<p>Vi har i detta arbete valt att titta närmare på problemet med att vissa bulklaster, exempelvis träpellets och flis, kan orsaka en skadlig atmosfär i lastrummen samt i kringliggande utrymmen. Vårt syfte var att finna lösningar på problemet med att människor råkat illa ut i olyckor involverande nämnda laster samt att bygga upp en erfarenhetsbank som folk i branschen kan ta del av och även dra lärdomar utifrån. Efter att ha läst in oss på ämnet via bl.a. tidningsurklipp, började undersökningen med att vi studerade olycks- samt forskningsrapporter. Vidare valdes deltagarna ut från ett flertal sjöfartsorienterade företag och organisationer. Dessa kontaktades samt intervjuades. Undersökningen visade att det tycks finnas ett flertal orsaker till att olyckor med dessa laster sker. Bl.a. nämndes okunskap och bristande rutiner. Några förslag på lösningar som gavs var att alltid hålla farliga utrymmen låsta samt att aldrig någonsin nöja sig med att mäta syrehalten. Koloxiden är minst lika farlig.</p> / <p>In this work we have chosen to investigate the problem with some solid bulk cargoes, for example woodchips and pellets, generating a dangerous atmosphere in cargo holds and surrounding areas. Our purpose was to find solutions to the problem with people suffering in accidents concerning the already mentioned cargoes and to create a document containing experiences from the people in the business. Later on, others would have an opportunity to learn from these experiences. To start with, we read articles about this problem and soon thereafter begun the investigation. Reports from accidents and scientistic work were read and later on we contacted our participants and proceeded with the interviews. These participants were chosen from several different companies in the shipping cluster. Our work shoved us several different reasons why the accidents occur. Lack of experience and bad routines were mentioned. The suggested actions to be taken were among other things, to lock the doors and not forget to measure the carbon monoxide levels.</p>
