In the light of recent
incidents related to heavy weather the associated hazards
were highlighted in the form of a short heavy weather campaign
for one month from 1 Dec 06 to 31 Dec 06.
The priority of safety in decreasing order
is: Human Life, Environment, Property and Process.
While heavy weather can cause incidents
of each of these types, it is PERSONAL SAFETY that is of
paramount importance.
Rough weather, though often very cunning,
has its own telltale signs. The wise mariner always keeps
track of these signs to avoid getting caught on the wrong
foot.
