What type of training must crew members receive regarding MHE?

Crew members must receive specific equipment training regarding Material Handling Equipment (MHE) to ensure they are adequately prepared to operate the equipment safely and effectively. This type of training focuses on the unique characteristics, operational procedures, and safety protocols associated with the particular equipment they will be using.

By focusing on specific equipment training, crew members can learn the ins and outs of the MHE, including safety features, load capacities, maintenance requirements, and emergency procedures. This training is essential because improper handling of MHE can lead to accidents, injuries, or damage to the ship and its cargo.

While basic safety training, cross-training, and general administrative training may provide a foundational understanding of safety and operational protocols, specific equipment training is crucial for ensuring that crew members are fully prepared to operate the equipment safely and effectively in the context of shipboard explosive safety operations.
