Situational awareness, applying proper safety procedures and using the appropriate equipment are key to preventing these incidents. We recommend that Members review and disseminate this information onboard ship to bring a greater safety awareness to the crew in preventing slips, trips and falls. Furthermore, in 2018, the American Club, in partnership with the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and Lamar University (Lamar), launched a project aimed at reducing accidents caused by unsafe conditions both aboard and in the vicinity of vessels. The initiative’s long-term objective was to develop recommendations aimed at improving the day-to-day safety of maritime personnel, both afloat and ashore, through sharing the results of data analyses derived from this initiative. Your Managers are pleased to present the initial findings of the 2018 initiative, Maritime Slips, Trips, Falls and Lifting Injuries (PDF) 0.73MB as attached.

The appearance of ships and shipboard equipment on the outside suggests how well things are operating on the inside, and more importantly contributes to the health, safety and happiness of the vessel and crew. Housekeeping oversights rarely go unnoticed during port state control or vetting inspections, ISM audits and condition surveys. A well-kept vessel is sure to make a good first impression. The American Club is pleased to present Good Housekeeping - A Pocket Guide in English (PDF) 1.69MB , Spanish (PDF) 2.16MB , new Mandarin (PDF) 0.50MB and traditional Mandarin (PDF) 0.61MB . The Guide provides valuable good housekeeping tips for maintaining ships to ensure a safe workplace onboard and we encourage our Members to disseminate copies to all crew onboard as for all seafarers, sweep and swab is part of the job! © 2021 American Steamship Owners Mutual Protection and Indemnity Association, Inc. - Shipowners Claims Bureau, Inc. - Managers Home • Office Locations • Sitemap • Industry Links • Disclaimers • About the Club
