6.3              Lighting
Areas of the ship used for loading or unloading, other work processes or transit should be adequately lit. Marine Order 32 requires that loading and unloading must not be carried out unless:
       there is suitable deck and under-deck illumination, with a minimum level of:
         * 10 lux on access routes;
         * 20 lux on ladders that provide access to the vessel, accommodation ladders and gangways;
         * 50 lux in working areas onboard and adjacent to the vessel, taking into account any specific need that may require additional illumination;
       the level of light in adjacent areas is reasonably uniform;
       any artificial lighting does not expose persons engaged in loading or unloading to health and safety risks or the safety of the vessel or of the cargo; and
       any artificial lighting is designed and located to minimise glare, reflection and shadows.
Where visibility is poor, the level of lighting should be increased above the recommended minimum.
Before leaving an illuminated area or space, a check should be made that there are no other persons remaining within that space before switching off or removing lights. Unattended openings in the decks should either be kept illuminated or be properly or safely closed before lights are switched off.
Broken or defective lights should be reported immediately and repaired as soon as practicable. Failed light globes or faults in sealed waterproof or gas tight fittings must only be changed by the responsible engineer officer.
When portable or temporary lights are in use, the light supports and leads should be arranged, secured or covered so as to prevent a person tripping, or being hit by moving fittings, or walking into cables or supports. Any slack in the leads should be coiled and kept clear of possible causes of damage e.g. running gear, moving parts of machinery, equipment and loads. If they pass through doorways, the doors should be secured open. Leads should not pass through doors in watertight bulkheads or fire door openings when the ship is at sea.
Portable lights should never be lowered or suspended by their leads. To avoid risks of electric shock from mains voltage, the portable lamps used in damp or humid conditions should be of low voltage, preferably 12 volts.
Unlit or inadequately lit places on the ship should not be entered without safe portable lights. Lighting appliances and cabling should be appropriate for the space being entered, for example if the space does or may contain explosive fumes special electrical safety standards need to be applied.
Both fixed and portable lighting should be checked to ensure proper operation and safe rigging before use.
