Supervising Safety 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 02:40 on a wet night. Your waterside guard, Joseph, is alone on the berth 5 walkway. His check call was due at 02:30. The control room has heard nothing.
Perhaps his radio battery is empty. Perhaps he is in the water. You must act as if the second is true.
Focus: you cannot stand beside every guard. You keep them safe near water with three tools: checked kit, check calls and clear rules for night, weather and machines. Rescue belongs to the port's trained people.
Learning objectives
