ANALYSIS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF SAFETY MEASURES IN CONTAINER HANDLING TERMINAL IN PORTS AND CORRECTIVE MEASURES FOR IMPROVEMENT

Abstract: Container terminals are lifeline of global trade. Operating a container terminal gives rise to a lot of hazards which are managed with a wide range of regional and international regulations. However, work at height for lashing operations is one of the riskiest operations in the whole array of operations. The most modern risk control for this is use of man cages for lashing operations. This thesis envisages the study of the hazards at container terminals and proposing a standard operating procedure for safe use of man cages for vessel operations.
