least 2 1/2 inches thick and shall be properly laid and caulked.
(3) The surface of metal decks which form the floors of the crew
accommodation, not being floors in sanitary accommodation, galleys, store
rooms or laundries, shall be covered with linoleum or wooden planking, or with
a material which complies with the requirements specified in Appendix 1 to
this Schedule. The joinings of such material with the side walls shall be

8. Lighting
(1) In every ship to which this Schedule applies every part of the crew
accommodation, other than pantries, laundries, drying rooms, lockers and store
rooms, shall be properly lighted by natural light. Provided that if in any
space in a passenger ship or in a ship engaged in the whaling industry it is
impracticable to provide proper natural lighting, such lighting shall not be
required if adequate electric lighting is always available in that space.
(2) The natural lighting of a sleeping room, mess room, recreation room or
hospital ward shall be deemed to be proper for the purpose of this section if
it is sufficient to enable an ordinary newspaper to be read by a seafarer of
normal vision at any point in the room, being a point available for free
movement, during day time and in clear weather.
(3) Every sidescuttle in a sleeping room, mess room, smoking room or
recreation room in the crew accommodation of a ship to which this Schedule

in the manner prescribed in paragraph (c) is steady and subject to a
tolerance of 10% is maintained at a value not less than that
prescribed for every such space.
(c) The points at which illumination shall be measured shall be as
follows-
(i) where general measurement points are prescribed for the
illumination of a space, then measurements shall be taken at
every point midway between every 2 adjacent lamps and at every

boundary of the space: Provided always that where within any
space a part of that space (being a part of that space
available for free movement) is shaded from the direct rays of
a lamp by a re-entrant angle formed in the boundary of the
space, then the central point of the part of the space so
shaded shall also be a general measurement point; and
(ii) where particular measurement points are also prescribed for a
space, then measurements shall in addition be taken at every
such point. In all cases measurements shall be taken at a

case of passageways, companionways, and covered recreation deck
spaces, measurements may be taken either at a height of 2 feet
9 inches above the floor or at floor level, provided that in
the case of measurements taken at floor level the reflection
factor of the floor surface shall not be less than 40%.

appropriated solely to that machinery. The store room or other space in which
the machinery is situated shall be so constructed as to be gastight where it
abuts upon other parts of the crew accommodation and shall be adequately
ventilated by at least 2 ventilators to the open air, one of which shall be
fitted with an exhaust fan and shall have its inlet near the bottom of the
room or space. The motor of the fan and the electrical connections thereto
shall be enclosed in a spark-proof case. Access to such store room or space
shall, wherever practicable, be by means of a hinged door from an open deck.
If the door cannot be arranged otherwise than to open on to a passageway or
other space frequented by members of the crew, the door shall be
spring-loaded, jointed and gastight.

for the crew. The space so appropriated shall not at any time be used for any
purpose other than for the treatment of sick seafarers.
(2) In every other ship to which this Schedule applies a room shall be
appropriated for use, when necessary, as a temporary hospital. When such room
is in use as a hospital it shall not be used for any purpose other than the
treatment of sick seafarers.
(3) Every hospital, whether permanent or temporary, shall be situated in a
position which will ensure the greatest possible quiet and comfort for the
patients. The hospital shall be readily accessible, and, in the case of a ship
not carrying a duly qualified medical practitioner or duly qualified nurse
exclusively so employed as a member of the crew, shall be so situated as to be
easily accessible from the sleeping accommodation of the Master of the ship or
of a seafarer appointed by the Master to take charge of the patients. The
hospital shall be so situated as to facilitate the proper treatment of
patients in all weathers.
(4) The minimum width of the entrance to every permanent hospital shall be 30
inches or as near thereto as is practicable in the circumstances. The hospital

open deck shall be provided with protection against the admission of
mosquitoes. Such protection shall be provided by means of screens of
rust-proof wire or other suitable material which shall be fitted to all
sidescuttles, natural ventilators, skylights and doors leading to the open
deck.

the material will not exceed 7% of its dry weight.
(e) Adhesion. The material shall be so laid as to adhere closely under all
conditions of service to the surface on which it is laid.
(f) Non-corrosion. The material shall not contain any substance which may
cause corrosion of the deck on which it is laid, unless the deck is
effectively protected from corrosion by a coating applied for that
purpose.
(g) Danger to persons. The material shall be such as will not produce any
injurious effect upon persons who may come in contact with it.
(h) Resistance to wear and weather. The material shall be sufficiently
hard and strong to withstand all conditions of service and shall be
sufficiently flexible to prevent cracking under those conditions. 2.
If the material is laid in a permanent hospital, it shall be material
not likely to be damaged by surgical spirit or other liquids which may
be used in the hospital. 3. If the material is laid on the crown of an
oil fuel tank, the material shall be such that if it is immersed in

in column 2 of Table II annexed hereto. 2. The system shall, in relation to
the spaces specified in column 2 of Table II, be capable of the respective
standards of performance specified in columns 3 and 4 of that Table. 3. If any
store room is served by a fan which provides warmed air for any other space,
the store room shall be provided with ventilation trunking separate from that
serving such other space. 4. The clear area of the exhaust openings provided
in conjunction with the system shall be sufficient to ensure that the velocity
of air at each exhaust opening does not exceed 1000 feet per minute when the
system is in operation. 5. The speed of every supply fan forming part of the
system shall be capable of being varied where direct current motors are used.
6. The system shall be quiet in operation. 7. All trunking forming part of the
system shall be provided with non-return flaps where such flaps are necessary
for the exclusion of effluvia and the preservation of the health of the crew.
8. If the system is designed to circulate heated air as the sole means of
heating the crew accommodation, the system shall be subdivided into sections
