| Resumen |
This publication provides guidance on the assessment of hazards associated with spillages of harmful substances from ships and the setting up of response organisations. The first section deals with the identity and assessment of the hazard and explains how to obtain information about the identity of the substances concerned, the origin of the spill and the characteristics of the spilled material. Details are also given of remote detection methods, measurements of atmospheric concentrations and a 2-phase method for evaluating the impact of the incident. The next section looks at response to spillages both on board ship and at a distance from it. Methods of response according to the type of spillage are given: booms, skimmers and sorbents for floating substances; monitoring and recovery of sinking substances; neutralisation of dissolved or dispersed substances. Disposal methods such as recycling, destruction and dumping are also considered. The final sections deal with personnel safety and health, and response organisation and training. |
