safe waters.
4. Taking into account any nearby navigation
hazards as well as the prevailing weather / sea

Final Asesssment : Provided no deviations from the recommended control measures, the residual risk assessed is As Low As Resonably Practicable (ALARP).
Supplementary measures include correct use of PPE & Tool Box talks that ensure all workers are fully aware of the control measures.

Residual risk - HIGH : If RR is "High" category, written instructions for conducting the job and approval shall be obtained from the shore office to commence the operation.
Residual risk - MEDIUM: If RR is "Medium" , a constant monitoring of events shall be maintained and ensure all identified preventative and mitigating measures are always in place.
