Unattended machinery spaces — alarms, rounds, and being on call

AUS-EWK-M2 · The Engine Room Watch · AUS-EWK-M2-A Keeping a watch below

It is an engine room whose supervision has been moved: from a pair of eyes at the console to a monitoring system, an alarm extension and a duty engineer who is responsible whether he is in the workshop, in the mess or asleep in his bunk.
