SAFETY
■ ■ Our efforts to prepare members for Subchapter M
implementation avoided duplication between RCP and
Subchapter M audits, added new TPOs, and fostered critical
dialogue between members and the Coast Guard.
■ ■ Establishment of the Subcommittee on Operational Crew
Fatalities created a permanent entity to continually make
recommendations to prevent fatalities, including from
falls overboard.
■ ■ Development of the Fatigue Risk Management Guide
created a key resource to help members manage fatigue risk,
further improving safety for mariners and the public.
■ ■ Our continued management of the Coast Guard-AWO
Safety Partnership ensured robust Coast Guard-industry
communication to continuously improve safety on the
waterways.
■ ■ Development of Cyber Risk Management Best Practices
helped tugboat, towboat and barge companies stay ahead of
and respond to cyber attacks or accidents.
■ ■ Creation of Safety Leadership 3.0 produced a framework
to lead and support members in continuously improving
safety, security and environmental stewardship.
