A near miss is an unplanned event that did not
result in injury, illness, or damage – but had the
potential to do so. Only a fortunate break in the
chain of events prevents an injury, fatality or damage; in other words, a miss that was nonetheless
very near.
If we can spot the unsafe conditions there is a high
likelyhood that we can avoid the unsafe act, near
miss and accident. If we are able to alert each
other and have a high safety awareness we would
be able to stop the unsafe act, avoiding the near
miss and accident. If we miss the two first
opportunities, we still have one more chance to
avoid the accident. Namely: report and discuss
the near miss, in order to prevent personal injury or
accident to hull and machinery.
Look at the cartoon to the right and perhaps
discuss it with your collegues. Do you agree with
the above terms? If you agree upon the terms, then how can you prevent the nearmiss by spotting the unsafe act and/ or condition?)

HSEQ Reports
NT #258 02-11-15
Vessel: Regina Baltica - Non-conformity
Report regarding: Rumour about mold on bread
Description: One technician mentioned that he got bread with mould from breadboxes in the restaurant area. He got the
bread in the morning, packing his lunch box. When unpacking the bread at lunchtime, he found mould on it.
Action: First we tried covering the bread in towels instead of putting it in plastic boxes, but, as the bread became very
dry very fast when doing this, we are now back to plastic boxes. We are now trying something else; instead of warming the bread
before serving it, we now only defrost and serve it. No warm air trapped in the plastic box, so hopefully no mould.
HSEQ: No comments
NT #256 03-11-15
Vessel: Regina Baltica - Medical treatment case
Report regarding: Stewardess with hernial protrusion
Description: A stewardess has hermial femoral, that has moved during the last day. This is not work related, however
during lifting at work, this might have increased. Before signing on, she had reducible hernia and irreducible hernia, on board she
got obstructed hernia - so the severity has increased. Believed to be likely (not as a death lost!) as the next stage is called; strangulated hernia - meaning an emergency operation.
Action: The stewardess has been signing off RB with CTV. She has been send home. She is not fit for duty.

HSEQ Reports
NT #259 05-11-15
Vessel: Regina Baltica - Near miss
Report regarding: Part of celling falling down
Description: A part of the celling fell down in staircase 6P on deck #4. the sliding door to/from deck #4, staircase 6P is
normally closing smoothly. From time to time is closes a bit harder, and it is believed that this harder closing has made the celling
plate come loose and causing the plate to fall. A technician went through the door from the staircase onto the car deck, the sliding door slammed harder than normal, and the celling plate came down. If the technician had walked from the car deck to the
staircase, the celling plate would have hit his head.
Action: Celling plates by other sliding doors has been checked, and found to be in place. New celling plate has replaced
the plate that fell down yesterday, and light has been moved to a new location and is no longer a part of this plate. See the pictures below.
