Scenario
As the industry moves into a smart-shipping era, the risk of cyber threats is at an all-time high.
Digitalized ships, increasing interconnectedness, the extended use of electronic data exchange and
electronic navigation increases the likelihood of cyber-attacks in variety, frequency and sophistication.
Cyber threats are one of the most serious economic and international security challenges facing the
maritime industry today. The need for protection and security enforcements to mitigate the threats is
more important today than ever. Guidelines to support secure cyber operations and contingency plans
to be followed in a case of cyber incident have become necessary. The XYZ Shipping Chamber
recognizing the increasing concern of its Members with regards to the cyber security and their
protection, developed this document with the intention to create awareness of the threat and provide
guidance to its Members.
Company Description
“We own and/or operate over 100 ships which include tankers, bulkers, and container ships. We employ
directly over 3,000 employees in seven offices worldwide. The company operates as an owner and
technical operator, including crewing services”.
Motivation
“Driving this shipping company’s cyber security initiatives is the increasing awareness of the invasive
nature of cyber-criminal activity in the shipping industry. Cyber threat has imposed an elevated cyber
security related risk awareness from ship owners, the company board of directors, cargo owners, and
legal / regulatory bodies such as TMSA, IMO and USCG to name some, as well as P&I club coverage”.
4.1 “Reducing the risk should be the main deliverable of the company’s cyber security strategy and
outcome of the risk assessment decided by senior management. At a technical level, this would include
the necessary actions to be implemented to establish and maintain an agreed level of cyber security.”

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND RISK ASSESSMENT IN AUTO COMPONENTS MANUFACTURING IN...
This document discusses hazard identification and risk assessment (HIRA) in the auto components manufacturing industry. It begins by defining HIRA as a process used in many industries to identify risks and assess their severity and likelihood in order to reduce workplace hazards. The document then outlines the HIRA methodology, including initial reviews, classifying work activities, identifying hazards and risks, assessing risk levels based on severity and probability matrices, and developing recommendations to control risks. The goal of HIRA is to eliminate or manage all viable hazards to reduce risks to the lowest acceptable level in order to protect worker safety.
Operating Cranes and Plant near Overhead Electric Lines
Operating cranes and machinery near overhead power lines poses a serious risk of electrocution. It is difficult for operators to accurately judge distances between equipment and power lines. Employers must identify risks, conduct a written risk assessment considering factors like minimum clearance distances and load stability, and implement measures to eliminate or minimize risks, such as de-energizing lines or isolating hazards with physical barriers. Ongoing monitoring is also needed to ensure risk treatment measures remain effective as work sites change.
Pipeline Construction In Pursuit Of The Zero Accident Project
Establishing clear controls and standards with contractors at the start of pipeline projects can prevent accidents from reoccurring. Two common accidents that could have been avoided include a dozer hitting a buried gas pipeline due to lack of procedures for dealing with utilities, and an excavator contacting a power line due to inadequate controls for power line hazards. Specialized training and strict enforcement of standards are needed considering the hazardous work and changing conditions involved in pipeline construction using heavy equipment like side booms, which require skilled operators to safely perform the majority of lifts.
IHST - Helicopter Harzard Identification
This document discusses hazard identification and risk management. It begins with an overview of the International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) Safety Management System framework, which includes hazard identification, risk assessment and mitigation. Several examples of hazards are provided, emphasizing the importance of clearly defining hazards rather than describing them by their potential consequences. The document then discusses methods for identifying hazards, including considering one's main fears and how events could occur. It introduces bow-tie diagrams as a tool for displaying hazards, potential causes, consequences and risk controls. The remainder of the document provides guidance on assessing risks and developing mitigation actions associated with identified hazards.
FADA Moving Image Department Risks & Control Measures
This document outlines health and safety risks and control measures for the moving image department. Key risks include a lack of student safety inductions, overheating computers causing potential fires, and trip hazards from cables in studios. Control measures include implementing signed safety guidelines and induction documents for students, performing weekly safety checks of computers, and implementing cable management systems. Slip, trip, and fall risks are prevalent, especially in the Ackland filming studio, due to cables, clutter, and an unsafe gantry. Control measures such as enforcing safe footwear, cleaning spills quickly, and reducing clutter are recommended.

Panduit Lockout Tagout For Workplace Electrical Safety - 'Why do I Need Locko...Thorne & Derrick International
Why do I Need Lockout/Tagout? discusses the importance of implementing an effective Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) program to prevent accidental startup of machinery or release of stored energy during maintenance or servicing. LOTO is necessary to protect employees from catastrophic injuries and fatalities. An effective LOTO program includes developing energy control procedures, employee training, and inspections to ensure hazardous energy sources are isolated before any work is performed. The document outlines the five key elements of an effective LOTO program: a written program, equipment-specific procedures, training, protective lockout devices, and regular inspections and reviews.Risk Assessment.ppt
This document outlines the objectives and content of a risk assessment and management course. The course covers topics like risk management and the ISM Code, hazard identification, risk assessment, analysis and management. It aims to meet the requirements of the ISM Code section 1.2.2.2 and TMSA Element 9, which relate to risk assessment and management. The document also provides an overview of the Tanker Management and Self Assessment (TMSA) guidelines and its 12 elements, including Element 9 on risk assessment and management.
White Card Update : Concern Over High Number of Forklift Incidents
WorkSafe issued an alert after a forklift incident in Morwell where a truck driver was hit by a reversing forklift. Concerns over forklift accidents led to the alert, as three companies were recently prosecuted for forklift-related incidents that caused serious worker injuries due to lack of safety procedures. WorkSafe recommends clearly separating pedestrian and forklift traffic to help lower injury rates.
Beware of Scaffolding Dangers on Construction Sites
Scaffolding is vital for construction but also dangerous, as falls are a leading cause of death in the industry. Proper planning, supervision, training, and fall protection equipment can help reduce risks when erecting or dismantling scaffolding. Scaffolds should be built sequentially with railings and safe access between levels to prevent falls, and safety harnesses alone are not sufficient—they must be properly anchored.
SafeWork Report Reveals shocking Results
A report by Safe Work Australia found that casual workers had injury rates 50% higher than permanent workers between 2009-2012. It also found that female workers had higher injury rates than males, and that rates were increasing for females while declining for males. The most common causes of injury across all groups were sprains and strains. Younger workers between 15-24 had the highest rates of injury compared to other age groups. The report recommends tailoring workplace safety training and procedures based on the risks for different demographic groups in order to reduce injuries.
Common Asbestos Related Diseases
Workers who renovate old buildings are at risk of inhaling asbestos fibers, which can cause deadly diseases like mesothelioma, pleural disease, and asbestosis. Australia has high rates of these diseases. Mesothelioma is a cancer affecting the lining of the lungs that develops 20-40 years after exposure and has poor survival rates. Pleural disease causes scarring and fluid buildup in the lungs. Asbestosis results in scarred, stiff lungs that have difficulty absorbing oxygen.

It also found that female workers had higher injury rates than males, and that rates were increasing for females while declining for males. The most common causes of injury across all groups were sprains and strains. Younger workers between 15-24 had the highest rates of injury compared to other age groups. The report recommends tailoring workplace safety training and procedures based on the risks for different demographic groups in order to reduce injuries.
Common Asbestos Related Diseases
Workers who renovate old buildings are at risk of inhaling asbestos fibers, which can cause deadly diseases like mesothelioma, pleural disease, and asbestosis. Australia has high rates of these diseases. Mesothelioma is a cancer affecting the lining of the lungs that develops 20-40 years after exposure and has poor survival rates. Pleural disease causes scarring and fluid buildup in the lungs. Asbestosis results in scarred, stiff lungs that have difficulty absorbing oxygen.
Dandenong the Focus of WorkSafe Inspections
WorkSafe will focus return to work inspections on the Dandenong area in Victoria this month. Over the past 5 years, the region has reported approximately 8,360 injuries costing $197 million. Inspectors will visit employers to ensure they are meeting return to work obligations for injured employees and providing guidance. Employers are encouraged to attend a free workshop on returning injured workers to their jobs successfully and lowering insurance costs.
Hazard Presented by Heavy Construction Equipment
Heavy construction equipment causes approximately 100 worker deaths per year due to various accidents. Workers are often struck when equipment changes direction or reverses, or are crushed by equipment rollovers or falling objects. To prevent injuries, workers must follow all safety guidelines and operate equipment with caution, maintaining visibility and reducing speeds, especially near pedestrians.
Dangers of Scaffolding in Construction Work
Scaffolding poses serious dangers to construction workers such as falls, being struck by falling objects, electrical shock, and scaffold failure. Safety measures like harnesses, guardrails, hard hats, and fall arrest systems can help reduce risks but should not replace proper scaffold setup and maintenance to prevent injuries and deaths from scaffolding accidents.
Beware of Scaffolding Dangers on Construction Sites
Numerous deaths occur each year from falls from scaffolding during construction. Even falls from low heights can be serious or fatal. Scaffolding is necessary for construction but presents fall risks that workers must be trained to manage properly. Safe work practices like progressive scaffold erection, installing guardrails and fall arrest systems, and using harnesses and other PPE can help prevent falls when working with scaffolding. Proper planning, supervision, and safety protocols are essential to reducing risks.
Maintaining Trench and Excavation Safety
Trench and excavation safety is important to train construction workers on to prevent tragedy. Employers and employees should identify hazards associated with trench and excavation work before, during, and after work to assess and minimize risks, particularly the risk of collapse from instability. Workers should review if work in a trench or excavation is necessary and consider safer alternatives. If work must be done, proper permissions, PPE provided by the employer with training on use, and engineering controls to separate other workers from hazards are required to maintain safety.
Welding Safety in Construction
Welding is a common but hazardous construction activity that can cause burns, electric shock, radiation exposure, and fires or explosions if not done safely. The risks are increased when welding in confined spaces due to dangers from fumes, gases, and heat that can damage organs or cause illness. Proper ventilation, personal protective equipment like clothing, eye protection and masks, and fire safety measures can minimize these risks, but controlling hazards is vital for welder safety.
Welding Safety in Construction
Welding is a hazardous activity commonly used in construction that can cause injuries like burns, electric shock, and radiation exposure. When welding in confined spaces, there are additional risks such as metal fume fever from toxic fumes, welders' flash from ultraviolet light, and poisonous gas formation if welding near solvents. Proper safety precautions like ventilation, protective equipment, and fire extinguishers can minimize these risks.
Attention Construction Workers: Learn what to do in the Event of a Fire
This document provides guidelines for construction workers in the event of a fire. It advises that the top priority is personal safety - workers should remove themselves from danger and not attempt to rescue others if it puts their own life at risk. Once safe, workers should try to isolate the fire if possible and call emergency services. All workers should gather at the designated meeting point so they can be accounted for.
OHS Update: The Importance of Hand Protection in Construction Safety
Construction workers' hands are susceptible to many hazards that can cause permanent damage due to their reliance on their hands for their livelihood. Once risks are assessed and identified, appropriate safety measures like personal protective equipment should be designed and implemented, including the use of gloves to prevent or lessen injury from physical hazards like sharp edges, vibration, heat, corrosive chemicals as identified by materials safety data sheets, and ultraviolet radiation which can cause skin diseases.
Common Asbestos Related Diseases
Workers who engage in renovation and construction are at risk of inhaling asbestos fibers from old building materials, which can lead to deadly diseases like mesothelioma, pleural disease, and asbestosis. Mesothelioma is a cancer of the lining of the lungs that occurs 20-40 years after exposure and has a very short survival time after diagnosis. Pleural disease causes scarring and fluid buildup in the lining of the lungs, restricting breathing. Asbestosis results in scarred, stiff lungs that cannot take in enough oxygen. Australia has high rates of these asbestos-related diseases.

Mesothelioma is a cancer of the lining of the lungs that typically occurs 20-40 years after exposure and has a very poor prognosis. Pleural disease causes scarring and thickening of the lining of the lungs, restricting breathing. Asbestosis results in scarring of the lungs themselves, making breathing difficult. Australia has high rates of these asbestos-related diseases.
WorkSafeSeasonal Warning
WorkSafe Victoria issued an alert warning that November and December are the deadliest months for workplace deaths, with 7 workers dying in 12 days and 9 deaths in 24 days the previous year. Statistics over the past 5 years show this period has extremely high workplace fatality rates. While the exact cause is unclear, WorkSafe speculates safety practices may lapse as companies rush to finish jobs before the summer break and holidays. Most past incidents occurred during routine tasks, suggesting workers' attitudes or approaches change in a way that compromises safety.
OHS Update: The Importance of Hand Protection in Construction Safety
The document discusses the importance of hand protection in construction safety. It notes that construction workers' hands are susceptible to physical, chemical, and radiation hazards that can cause permanent damage since workers depend on their hands for their livelihood. It recommends assessing risks, designing appropriate safety measures such as personal protective equipment, and following material safety data sheets for chemicals to identify proper gloves and protections. Physical hazards include sharp materials and tools, vibration, or heat, while chemical and ultraviolet radiation hazards also exist.

Whitecard Update: Steps to Managing a Fall Hazard
- 1. Whitecard Update: Steps to Managing a Fall Hazard Image: FreeDigitalPhotos.net Step 1 – Allocate responsibility to Workers Responsibilities should be distributed among workers to ensure adequate fall prevention is in place, equipment is used correctly, safety measures are maintained and workers are given adequate instruction and training. Employees have the responsibility of following their safety training. STEP 2 – Identify Hazards One example is working on a roof. To comply with the OHS Prevention of Falls Regulations 2003, employers must identify all tasks that involve the possibility of someone falling more than two metres. These tasks may include construction, demolition, repairs or maintenance, on plant or structure, work on fragile or unstable surfaces, work on sloping or slippery surfaces, work near an edge, hole, pit or shaft. STEP 3 – Assess Risks and Risky Situations Consider the nature, size and layout of the workplace, the duration, extent and type of work to be done, height at which workers will be required to undertake work, training and experience of employees, how to get to the work area etc. If it is not possible to eliminate the risk, precautions must be taken to manage the risk. addthis_url = 'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.whitecardaustralia.com.au%2Fblog%2Fwhitecard-update- steps-to-managing-a-fall-hazard%2F'; addthis_title = 'Whitecard+Update%3A+Steps+to+Managing+a+Fall+Hazard'; addthis_pub = ''; 1/2
