Safety Alert 21-01 (Pilot Transfer Arrangements) V1.0
SAFETY ALERT 2021-01 Version No. 1 Issue Date 08/01/2021 Pilot transfer arrangements 1. Purpose 1.1. This Safety Alert is issued by The Bahamas Maritime Authority (BMA) to bring the results of the International Maritime Pilot Association (IMPA) Safety Campaign 2020 to the attention of seafarers, pilots, owners, managers and Classification Societies. 2. Introduction 2.1 IMPA represents the international community of pilots. It conducts an annual safety campaign with the objective of reporting pilots’ experiences of ladders and boarding equipment to the International Maritime Organization and the wider shipping community. This year’s campaign is especially relevant following the tragic death of two pilots, whilst attempting to board vessels using combination ladders, since the last campaign. 2.2 2020’s campaign received 6394 reports from pilots operating across the world. Broadly in line with previous years’ findings, 12.11% of arrangements were reported to be non- compliant with combination ladders and pilot ladders having the most defects by both number and percentage. SA 2021-01 SAFETY ALERT Page 1 of 4 SAFETY ALERT [YEAR CREATED]-01 3. Common defects 3.1 Broadly, reported defects can be categorised in to four areas: design, procedure, rigging and maintenance. 3.2 Procedural issues can be avoided through clear communication and implementation of requirements: 3.3 Defects identified in the rigging and maintenance of ladders are generally self- explanatory and can be reduced through an effective planned maintenance regime and consistent application of guidance: 3.4 Many of the common issues found with securing of pilot ladders are steps taken by crews as a way to work around constraints imposed by deck cargo, loading or other prevailing circumstances. -

Career Ladders Research in the California Community Colleges Presented to The League for Innovation Linda Collins Regina Stanback Stroud William Watson March 7, 2005 With Thanks To… o Board of Governors - California Community Colleges o Chancellor’s Office - California Community Colleges o David and Lucile Packard Foundation o Foothill-De Anza Career Ladders/Help Desk Project o Foundation for California Community Colleges o James Irvine Foundation o Walter and Elise Haas Fund o William and Flora Hewlett Foundation THE VISION o The community colleges are an effective and central part of a unified approach to workforce development in California—one that is founded on career ladders, universal, seamless, regional, strategic and collaborative. o All the components of the workforce development system are working together in an integrated fashion. A system of career ladders provides opportunity for all Californians to attain jobs that provide a living wage and to advance to positions requiring greater skills, responsibilities, and accordingly, higher pay. o Employer needs are better met, and workforce and economic development in California is enhanced by the increasing supply of skilled workers. (Ladders of Opportunity, BOG-CCC 2001) Career Ladders can help students: n Move within and across programs in the college n Move between the college and other educational institutions n Benefit from the multiple missions of the CCC’s – basic skills, vocational education, general education, and transfer n Move along educational and career pathways n -
Ladders – Issue Eight
LADDERS The recruit newsletter of the South Euclid Fire Department Climbing to a career as a firefighter in the South Euclid Fire Department, one rung at a time. Issue Eight Your Resume Is your resume ready to go? Have you ever written a resume? In this issue we will discuss resumes, first working on items to put in the resume and then how to prepare the resume. A proper and well written resume will not help you advance your career unless it contains the experience and training employers are looking for. These qualifications can be worked on while you pursue your dream job. The focus must be on what makes you an exceptional candidate. You should work on your basic training first, fire school and medic school. Experience is very valuable, even if it is part time, volunteer or in a field related to firefighting. Even your non-fire education can be an asset. Degrees in fire related fields are preferred but even degrees in non-fire related fields show your strength in education. There are numerous opportunities for you to add to your resume. Consider on-line classes that are low cost or free. Work on other certifications such as fire inspector, instructor or arson investigation. All of these relevant items on your resume demonstrate your training, skills and passion for the job. Other items such as involvement in community organizations help the potential employer see that you care about the community. The actual resume is not hard to write. The internet is full of help and examples. Resumes should be easy to read, and contain only relevant information. -

Downtown Neighborhood City of Niagara Falls: Phase I
Intensive Level Survey Historic Resources – Downtown Neighborhood City of Niagara Falls: Phase I 3.0 Historical Overview This section provides a narrative history of the City of Niagara Falls with specific emphasis on the Downtown neighborhood. The overview addresses significant trends and themes associated with the city’s historic context. The Downtown neighborhood’s period of significance is identified and examined in this chapter. Martin Wachadlo, architectural historian, conducted the background historic research. 3.1 Niagara County: Physiology and Geology Figure 3-1. Niagara Falls, Niagara Falls, New York Niagara County borders the southern shore of Lake Ontario in the extreme northwestern corner of New York State, and occupies part of the Huron and Ontario Plains. The Ontario Plain comprises part of Lake Ontario to the foot of the Niagara Escarpment1, and the Huron plain extends from the crest of the escarpment southward beyond the county line. The Niagara Escarpment begins in Watertown, New York, USA and extends westerly along the Manitoulin Island in the Province of Ontario, Canada. The escarpment continues through Wisconsin and Illinois. With geological material measuring 64-ft thick, the stratigraphy at Niagara Falls provides a glimpse into the overall rock types comprising the Niagara Escarpment (Figure 3-1). The top layer is Lockport Dolomite, a hard rock referred to as the "Lower Silurian Group." Below the top layer is Rochester Shale, which is much softer and wears away easily with the effects of erosion. Under the shale are harder strata of limestone and dolostone known as the "Clinton Group." Below the harder strata is Grimsby sandstone. -
