1. What is PPE?

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is designed to protect workers from serious workplace

injuries or illnesses resulting from contact with chemical, radiological, physical, electrical,

mechanical, or other workplace hazards. Besides face shields, safety glasses, hard hats, and

safety shoes, protective equipment includes a variety of devices and garments such as goggles,

coveralls, gloves, vests, earplugs, and respirators.

2. Who are responsible for the proper usage of PPE at the workplace?

Every employer or company owner is responsible for the supply and use of PPE

in the workplace.
3. Why is it important to ensure the proper usage of PPE?

for risks and potential hazards in the work environment.

4. “Employers must detect workplace hazards and make efforts to mitigate them.” What is the
meaning of the underlined word?
That mean is the employers must be careful at the workplace,because we don’t know what will
happen to us and to minimalize accident.

5. What are some of the PPE you find on the slide?

Besides face shields, safety glasses, hard hats, and safety shoes, protective equipment includes a

variety of devices and garments such as goggles, coveralls, gloves, vests, earplugs, and respirators.

EXERCISE4: Reading

History: Trade by the wind

The development of ships went hand in hand with the development of the mankind. Ships became integral
parts of people's daily life, and war. Ships were the key drivers for explorations and scientific and
technological development in the history. Today, we can say that the usage of ships enabled the world
trade and had shaped the world's economy.
A boat type named The Chinese Junk was developed in 12th century. Chinese ships sailed in the South
China seas. The Chinese strengthened the hull by a bulkhead – a partition across the interior of the hull
but sometimes along its length as well. These bullheads made the hull rigid and also provided with
watertight compartments invaluable when a leak at the sea needed to be repaired.

As a result of the growing demand for a more rapid delivery of tea from China. Clippers were very fast
sailing ships with three or more masts and a square rig. The decline in the usage of clippers started with
the gradual introduction of steamships. Although clippers could reach much higher maximum speed than
steamships, they depended on the wind and thus could not be accounted as punctual.
As for steamers, they could keep the schedule and this made the more reliable.

Trade by the engine

The industrial revolution, new mechanical methods of propulsion, and the ability to construct ships from
metal triggered an explosion in ship design. The quest for more efficient ships and the increased capacity
of Maritime Industry created more specialised ships. Specialised ships built for entirely new functions,
such as firefighting, rescue, and research, also began to appear.

1. Explain the meaning of the phrases below!

a. integral parts of people's daily life:the meaning is the ship become place for people get salary for

living in the world

b. key drivers for explorations: as the transportasion

c. scientific and technological development :knowledge

2. Explain 2 reasons why the bulkhead was very important.

 The number of openings for pipes and access should be kept to minimum in order to retain the
strength of the bulkhead. In case such openings are provided, proper reinforcement must be
provided so as to prevent stress concentration, and retain water tightness of the structure. Proper
flanging must be incorporated in openings for pipelines and cables.

 Not more than one watertight door is allowed per watertight bulkhead. However, in case of ships
having twin shafts, there may be two watertight doors, each providing access to the two shaft
tunnels on either side. The mechanical gears required for manual operation of these doors must be
located outside the machinery spaces.

3.Mention 2 important differences between ocean-going merchant ships and clippers.

a.) size

The most important aspect that is considered while stating the difference between ocean going merchant
ship and clippers.The clippers is smaller than ocean going merchant ships
b.)   Navigation and Technology

The clippers haven’t used technology actually manual system but the ocean going merchant is better in
using technology

4.Mention 2 important differences between clippers and steamships in 1850

a)A steamship, often referred to as a steamer, is a type of steam-powered vessel, typically ocean-faring
and seaworthy, that is propelled by one or more steam engines[1] that typically move
(turn) propellers or paddlewheels, while clippers are driven with the help of the wind

5,Explain the meaning of triggered an explosion in ship design.

6.Give 3 examples of specialised ships.

Anchor Handling Tug Supply Vessels

Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) vessels are designed and equipped for anchor handling and towing operations. They
are also used for rescue purposes in emergency cases.
 Anchor Handling Tug Supply Vessel

Cable Laying Vessels

Cable laying vessels are used to lay cables on the bed of ocean floors for telecommunications, power transmissions and
other purposes.  These vessels are deep-sea marine vessels.
 Cablelayer

Drilling Vessels
Drilling vessels or drillships are marine vessels used for offshore drilling purposes. They are fitted with drilling apparatus
and are primarily used for exploratory offshore drilling. It can also be used as a platform to perform tasks related to oil
well maintenance or completion work such as casing and tubing installation, or subsea tree installation.
Drillship
 Fire Fighting Vessel

Ice Breaking Vessels

As the name suggests, Ice Breaking Vessels are specially designed to move and navigate through ice-covered water and
are used to make way for other marine vessels. They have a spoon-shaped bow portion to break the ice on its way.
 Icebreaker

Pipelaying vessel
A pipelaying vessel or pipelayer is a ship used in the construction of subsea infrastructure. It is used to lay pipes on the
sea bed to connect oil(or gas) production platforms with refineries on shore.
 Pipelayer

Seismic Vessels
Seismic vessels are vessels used for the purpose of seismic studies deep inside oceans. The ship is used as a survey vessel
to explore and locate best potential areas for oil drilling in the oceans.
