高空、舷外作业需注重风险防控！

01、事故类型
What the type of casualty

非常严重的海上伤亡事故：从货舱内的平台上掉落
Very serious marine casualty: Fall from platform in cargo hold

02、事故经过
What happened?

一名船员正在修理货舱通道梯子上的三个中间平台中最低的那个平台周围的扶手。该平台被设计为一个着陆点，可以容纳一个人从货舱通道梯子的一端移动到另一端。这艘船当时在海上，货舱舱口盖被关闭。扶手被拆下维修，船员正准备将其重新安装到平台上。下层平台离舱底有五米高。事故没有目击者，但很可能是该船员从平台上绊倒或滑倒，由于他没有佩戴安全带，他掉到了下面的舱底，因多处受伤而死亡。
A crew member was making repairs to the hand rails that surrounded the lowest of three intermediate platforms built into the cargo hold access ladder. The platform was designed as a landing to hold a single person while moving from one section of the cargo hold access ladder to the next. The ship was at sea and the cargo hatch covers were closed. The hand rails had been removed for repair and the crew member was about to refit them to the platform. The lower platform was five metres above the tank top. There was no eye witness to the accident, but it is likely that the crew member tripped or slipped from the platform and, as he was not wearing a safety harness, he fell to the tank top below. He died from multiple injuries.

03、事故原因
Why did it happen?

1、平台上杂乱无章地摆放着船员用来进行维修的设备，而且没有扶手保护，使平台成为一个拥挤和危险的工作场所。
The platform was cluttered with equipment that the crew member was using to effect the repairs and was not guarded by hand rails, making the platform a congested and dangerous place to work.

2、一盏卤素灯被安装在平台上方约一米的地方。这盏灯是船员必须要绕过的一个障碍。
A single halogen light had been rigged about one metre above the platform. The light was another obstacle that the crew member had to work around.

3、尽管船上的程序要求船员在执行任务时使用安全带，但他当时并没有佩戴。如果穿上安全带并将其连接到一个安全点上，就会防止他的掉落。
Although shipboard procedures required the crew member to use a safety harness for the task, he was not wearing one at the time. Wearing a safety harness and connecting it to a secure point would have arrested his fall.

04、事故启示
What can we learn?

1、在没有扶手保护的情况下进行高空作业是一种危险的行为。重要的是，海员在高空作业时要遵循行业的最佳做法，即使用安全绳。
Working at height without the protection of hand rails is a hazardous situation. It is important that seafarers follow industry best practice of using a safety harness when working at height.
2、在黑暗空间工作时，重要的是在不妨碍工人的情况下，要有充分的照明照亮作业区。
It is important when working in dark spaces that sufficient lighting is used to illuminate the immediate and general working area without obstructing the workers.
