1. UNSAFE ACT
2. UNSAFE CONDITION

workers and nation, loss of reputation etc. Consequently, all efforts should channeled towards preventing accidents.

ROUNKO EXPRESS MARINE OIL & GAS SERVICES LTD ACCIDENT PREVENTION TECHNIQUES.
Knowing the hazards can prevent all accidents and by ensuring that appropriate safety measures / programmed are put in place. It is obvious that for a given task to be performed the components of functional system which are people tool (Equipment and materials) and environment must act and interact constantly with each other, either directly or indirectly. Accident occurs when there are deficiencies in any of these components. This knowledge forms the basis of our accident prevention techniques.

Prevention by elimination or reducing the sources of potential risks / hazards can be achieved in a numbers of ways:
To minimize / eliminate human errors, a careful selection of workers and adequate professional and safety training before, during and after work is conducted, as a result of which workers will always choose the safe option consciously or unconsciously.

To integrate into the operation, OMS management has:
a. Established definite written safety standard
b. Clearly outlined each employee and supervisor’s responsibility
c. Hold supervisor responsible for those working under him
d. Plan safety into each job process and provide suitable facilities
e. Supervise according to safety method with no deviation
f. Have a sincerity of purpose and insist on safe performance through the safety officer and supervisor to the men on the job.
g. Make frequent inspections on all departments / vessels of condition and practices.

To tackles any deficiency that may emanate from tools, OMS ensures that plants and equipment do not fail and cause injury and damage. This is done through a provision requiring that equipment such as hoist and lifts, chains, rope and lifting tackles, crane and pressure vessel including vehicles and other machines which could fail due to
