Welcome! from the IARC Director and NABOS Project Leader

Dear 2007 Arctic Expedition Participants:

We welcome you to the Nansen and Amundsen Observational System (NABOS) 2007 Arctic Expedition aboard nuclear icebreaker Yamal.

This is our sixth NABOS scientific cruise to the Arctic Ocean. We are very happy that this cruise brings together people from many international research institutions and programs. This expedition will become an important element of the IPY enhancing international cooperation, resulting in shared research infrastructure, updated databases, and fostering of synergy and interdisciplinary dialog.

As you may know, the NABOS observations showed that pulses of anomalously warm water entered the Arctic Ocean suggesting that the Arctic Ocean is in transition to a new, warmer state. We are confident that this expedition will provide key information about unprecedented transitions occurring in the Arctic Ocean becoming an important component of the Arctic Observational Network.

We hope that your experience in this important year for the polar research will be personally satisfying and become an important milestone in your careers.

With best wishes for a successful and enjoyable time during this Arctic voyage.

Sincerely,

Larry Hinzman Igor Polyakov Director, IARC NABOS Project Leader

Policy on Alcoholic Beverages

Policy on Alcoholic Beverages on Research Vessels Owned or Chartered by the University of Alaska (hereafter referred to as ‘UAF research vessel or UAF ship’) for the Purpose of Conducting Research

The following policy is established to ensure a working and living environment aboard UAF research vessels that is free of alcoholic beverages in compliance with UNOLS policies. All personnel should recognize the potential risks and hazards presented by use of alcoholic beverages aboard a working ship.

I. Alcohol Policy a. Any person aboard any UAF ship, whether Master, crew or members of the scientific party, shall not • Bring any alcoholic beverages aboard ship. • Possess any alcoholic beverages aboard ship. • Consume any alcoholic beverages aboard ship. • Consume alcoholic beverages while on duty ashore or afloat. • Report for duty or watch under the influence of alcohol, at sea or in port. b. Any person participating in the research cruise who has in his/her possession or is in receipt of alcohol as a gift, shall immediately secure the alcohol in bond while aboard with subsequent removal from the ship by the Master, who shall comply with all applicable laws, fees and rules at the port in question for return to the individual. Provision of such bonded carriage is approved by the Master before any supplies are loaded aboard. c. An exception to the Alcohol Policy is allowed for purposes of entertainment at official receptions aboard the ship. Each such reception must be pre- approved individually by the Dean or Director of the Department or Institute sponsoring the research mission. The reception and consumption shall be supervised by the Master or his/her designated officer. All consumption shall take place in a space designated for the entertainment, and all unused supplies shall be secured at the close of the reception. No individual shall remove any part of the reception alcohol supplies from the designated space at any time.

21 d. The Master is permitted to load and carry in secured storage alcohol for purposes of official entertainment on board, as stated in c. above.

II. Chief Scientist’s Authority and Responsibility a. The Chief Scientist, if so delegated by the Master, may be responsible for the conduct of all members of the scientific party. Chief Scientists are required to ensure that all members of the scientific party are aware of the rules.

III. Master’s Authority and Responsibility a. The Master has legal responsibility for the safety of the ship and all personnel aboard and administrative authority to enforce these rules. The Master is authorized: • To search any part of the ship at any time (based on reasonable suspicion or information) for alcoholic beverages or any other contraband) • To remove, impound, confiscate or destroy any alcoholic beverages or other contraband found.

IV. Notification Requirements Copies of this policy are to be posted in prominent locations in or near the Mess Hall and Main Laboratory of each vessel. Crew members are informed of this policy at the time of hire. Scientific personnel and participants are informed of this policy through pre-cruise paperwork and through the onboard briefing at the beginning of the cruise.

NABOS Expedition 2007 Safety Guidelines aboard the I/B YAMAL

Developed by the NABOS group in consultation with UAF Risk Management and Captain Tom Smith, University of Alaska Marine Superintendent

I. Introduction This document, in conjunction with the attached document “RVOC Safety Training Manual, chapter 1 Research Party Supplement” (Attachment 3) is intended to describe the safety protocols to be employed during the NABOS expedition. Additionally, the authority structure of the expedition and a system of watches will be described because a safe working environment is directly affected by an ordered operation during scientific activities conducted by personnel who are well rested. Participation in scientific operations requires that you have read these documents. All participants of the expedition should understand that inherent risk is associated with shipboard operations. Operations occur around the clock, twenty-four hours per day. We work with heavy equipment, near and over the side of a vessel. Conditions can be windy, icy, slippery and cold. Rough weather can cause the vessel to pitch and roll. Additionally, we are working aboard a ship-of-opportunity, and not a dedicated research vessel, and therefore certain operations must be improvised. This manual is part of an effort to establish a culture of safety during the expedition that will try and make all operations as safe as possible.

22 If any participant has a concern, or if they think something is unsafe, or if they have suggestions on how to improve operations, they should communicate their concerns and/or suggestions to their shift operations safety officer and/or to the cruise chief scientist.

It is the policy of the NABOS group that safety comes first and science comes second

II. Chain of Command a) On a ship, the Captain is ultimately responsible for the safety of the passengers. The Captain has authority over all operations which impact the safety of participants or the safety of the ship itself. b) Because of the unique nature of our charter aboard a ship of opportunity, and as described in the NABOS charter agreement with Murmansk Shipping Company, certain responsibilities are given to the scientific party. UAF personnel have authority over the AARI personnel who run the hydrographic stations. c) The Chief Scientist for the cruise is Dr. Igor Dmitrenko. Except where superseded by the authority of the ship’s Captain, he has ultimate authority with regard to scientific operations. As he cannot be expected to be available and working 24 hours per day, there will be three watch safety officers, Drs. Harper Simmons and Vladimir Ivanov from IARC, and Sergey Kirillov from AARI. During mooring operations, the mooring technicians will be in charge of operations, and will be expected to determine the window of safety appropriate to the circumstances. d) Expedition participants are encouraged to point out unsafe operations or conditions to the on-duty watch officer. Under such circumstances, it is the responsibility of the watch officer to assess the situation, and make a decision about how or if the operation should proceed.

III. Establishment of Watches Every oceanographic station will be supervised by an individual who is highly experienced with oceanographic operations: a watch officer. This individual is responsible for supervising, including directing the general safety of operations. This person has the authority to halt operations, et cetera. This person should be experienced with directing the ship when lines are in the water and solving problems such as back-lashed winches, et cetera. Under extreme circumstances such as issues with winches or lines or equipment, the on-duty watch officer should involve the most experienced person on the boat to help resolve the issue, if necessary waking them up. The watch officer may participate in the operations as is reasonable, but should not be essential to such operations in order that they may be able to step back, observe, and direct. Each participating group shall communicate to the Chief Scientist a 24-hour watch schedule for their activity with hours, personnel and room numbers, and who should be notified of an upcoming station during each shift. During our scientific survey, the responsible Watch Officer will be responsible for notifying the group leader of each watch as a station is approached. The daily operation plan, including schedule of watches (Attachment 1), will be posted in public areas at decks 5, 6 and 7 after the 7 p.m. daily meetings of co-chief scientists and principal investigators. This is only the document to advise the Captain or his Chief Mate on duty to carry out research activity. Any corrections must be authorized by the Chief Scientist or Watch Officer on duty. The Watch Officer completes the Station List (Attachment 2) reporting all performed research activities. During the oceanographic station no research activity is allowed without notification and only upon permission of the Watch Officer. Only the Watch Officer is authorized to communicate with the Captain or his Chief Mate on duty regarding any performed research operations.

IV. Personal Safety Equipment: All expedition personnel will be required to wear a suitable hard hat when in the area of scientific operations. Recognizing the extreme climate that we operate in, this helmet should be of 23 the type that can easily be worn over a hat. Cold weather liners should be provided. Failure to wear adequate equipment may mean that you are dismissed from operations until you are properly attired. It is the responsibility of the Watch Officer to enforce this. Long hair should be properly secured. Jewelry such as rings should be removed. Personnel should wear protective eye wear (safety glasses) when working in close proximity to equipment or operations that potentially expose them to eye hazards. Additionally, safety-toed shoes or boots will be worn when working with or near loads that could impact or roll onto the foot area. We have had good luck with these workboots: http://www.muckbootsonline.com/steel_toe_chore_work_boot.html

All safety-related training will be documented with topic of training, name of trainee, and training content.

V. Safety practices demonstration and drills A safety practices seminar on the operations deck will be conducted where typical issues and proper practices are discussed. a) Topics to be discussed: dynamic loading, wire inspection and safety, operations in under roll, backlashing of a winch, et cetera. b) Demonstration of proper procedures for handling of loads in under roll: Use of tag lines and stays. The Russian crane operators should participate in this. Tag lines should be rigged for all ice-free operations, as they are difficult to rig rapidly if needed. They only need to be secured when the watch officer determines their need. c) Expedition participants are required to watch the UNOLS safety video.

VI. Mooring operations These operations are the most dangerous at-sea operation. There are a number of convenient vantage points where these operations can be observed. There is a core team of mooring technicians who are responsible for mooring operations day or night, whenever a station comes along. Fully manned shifts will be established before all mooring operations.

The mooring team and Chief Scientist will gather all participants in mooring deployments together prior to the operation to discuss the upcoming activity. Difficult/risky procedures will be identified as well as overall work-flow.

VII. Safety consciousness The NABOS team will strive to cultivate a culture of safety where people are encouraged to voice concerns and have them answered.

VII. Student Participants Our operations are separated into routine hydrographic stations, mooring operations, and other logistical support operations such as loading/unloading and testing of the oceanographic equipment. The student participants are allowed to participate in the routine hydrographic operations only if they are wearing appropriate safety equipment such as reasonable work clothes for the conditions, hard-hats, and steel-toed boots. As any routine operation can develop into a non-routine one, it is the responsibility of the watch officer to ask student participants to withdraw to a safe distance so that problems can be rectified. Under no circumstances should a student participant attempt to solve a problem. To give but one example, a winch that is paid out too rapidly can easily “backlash” and under load, can represent a dangerous situation. Operations that students are permitted to take part in are Rosette data upload, water sample taking, and XCTD sounding. Over-the-side operations such as rigging, deployment, and recovery of the Rosette are not to be conducted by student personnel.

24 IX. Safe Operating Conditions As stated in our charter, it is the responsibility of the ship’s captain to determine the safe operating conditions of the vessel, and the science party will defer to the Captain’s judgment if conditions exceed the operating capacity of the vessel. Complementary to this, the Chief Scientist or the Watch Officer will have the authority to halt operations if conditions are deemed unsafe. During any operation, any member of the party should bring safety concerns to the attention of the watch officer or mooring technician who has the authority to evaluate the situation and make a decision about how to proceed, or to shut down the operation, as their judgment warrants. During mooring deployment and recovery, the mooring technicians have the authority to conduct the operation safely, and if he/she feels that the operation cannot be completed safely, to abort the operation.

X. Crane considerations Our charter authorizes the Murmansk Shipping Company to perform operations in support of our oceanographic research activities at sea using the fore and aft cranes. a) We have been notified by the Captain that the YAMAL aft-deck crane is limited to operations in which the ship’s roll is not to exceed 5°. It is the policy of the NABOS expedition that we will defer the Captain’s authority in enforcing this operating threshold, as he has wisely done in the past. Additionally, good common sense, professional judgment, and principles of seamanship should be our guide in making these decisions. b) A system of crane signals will be established and communicated to the crane operators. XI. North Pole Ice-camp a) Ice camp requires a special set of considerations. The Chief Scientist will first test the ice with probes to determine the suitability of the ice conditions for making an ice camp. Once the safety of the ice has been established, expedition members will be permitted to venture onto the ice. b) Hazardous regions such as melt-ponds, et cetera will be flagged and must be avoided. c) Polar bears are a potential danger while on the ice. There will not be an armed guard available. However, a watch will be maintained on the bridge at all times while expedition members are on the ice. The ships horn will be blasted to notify parties on the ice of their need to return to the vessel.

XII Accident/Incident Reporting and Notification

1. Individuals involved in an accident/incident have the responsibility to notify the Chief Scientist, or other authorized Watch Officer, immediately after the accident, or incident, has occurred. The person involved in an accident will complete a University of Alaska Accident/Incident Report (Attachment 4) at their earliest convenience and forward to the Chief Scientist, or other authorized Watch Officer. If the person involved in the accident/incident is unable to complete the report, it will be completed by the Chief Scientist or other authorized Watch Officer. Accident/Incident Report forms can be found at http://www.uaf.edu/safety. Completed forms will be faxed to Environmental Health, Safety, and Risk Management (EHS/RM) at 907-474-5489 within 48 hours.

2. In the event a work-related injury/illness requires hospitalization, or is fatal, the Chief Scientist or authorized Watch Officer will notify EHS/RM immediately to facilitate mandated reporting to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Patients admitted to the ship’s infirmary, under the physician’s direct care for 8 hours or more, will be considered “hospitalized”. When contacting EHS/RM regarding a hospitalization/death, please include the following information: patient name, location of accident, time of accident, a contact person and the telephone number of the contact person, a brief description of the accident, the number of fatalities or hospitalized employees, and the extent of any injuries. EHS/RM will make the required notification to OSHA based on the

25 information provided. Failure to notify OSHA within 8 hours of hospitalization or fatality can result in citations and monetary penalties assessed to UAF, specifically the department failing to make the notification to EHS/RM. It is imperative that EHS/RM be contacted as soon as there is knowledge of an impending hospitalization, or a fatality occurs, to facilitate this OSHA notification.

3. In the event there are any questions regarding these procedures, how to report a hospitalization or a fatality, or if you need to consult with a safety officer, please contact EHS/RM at (907) 474-5413. After hours, weekends, holidays, etc., call University Emergency Dispatch at (907) 474-7721 and they can relay the message to an EHS/RM safety officer.

4. State of Alaska Report of Occupational Injury or Illness (Attachment 5), also referred to as the Workers' Compensation Form, should be completed for all accidents requiring medical treatment and/or hospitalization, or time off work due to work-related injury/illness, or when an injured employee loses consciousness. If in doubt, contact EHS&RM for guidance on when and how to complete this form. Unfortunately, these forms are not available online so hard copies need to be hand-carried to your field operations. The Chief Scientist or other authorized Watch Officer will complete a Report of Occupational Injury or Illness within 10 days of the date of the accident. Completed accident forms should be distributed as follows: The Blue copy must be sent to the Alaska Workers' Compensation Board in Juneau, Alaska; the address can be found on the front of the form. The Pink copy should be sent to ESH&RM, the white copy must be sent to Statewide Risk Management, and the employee keeps the Yellow/Green copies. As typical mail service will not be available, these forms can be faxed to the Department of Statewide Risk Management at (907) 450-8151. Failure to report claims in a timely manner may result in an assessment of penalties against the University by State agencies. Departments will be responsible for paying any fees arising out of their delayed reporting.
