International Safety Management Code

International Safety Management Code (ISM Code) is like a playground safety code for the big ships and boats that travel on the ocean. It is like a big set of rules that everyone who works on the ship has to follow to keep everyone safe!

The ISM Code makes sure that all the people who work on the big ships know what to do in an emergency, how to keep the ship working well, and how to make sure the environment is not harmed by the ship's operations.

Just like you have rules to follow when you play on a playground or in a game, the ISM Code is a set of rules for the people who work on the ship to always be safe and prevent accidents from happening. This helps the ship to run smoothly and ensures that everyone can stay safe while they are doing their jobs.
