.
