Work Over the Side Safety

Awareness training for offshore, drilling rig, vessel, jetty and marine construction crews who plan or do overside work: any work outside the perimeter handrails or over open water. It covers why a fall and the water together make this work high risk, what cold water does to a person, planning and the permit to work, fall protection and lifejackets, the standby person and rescue cover, and the response to a man overboard. It is not sea survival or offshore emergency training and awards no such certificate; the limits for weather, sea state and rescue cover are always those of your own installation.
