Risk Assessment on Ship Explained | Hazard Identification & Control Measures | ISM Code | MMD Orals and exam This video explains Risk Assessment on board ships, a critical safety process required under the ISM Code and essential for shipboard operations, audits, and MMD orals. It focuses on how to identify hazards, evaluate risks, and apply effective control measures to reduce accidents and protect life, property, and the marine environment. The video begins by clearly defining the difference between a hazard and a risk. A hazard is a potential source of harm, while risk is the likelihood and severity of harm occurring due to that hazard. Risk is assessed using a risk matrix based on probability and severity. The risk matrix categorizes risks into Very Low, Low, Medium, High, and Very High risk levels. Very Low and Low risks are generally acceptable, while Medium risks must be reduced. High and Very High risks are unacceptable, and operations must not proceed until the risk is brought down to a tolerable or acceptable level. The video explains risk tolerability criteria and the importance of applying control measures. Control measures include engineering controls, administrative controls, and use of PPE. The goal is to reduce the initial risk to a safe residual risk. A standard risk assessment table format is explained in detail. Key columns include serial number, identified hazard, control measures, residual risk score, additional controls if required, and final residual risk score. Practical shipboard examples are discussed, including enclosed space entry hazards such as oxygen deficiency and toxic gases, fire and explosion risks, slipping and tripping hazards, electrical shock risks, falling objects, hot work risks, and working aloft. For each scenario, the video explains realistic control measures such as gas testing, ventilation, standby personnel, hot work permits, proper PPE, isolation of equipment, and safe working practices. Hot work risk assessment is covered in depth, including gas cylinder handling, flame arresters, leak testing, and prevention of explosions. The video also links risk assessment directly to the ISM Code, highlighting that hazard identification, risk evaluation, implementation of controls, and monitoring effectiveness are mandatory requirements. Finally, the role of Permit to Work is explained. A permit is issued only after a proper risk assessment is completed, approved, and control measures are in place. This video is highly useful for Merchant Navy cadets, deck and engine officers, safety officers, ISM audits, and candidates preparing for MMD orals. 🌐 CONNECT WITH SAILOR RIDER YouTube:    / @sailor_rider   Facebook:   / 19imzynlrp   Instagram:   / sailor_rider   Threads: https://www.threads.com/@sailor_rider 🏷 SEO risk assessment on ship hazard identification ship risk matrix maritime shipboard safety management ism code risk assessment permit to work ship hot work risk assessment enclosed space risk ship working aloft safety ship mmd orals safety #RiskAssessment #ShipSafety #ISMCode #PermitToWork #MerchantNavy
