2、S Plaza 16855 Northchase Drive Houston, TX 77060 USA Foreword Foreword (1 September 2017) Working and living onboard vessels imposes a series of generally low-frequency mechanical vibrations as well as single-impulse shock loads on the human body. Also, exposure to noise is characteristic aboard ves

3、sels. Low-frequency vibrations are created by vessel motions, which are produced by the various sea states in conjunction with vessel speed and point of sail. These motions can result in motion sickness, body instability, interruptions of task performance, sleep interruption and fatigue, increased h

4、ealth risk aggravated by shock loads due to slam, and reduced human efficiency. Higher-frequency vibration influences comfort and is often associated with rotating machinery. The imposition of higher frequency vibrations (about 1 to 80 Hz) induces corresponding motions and forces within the human bo

5、dy creating discomfort and reduced human efficiency. With regard to noise, the above can similarly affect exposed humans, notably with sleep interruption and resulting fatigue, discomfort, and reduced efficiency. Also of concern are transient and permanent hearing loss, masking of audible signals, a

6、nd interruption of speech communication. The concerns related to levels and characteristics of noise and vibration are covered in a series of ABS Guides related to habitability on ships and offshore structures*. To be granted any of the associated habitability notations, specific noise and vibration

7、 criteria must be met. ABS clients in pursuit of these notations have requested guidance on how to control levels of noise and vibration in inhabited spaces. As a result, these Guidance Notes for Noise and Vibration Control in Inhabited Spaces have been created. The information presented in this doc

8、ument is for guidance only, and is intended to support vessel designers and operators in controlling vessel noise and vibration in the general case, and more specifically in meeting the requirements of the ABS Habitability Guides. Adherence to some or all of the guidance in this document affords no

9、guarantee that a habitability notation will be granted. The September 2017 edition of these Guidance Notes incorporates information from the new IMO Code on Noise Levels On-board Ships (IMO Resolution MSC.337(91) and the International Labour Organizations Maritime Labour Convention (ILO MLC). These

10、Guidance Notes become effective on the first day of the month of publication. Users are advised to check periodically on the ABS website www.eagle.org to verify that this version of these Guidance Notes is the most current. We welcome your feedback.

23、 SPACES .2017 v This Page Intentionally Left Blank Section 1: General SECTION 1 General 1 Introduction 1.1 General Work-related hearing loss and vibration-related health effects are critical workplace safety and health issues. Seafarers may experience motion sickness, body instability, fatigue, and

24、noise-induced hearing loss, one of the most common occupational diseases. Adverse/improper noise and vibration levels can also cause speech interference, mask warning signals, interfere with concentration and thought processes, disrupt sleep, and create harmful living and working conditions. If desi

25、gned appropriately, however, vessels complying with proper noise and vibration levels can provide an environment for improved crew performance, safety, comfort, and communication, and have an overall positive psychological effect on seafarers. 1.3 Addressing Noise and Vibration (1 September 2017) Th

26、e recommended way to meet noise and vibration criteria is to undertake noise and vibration analyses very early in the design process and apply appropriate controls to mitigate areas of potential concern. Noise and vibration analysis includes: Identifying sources of noise and vibration Modeling noise

27、 and vibration within the vessel Calculation of exciting forces (frequency and amplitude) Location of force application and response of the vessel structure in the positions of interest Modeling the source-path-receiver phenomenon Using this information to review the existing design for opportunitie

28、s to improve noise and vibration levels Therefore, this analysis requires methods which can use design information as input data and calculate the expected noise and vibration levels at positions of interest. It is suggested that the exciting forces should be determined for conditions when the propu

29、lsion machinery runs at not less than 80 percent maximum continuous rating (MCR) for noise and between 80 and 105% for structural vibration analyses. 1.5 New Industry Requirements (1 September 2017) There are several industry requirements relating to noise exposure levels for seafarers. These includ

30、e the IMO Code on Noise and the International Labour Organizations (ILO) Maritime Labour Convention, 2006. 1.5.1 IMO Code on Noise On 1 July 2014, the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) was amended to make the “Code on Noise Levels On Board Ships” (the Noise Code) mandato

31、ry for new vessels. The IMO Code on Noise Levels On-board Ships (IMO Resolution MSC.337(91) is now in force and includes requirements limiting noise for certain types of vessels in excess of 1600 gross tons. The Code also includes noise from the operation of thrusters and from noise in port that is

32、related to cargo operations. There are also requirements for acoustic insulation. ABSGUIDANCE NOTES ON NOISE AND VIBRATION CONTROL FOR INHABITED SPACES .2017 1 Section 1 General This Resolution sets out mandatory maximum noise level limits for machinery spaces, control rooms, workshops, accommodatio

33、n and other spaces on board ships. The Code supersedes the previous non-mandatory Code, adopted in 1981 by resolution A.468 (XII). The purpose of the new Code is to provide standards on preventing noise levels hazardous to human health and reduce seafarers exposure to such noise levels. It gives con

34、sideration to the need for communication, the ability to hear audible alarms, the protection of seafarers from possible noise-induced hearing loss, and the provision of an acceptable degree of comfort during rest hours. The new IMO criteria have been incorporated into the existing ABS suite of Habit

35、ability Guides supporting the various HAB notations. These are the: ABS Guide for Crew Habitability on Ships ABS Guide for Crew Habitability on Workboats ABS Guide for Crew Habitability on Offshore Installations ABS Guide for Crew Habitability on Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODUs) ABS Guide for

36、Habitability of Industrial Personnel on Accommodation Vessels 1.5.2 ILO MLC 2006 The International Labor Organization (ILO) Maritime Labour Convention (MLC), 2006 was ratified and came into force in August of 2013 by port States having adopted the Convention. Within the maritime sphere, the ILO prov

37、ides legal instruments aimed at protecting and improving seafarers working and living conditions. The Convention provides the, as yet, most comprehensive Code regarding seafarers rights, and the obligations of States and shipowners with respect to these rights. The Convention incorporates the fundam

38、ental principles of many ILO Conventions and brings together and updates 68 existing ILO instruments (Conventions and Recommendations) into one document. The MLC has Regulations, both objective and subjective, relating to whole-body vibration and noise levels aboard vessels. Examples are listed belo

39、w: i) Regulation A3.1.6(h) states: “accommodation and recreational and catering facilities shall meet the requirements in Regulation 4.3, and the related provisions in the Code, on health and safety protection and accident prevention, with respect to preventing the risk of exposure to hazardous leve

40、ls of noise and vibration and other ambient factors and chemicals on board ships, and to provide an acceptable occupational and on-board living environment for seafarers.” ii) MLC Regulation A3.1.6(h) calls out Regulation 4.3. Below are listed the physical design and arrangement related aspects of R

41、egulation 4.3 including: a) A4.3.1(b) “reasonable precautions to prevent occupational accidents, injuries and diseases on board ship, including measures to reduce and prevent the risk of exposure to harmful levels of ambient factors and chemicals as well as the risk of injury or disease that may ari

42、se from the use of equipment and machinery on board ships.” NOTE: Ambient factors refer to improper levels of vibration, noise, lighting, and indoor climatic qualities. b) A4.3.2(a) “take account of relevant international instruments dealing with occupational safety and health protection in general

43、and with specific risks, and address all matters relevant to the prevention of occupational accidents, injuries and diseases that may be applicable to the work of seafarers and particularly those which are specific to maritime employment;” NOTE: Occupational disease refers to disorders such as noise

44、-induced hearing loss, tinnitus, and musculoskeletal injuries/disorders (e.g., lower and upper back and neck issues). 2 ABSGUIDANCE NOTES ON NOISE AND VIBRATION CONTROL FOR INHABITED SPACES .2017 Section 1 General c) A4.3.4 “Compliance with the requirements of applicable international instruments on

45、 the acceptable levels of exposure to workplace hazards on board ships and on the development and implementation of ships occupational safety and health policies and programmes shall be considered as meeting the requirements of this Convention.” The more common international instruments related to t

46、he “ambient factors” of noise and vibration are the new IMO Code on Noise and ISO 6954: 2000, Mechanical vibration Guidelines for the measurement, reporting and evaluation of vibration with regard to habitability on passenger and merchant ships. The IMO Code on Noise and the ISO 6954 vibration crite

47、ria have been incorporated into the existing ABS suite of Habitability Guides supporting the various HAB notations and into the ABS Guide for Compliance with the ILO MLC, 2006 Title 3 Requirements, and the associated MLC-ACCOM notation. Both of these notations support the demonstration of vessel com

48、pliance with the physical design and arrangement requirements, including acceptable conditions of onboard ambient environmental factors of MLC Title 3. Neither of these Guides address the procedural or management system requirements required by the ILO MLC. 3 Application (1 September 2017) These Gui

49、dance Notes are intended to assist the marine community (shipyards, designers, regulators, and owners) in addressing noise and vibration issues and important design parameters. The information in these Guidance Notes is recommendatory and should be strongly considered when designing any new vessel in order to provide the safest and most productive working environment for seafarers. The cost of fixing noise or vibration issues can be as much as ten times more expensive after construction than if incorporated into the design from the preliminar
