| Abstract |
According to West German regulations currently in force, the shipowner or contractor is obliged to call in a specialist to determine if there is any risk of emanations of harmful or explosive substances before and during operations for the treatment of the inner surfaces of vessels. The specialist is held responsible for preparing and programming supervision before and during the work, and establishing a report. This article gives information on different types of dangerous substances, choice of apparatus and methods, the method of air sampling and the air exchange rate depending on the solvent concentrations in the atmosphere. |
