The Lessons<br />
1. The risk assessment process can often<br />
cause skippers and crews of fishing vessels<br />
to go blank and be unable to think of and<br />
write down the hazards they encounter<br />

on board. However, one way of ensuring a<br />
safe environment on board is to consider<br />
accidents that have happened to others<br />
and ask yourself – could that happen to me<br />
or one of the crew?<br />
2. Have a good look at this skipper’s injuries<br />
and then look around your decks and<br />
winches. Is there anything you can do to<br />
prevent a similar accident on board your<br />
vessel?<br />
