Certified Marine Chemist (CMC)
There are neither ships too large nor tunnels too small for our Certified Marine Chemists. We climb and crawl to inspect them all:
confined spaces
- pits
- tanks
- vaults
enclosed spaces
- boiler rooms
- engine rooms
- pump rooms
hollow structures
- masts
- rudders
- skegs
- pipelines
Our Marine Chemists are certified by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and are dedicated to providing the highest standards of professional service to the Maritime and Petroleum industries. Part of our function is to inspect and certify areas as Atmosphere Safe for Workers and/or Safe for Hot Work. Without a doubt, we are very concerned about the preservation of life, health and property.
Whether on your vessel or in your construction/repair “yard,” all Marine Chemist inspections are performed in accordance with NFPA 306 and 29 CFR 1915, and official Marine Chemist Certificates are issued upon completion. Similarly, Certificate of Inspections are written for land-based confined spaces (e.g. AST’s, UST’s) at refineries, petroleum terminals and other storage facilities. These inspections are conducted utilizing NFPA 306, 29 CFR 1910.146, and API 2015 requirements and guidelines.
The expertise of our CMC’s extends beyond inspecting and certifying potentially dangerous areas. We are also available for classroom instruction in Shipyard Competent Person and Fire Watch Training, customized written confined space entry programs and annual program reviews, and consultation. We look forward to helping you any way we can with your more challenging safety concerns.
The catalyst for other divisions at Marine Chemist Service, and hence our company name, came from this original department. Since those early years mentioned in our corporate history, our Marine Chemists have traveled as far north as Greenland; east to Bermuda, Crete, Puerto Rico, Spain; south to Diego Garcia; and west to Japan our goal is to remain true to our mission of helping you employees maintain safe work practices anywhere in the world.
