Critical LTI Report: Crew Member Suffers Leg Injury in Deck Slip

1255

IMCA, in its Safety Events, reports that a “Serious LTI: Crew Member Breaks Leg in Deck Slip Accident”.

What happened

Three engineering crew members were involved in the manual handling of a bunker hose from an upper storage area to a lower deck storage area accessed via a spiral staircase. One of the engineers slipped on a greasy area of the deck breaking his right leg (fibula or calf bone) in the fall.

The spiral ladder did not allow evacuation by stretcher. Fortunately, however, the injured person was conscious and was able to assist the rescue team and go up the stairs. Our member noted that a later drill highlighted that in the case of an unconscious casualty, the safest rescue route would have been to unbolt a vertical hatch leading to the bottom carousel area, which would have proved to have been time-consuming.

What went wrong

  • The area where the engineer slipped was an isolated spot that did not have any grating installed on the deck. It was also contaminated with grease and water from a previous task;
  • The engineers were interrupted in their task by the requirement to conduct another task elsewhere;
  • The bunker hose was routed vertically. As a result, residual water from within the hose was able to escape and pool on the deck below where the crew accessed the storage area;
  • The presence of grating nearly everywhere gives a false perception of a non-slippery surface;
  • A Manual Handling Assessment was not considered for the task.

Learnings

  • If available, place caps on the end of hoses to eliminate water spillage;
  • Ensure non-slip deck coating is applied in all exposed areas in storage rooms, assess all other work and storage areas, and apply the same coating where required;
  • Develop a manual handling assessment for the movement of bunkering hoses, incorporating the use of mechanical lifting aids wherever possible.
  • Rescue equipment available onboard for an unconscious casualty – a stretcher – was not suitable for rescue through the spiral ladders;
  • Identify all areas onboard the vessel presenting difficult rescue (with limited access/egress) and consider additional rescue drills in all identified areas complete with designated rescue plans.
