In addition to the instructions referred to in item 25, the following safety instructions shall be prominently posted in spaces, other than machinery spaces, where fuel oil burning appliances are located: “WARNING ENSURE THAT FRESH AIR VENTILATION SYSTEM IS IN OPERATION WHEN USING FUEL-BURNING APPLIANCE If leakage of fuel oil is suspected or detected, the following actions must be taken immediately: shut off supply of fuel; extinguish all naked flames and sources of ignition including heaters, cookers and cigarettes; and ventilate by creating a through draught of fresh air.” domestic gas fuel burning ranges; domestic gas fuel refrigerators; gas fuel space-heaters; and gas fuel water-heaters. be adequately flexible and protected from damage; have a minimum of piping in enclosed spaces; be exposed to sight as far as practicable; be supported by hangers that will not cause damage or corrosion and that are spaced at intervals not exceeding 120 times the outside diameter of the pipe; and have non-abrasive covering for protection where they pass through decks or bulkheads. be of seamless steel or copper; have welded, brazed, threaded or flared connections; where brazed connections are used, have brazing metal with a melting point in excess of 540°C; and where carbon steel is used, be painted on its exterior surfaces to prevent corrosion. note the pressure on the gauge when the appliance burner valves are shut and the packless shut-off valve and one cylinder valve are open; note if the pressure on the gauge remains constant for at least 10 minutes when the cylinder valve is closed; if the pressure on the gauge drops before the expiration of 10 minutes, locate the leakage by applying liquid detergent or soap water solution to all connections of the gas fuel system but do not use flame to test for leaks; and repeat subitems (a), (b) and (c) for each cylinder in a multi-cylinder gas fuel system. installed in a sturdily constructed metal enclosure with ventilation openings at both the top and the bottom of the enclosure; protected from damage, direct rays of the sun and heat; and located on or above the weather deck level and outside the superstructure, with access only from the open deck. liquefied petroleum gas fuel storage cylinders and permanently secured system components; and secured valve-protecting caps for cylinders that are in use. at least two natural air ventilator ducts each of which is at least 75 mm in diameter, one leading to and the other leading from the open deck and the extraction duct shall extend from within 15 cm of the deck of the compartment and the inlet duct shall extend to within 15 cm of the deckhead of the compartment; or mechanical ventilation arranged in a manner similar to that described in subitem (a) except that the duct size shall be determined on the basis of at least 10 air changes per hour within the compartment and the fan and its motor, if not spark-proof, shall not be located in the compartment or the extraction duct. located on or above the weather deck level, outside the superstructure, with access only from the open deck. LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS FUEL NO OPEN FLAME NO SMOKING BEFORE TURNING ON GAS FUEL READ OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BELOW KEEP CYLINDER VALVES CLOSED WHEN CYLINDER EMPTY OR SHIP IS UNATTENDED BE SURE ALL APPLIANCE VALVES ARE CLOSED BEFORE OPENING THE CYLINDER VALVES CLOSE APPLIANCE VALVES WHEN APPLIANCE IS NOT IN USE TEST SYSTEM FOR LEAKAGE AT LEAST TWICE A MONTH CONSUMER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Read and observe the appliance manufacturer’s instructions. Never use a gas fuel appliance without ventilation. Do not use the cooking appliance for space-heating. To remove an empty cylinder: close cylinder valve and burn out the gas fuel in the line by lighting all appliance burners; when the gas stops burning, close the appliance valves; and disconnect the empty cylinder, leaving the cylinder valve closed. To install a full cylinder: check that all appliance valves are in the closed position; secure the cylinder to mounting and the outlet of the cylinder valve to the gas fuel system; open the cylinder valve and test cylinder and regulator connections for leaks with a soap and water solution or another leak detection device, but never use a naked flame for testing; and one at a time, open the appliance valves and light the burners and allow for a sufficient length of time to ensure that there is no air in the lines to interrupt gas fuel flow.” If leakage of gas fuel is suspected or detected, the following actions must be taken immediately: shut off the supply of gas by closing the main cylinder valve or valves; extinguish all naked flames and other sources of ignition, including heaters, cookers, pilot lights and cigarettes; do not operate electric switches or cause electric sparks; advise the Master or engineer; ventilate by creating a through draught to disperse the gas as liquefied petroleum gas is heavier than air and will tend to settle; if possible evacuate the area because a leak with no fire may form an explosive mixture; and remove all cylinders from the vessel if leakage cannot be stopped. If any soot accumulates on pans or parts of the appliance or any unusual odours occur, the appliance should not be used until it is repaired as the appliance may be producing a deadly gas.” any lubricating oil or hydraulic power oil tank by way of flame screened vent pipes terminating in a safe location; and any lubricating oil or hydraulic power oil system by relief valve discharges leading back to suction sides of pumps or to suitable tanks. sounding pipes with suitable means of closure at their upper ends that terminate in a safe location; heat resistant gauge glasses protected from mechanical damage and fitted with self-closing valves at the lower end and at the top of the glasses if the valves are connected to the tank below the maximum liquid level; or other safe and efficient means where a supplementary means of manual sounding is fitted.
