Safety professionals know that no safety policy or risk mitigation tool will prevent an injury without buy-in from our mariners on the deck.

It is our responsibility to supply them with the resources they need to work safely, from training and drills to PPE and guard rails, and it is their responsibility to use those resources to work safely.
