The number of videos demonstrating poor pilot launch risk management procedures is amazing.
For example;
Pilot not wearing a self inflating (hydrostatic release) life jacket

No pilot tethering system to pilot vessel sail'' track using a harness fitted to the life jacket
No deckhand attendance to the P/V point of transfer
No deckhand testing of security of pilot land before the pilot commences embarkation/disembarkation

The fact that pilot organisations post these videos on your new site appears to indicate they have no awareness of modern WH&S requirements and systems

Article #dangerousladders - Using social media to improve pilot transfer safety.

It remains a sad fact that accidents and near misses continue to occur during pilot transfers with frightening regularity. Most of these fortunately do not result in injury, and a surprisingly high number of them are not even recognised for what they are.

Surveys into pilot ladder safety consistently reveal that unacceptably high numbers of pilot transfer arrangements are not compliant with the regulations.
