of management control. The video sets out the cost parameters relating to choosing
and maintaining the paint systems applied to various parts of the ship. It is designed
to assist with the right choice of paint system for each application and describes the
disadvantages and advantages of various paint types for each job. Using the wrong

This video explains how to plan a job, collect all the right preparation tools, set up
safety platforms, check all personal protective equipment, choose the right
application tools and carry out the various tasks correctly and safely.
A typical schedule of work is shown, from checking the stores for available material,
inspecting the existing paintwork, carrying out the preparation work, cleaning,
preparing the surfaces with hand tools, with pneumatic tools and other instruments.
Then the moisture content of the air is checked and the air and steel temperatures
taken. The painting commences and we see the coats being applied in the correct
order. The video illustrates on-board processes but reference is made to some dry
dock processes such as large scale grit blasting. Finally, advice is given on health
and safety regarding the handling and storing of paint.
