STOPPED UNSAFE TRANSFER OF PERSONNEL
THE INCIDENT – It was a contract with many different units involved. Crew came from different
areas in the world with different background. It was a different working environment. During this
operation our crew discovered a working practice in the area that was far from accepted in our
normal
area
of
operation.

roller.
Client’s representative was contacted and an extra ordinary HSEQ meeting was held onboard.
This activity was stopped immediately. Safe transfer of personnel between barges and vessels was
highlighted by client. And, Captain and crew got credit from client’s representative for their “Stop
the Job” policy and prompt action.
LESSON LEARNT - Safe access / egress must always be provided to a work place at all times.
MESSAGE TO INDUSTRY - We should all bear in mind to praise and encourage people that dare
to intervene and “stop the job”.
