|
Violation:
A review of the production log noted numerous instances where the time of the free chlorine residual test was not recorded. The only indication of the time was that the test occurred during a 4-hour shift. Given this log it was possible to exceed the 4-hour limit between tests. This was noted during the last inspection.
There were some blank cells in the log where the free chlorine residual should have been recorded. Per the engineer production had stopped. There was no indication in the logs of the start and stop times for production of water for the potable water system.
|
|
Recommendation:
Ensure that free residual halogen monitoring is performed at least hourly during the bunkering of potable water and performed at least once every 4 hours during the onboard production of potable water. Ensure that accurate records of this monitoring are maintained aboard for 12 months and are available to the VSP for review during inspections. Ensure that the time that the tests are conducted are recorded in the log. Additionally, record the start and stop times for production so that blank cells become self-explanatory.
