Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers conferred by the said section, and of all other powers enabling him in this behalf, and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby make the following regulations, and doth hereby declare that the said regulations shall come into force on the date of the publication thereof in the New Zealand Gazette.

REGULATIONS.

1. WHEN cargo is being worked on board a vessel the master thereof shall see that the following things are done, viz. :

(a.) There shall be a fore and aft space of at least 11 ft. between the fore or after end of hatch-coamings and the nearest cross-beam or between cross-beams, and, where necessary, sufficient hatch beams shall be unshipped and moved clear of the hatchways to give such space: Provided that in vessels whose hatches are less than 11 ft. fore and aft measurement all cross-beams and fore-and-afters in the hatches shall be unshipped and moved clear of the hatchways. All hatch-beams which are not unshipped must be properly secured to prevent their becoming unshipped should a sling of cargo catch underneath them: Provided further that hatch-beams need not be unshipped when coal is being shipped into the hatches in bulk.

(b.) The deck-approaches to hatch-ladders shall be kept clear of all obstructions.

(c.) All pipes which are laid above the surface of the deck shall be properly covered up so as not to be an obstruction or impediment to men working on deck.

(d.) The strops of all baskets used in working cargo shall be thoroughly examined at least once a month, and restropped when necessary, and an entry of such examination shall be made in the official log in the case of vessels on which such log is kept.

(e.) All cargo derricks and their gear shall be kept in proper order.

(f.) A supply of pure drinking-water shall be provided and kept in proper receptacles for the use of the men engaged in working cargo.

(g.) No naked light shall be used in the hold of any ship. The term “ship” in this clause includes hulks.

2. All persons having control of hydraulic cranes which are used in working cargo on vessels shall see that the levers have the pins in proper working-order.

3. Every person who commits a breach of any of these regulations is liable to a fine not exceeding £50.
