Minimize travel through the ship Coordinate with the OMT REP to develop a transit path utilizing reference 2.1.1 which will be followed by ship’s force, contractor personnel, and subcontractors.

Transit path shall include the following characteristics to the maximum extent practical: one-way traffic lanes, maximization of external pathways, and reduction of the total travel length to the workspace.

Signs shall be posted showing directions. Signs shall be of adequate quantity so at least one sigh can be seen from anywhere along the transit route. Contractor should use reference 2.1.1 to determine the appropriate quantity.

Laminated signs shall be posted on bulkheads throughout the ship reminding of CDC and MSC guidelines for reducing the spread of the virus. These include social distancing practices, PPE requirements (face mask), and regular washing or sanitizing of hands.

Coordinate with the OMT REP and ship’s force to secure spaces where there is no on-going work. If there is a door to enter the space it shall be locked and a placard shall be placed on the door stating the space is off limits, with the date the space is secured. If the space is open without a doorway then cordon off the area using physical barriers, such as chain, tape, etc., and an appropriate notice. The space may be briefly opened only during fire and flooding watch standing activities (detex rounds), if it is opened and accessed for other reasons it must be reported to the OMT.

Personal protective equipment and personnel screening for entry to the facility and vessel All personnel (contractor employees, subcontractors, and any other persons accessing the vessel) shall don PPE in accordance with the MSC QMS instruction Reference 2.1.4.

For maintenance at a contractor’s facility, develop and implement a medical screening process for all visitors, vendors, contractors and shipyard employees passing into the facility. Screening process shall at a minimum incorporate daily temperature reading, answering questionnaire such as Reference 2.1.2, and a method of validating that each person has completed and passed the temperature reading and questionnaire (e.g., daily sticker). In addition to the contractor’s screening, the Master or designated MSC personnel will screen all personnel accessing the ship with Reference 2.1.2 questionnaire and the contractor shall plan accordingly for this daily screening.

Handwashing stations:

Handwashing stations are to be provided at the quarterdeck and at each deck level. If ships potable water is secured portable hand wash stations are to be provided.

These supplies shall be checked twice daily or once per shift and re-stocked as required. This is in addition to the hand sanitation stations identified in work items 010 and 011.
