The
Fishing Vessel Safety Folder was developed by Marine Services in
response to concerns within the industry regarding risk assessments.
The object of risk assessment is to consider the risks to health
and safety, and to take measures to prevent or reduce the risk.
Proper completion of a written assessment will show that health
and safety has been considered and that every reasonable effort
has been made to ensure the vessel is safe for those aboard.
The
folder contains example risk assessment forms for various types
of fishing operations, providing useful guidance to help fishermen
perform adequate risk assessments.
Guidance
is also provided within the folder for other safety documents, including
the vessel safety policy, crew list and statement, and safety equipment
checklist.
The
folder is very popular throughout the UK and is available FREE to
fishermen and fishing boat owners (subject to availability). To
obtain a copy, please contact Marine Services via the contact page.
Alternatively, if you have Adobe Reader installed on your PC, you
can view the individual sections of the folder using the links below.
With regard to the actual risk assessment forms, you will need to
use the form for 'All Vessels' as well as the relevant forms relating
to the fishing methods undertaken by the vessel.
