FIGHT AGAINST FIRE
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR GAS
It is the owner's or the skipper's responsibility:
- To have the extinguishers checked in pursuance of the instructions given.
- Use extinguisher replacements with equivalent features (same capacity and fire
resistance) if the ones in place are out of date or have been used.
- To tell the crew:
• where the extinguishers are and how they work,
• where the release aperture is situated in the engine compartment,
• where the emergency exits are.
- Make sure the extinguishers can be reached easily when people are on board.
-
Make sure that the ventilation openings in the engine (and generator, if installed)
compartment are well cleared.
Keep the bilge clean. Regularly check whether there is fuel oil or gas vapour.
Use only compatible spare parts for the extinguishers. The parts shall have the same
specifications or be technically equivalent as to their resistance to fire.
Combustible products shall not be stored in the engine compartment. If you store non
combustible products in the engine compartment, they shall be fastened so that they cannot
fall on the machine and block the way.
Do not store combustible materials in the engine compartment.
Exits other than the doors and hatches of the main companionway, equipped with permanently
fitted ladders, are identified with a symbol.
WARNING
Keep an extinguisher handy in case the fire should start again.
