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
