website<\/a>. <\/p>\n\u201cFollowing a review of crew claims in the fishing sector, we identified a number of common issues that have caused, or contributed to, incidents and injuries,\u201d said Mr Forster. \u201cHeavy seas, a fast-paced working environment and compact working areas can present various hazards when working on or below deck on fishing vessels. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe key message of the posters is safe working in a safe working environment, with particular focus on the importance of keeping the vessel tidy, keeping working areas and walkways clear and always being prepared for heavy weather. We advise crew members to \u2018keep one hand for yourself and one for the boat\u2019 as well as to wear the correct personal protective equipment for the job and conditions.\u201d <\/p>\n
The first three posters in the series are entitled, Safety\u2026All at Sea?<\/i>, which reviews the general hazards of working on deck; No Messin\u2019 When Processin\u2019<\/i>, which covers the specific hazards encountered below deck in processing areas; and Keep Trawlin\u2019 \u2013 Not Fallin\u2019<\/i>, which looks at typical slip, trip and fall hazards on a fishing vessel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
