Working Safely Near Water
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
This is a knowledge course. It is not ISPS Code training and is not recognised by any port or maritime authority.
It is 2 a.m. on Berth 4. The quay is wet. A guard walks along the edge to save time. A ship is being tied up. A crane is lifting containers behind him. He looks at his phone. Three different things could now kill him.
Focus: stay back from the edge, stay out of the way of ropes and machines, and never jump into the water after a person. Raise the alarm, throw a lifebuoy, and keep the person in sight.
Learning objectives
- Name the main dangers to a guard on a quay or jetty.
- Wear a lifejacket when your site asks for one, and say why.
- Stay well away from mooring lines, lifted loads and moving machines.
- Say why a guard never enters a ship's hold, a tank or another closed space.
- List the safe steps when a person falls into the water.
