Accidents
at Sea
Accidents
at are all too common, not long ago the statistics was that
96% of all accidents at sea was caused by HUMAN ERROR.
The
M.C.A. has upped the standard and regulations of safety and
that that figure is gradually falling, it need not be like
this.
Man
overboard, collision, grounding, fire, falling between the
pier and the vessel, machinery can all account for the fatalities
and accidents that happen on vessels
Care
and caution is all that's required, ask yourself these questions;
(1)
How much danger is there for me doing this job?
(2)
If I'm skipper, would I do the job that I wanted the crew
to do?
(3)
Is there safety areas for me to go to if I need it?
(4)
Is the weather too poor to work in?
if
your answer to any of the above is "YES" then stop
what your doing, it's your life and money cannot replace it,
if your dead, no-one can bring you back to life.
"If
your worried about doing it, DON'T DO IT"
