| Abstract |
This guide is a collection of explanatory material supplementing the code of practice on safety and health in dock work prepared by a meeting of experts in 1956 on the initiative of the International Labour Office. The chapters of the guide are arranged to match those of the code: general (housekeeping, lighting, ventilation, machinery, etc.); wharfs and quays; means of access to ships; transport of dockers by water; protection of hatchways; access to holds; decks; loading and unloading machinery and gear; loading and unloading operations; lifting, carrying and piling; warehouses and storeplaces; dangerous substances and environments; personal protective equipment; medical aid and rescue; personnel facilities; selection and training of dock workers. On account of developments in the packaging of goods a chapter on packaging has been added over and above those in the code, as has a chapter on nuclear merchant vessels. |
