Planning
Explosives
Explosives will not be carried on board R/V BARNES. Chemicals for scientific purposes may be carried on board in small quantities and adequately stored under the Cruise Leader's supervision and with the approval of the Master. Compressed gases (non-toxic, non-flammable) may be carried under the Cruise Leader's supervision and with the approval of the Master to the extent that suitable exterior storage is available. Compressed gas cylinders will be secured under supervision of the Master. Cylinder protective caps will be in place at all times that the cylinder is not in use.
Hazardous Materials
There is no suitable storage on board for radioactive materials. Anyone who must use radioactive materials on board R/V BARNES must consult the Manager of Marine Operations well in advance of the cruise to ensure that the material will be handled in accordance with University regulations governing its use.
