To assist Members and crew with preventing such incidents from occurring. the resources listed below have been produced and shared by the Club.

The following documents have been produced by the International Group of P&I Clubs.

Further guidance points include:

  • Time pressure: Do not rush safety related tasks, rush a safety-critical job or miss safety critical steps due to time pressure.
  • Procedures, practices and equipment: Best practice and safety equipment are provided to keep you safe on board; don’t take your safety for granted no matter how experienced you are. Always comply with the correct safety protocols.
  • Unsafe situations: Everyone is responsible for safety; it’s essential you speak up and stop the job if you think something is unsafe.
  • Emergency drills: Nobody knows how they will respond to an emergency. It’s vital to rely on the training you have received; don’t die by neglecting your own safety.
  • Preparation and communication: Everyone involved needs to be confident of what is happening, that they are experienced enough to do the job and what the emergency responses are; don’t presume every task will go without incident.
