PORT RISK MANAGEMENT(1)
Port safety is a shared concern; a joint
enterprise which involves many players, with a cast that
extends far beyond the port operator and its customers. In a
society that has become firmly risk averse and intolerant of
any accident, the science of risk management must be widely
practiced and moreover capable of public demonstration in a
transparent fashion.
The management of risks in the port is a changing, widening
field; one that has moved from the marine risks of moving
ships in shallow waters and the health and safety of port
workers, to take in many more issues and involve many more
interests. The public and political expectations of "perfect"
safety now take in many environmental aspects of the port and
its surrounds, while the local inhabitants, whether they work
in port related industry or not, can be expected to involve
themselves fully in discussions of risk and the quality of
port operations. Those concerned with local, regional or
national port policy cannot ignore the presence of these
widening port "populations".
Every facet of the port and its operations now finds itself
exposed to critical scrutiny where issues of risk are
concerned. The criteria surrounding marine risks and their
management will be minutely examined by port management
anxious to minimize risk of accident from ships which are
getting bigger and demanding more precise navigation and
prompt service.
Health and safety also reflects a climate of risk adversity,
with practices thought acceptable in the past challenged ,
often demanding safer operating procedures . Increased
mechanization, along with the use of more heavy machinery ,
and the constant pressure on performance brings with it
additional risks, and requirements for their management.
