While currently as sea my company has issued a bulletin regarding the death of a deck cadet, while the investigation is still undergoing I felt that a post would serve to highlight the need to be aware of your own personal safety.
The incident happened whilst working as part of a team and at an area of the ships side that had no gaurdrails (under the lifeboat). At such times it is customary to think of the friends and families, however it is worth being slightly selfish and using this to make sure everyone else is aware of the risks.
Personally i've experienced conditions that would never be considered aceptable at college and i think that more emphasis should be placed with crew to work safely with cadets, rather than just gettting the job done.
