Safety Management

BBMS is dedicated to the highest standards of corporate citizenship: caring for the health and safety of its people, safeguarding the environment, and leaving a positive mark on the communities where it works.

What we provide

  • Safety audits
  • Safety training
  • Writing of safety policies and safety manuals
  • Provision of HSE personnel

Only a competent, well-motivated team does the job in the best way for the client. That is why every person BBMS puts forward is vetted before they are offered.

How we vet people

  1. Specified minimum training standards are applied, as per IMCA D 014 and the AD EHSMS regulatory framework.
  2. Original documentation and qualifications are examined.
  3. Résumés are checked against logbooks to verify claimed work experience.
  4. Reference contacts from at least the last two employers are required.
  5. Qualifications and references are randomly re-checked.
  6. Depending on the circumstances, personnel found to have knowingly supplied false or misleading information are dismissed.

Safety and security codes

BBMS and its fleet comply fully with the requirements of the International Maritime Organization, including the International Safety Management (ISM) Code and the International Code for the Security of Ships and Port Facilities (ISPS).

That conformity is what lets a Document of Compliance be issued to the company and a Safety Management Certificate to each vessel in the fleet. All vessels are also certified by the Flag State administration for the ISPS Code, and each carries an International Ship Security Certificate.

Audits and inspections

Regular internal ISM, ISO and ISPS audits and safety inspections are carried out on board by qualified, experienced superintendents using current guidelines and best industry practice. The BBMS office follows up closely so that observations and findings are addressed at the root to prevent recurrence. The office itself is subject to internal and external audits for continued compliance with the ISM Code and applicable standards.

Every BBMS-managed ship is prepared at any time for Port State Control, Flag State, oil-major, USCG and other regulatory inspections and audits. Ship staff are supported continuously in keeping ships in good condition, documents in order, and company and industry procedures in use. Company representatives run training workshops on board to explain those policies and procedures.
