What Are the Key Toxicological Concerns in PSC Inspections?
During PSC inspections, several toxicological concerns are addressed:
Hazardous Materials: Ensuring proper labeling, storage, and documentation of hazardous substances on board. Pollution Prevention Equipment: Verifying the functionality and maintenance of equipment designed to prevent the discharge of pollutants, such as oil-water separators and chemical spill containment systems. Crew Training: Assessing the crew's knowledge and training in handling toxic substances and emergency response procedures. Waste Management: Reviewing the ship's waste management practices, including the disposal of hazardous waste and adherence to waste disposal regulations.
