Welcome to the Safety Folder Site

Under the Merchant Shipping and Fishing Vessels Health and Safety at Work act, employers are required to provide a safe place of work for the crew aboard their vessel or their business on a vessel. Part of the requirements are for a risk assessment to be completed.

Keeping a Vessel safe is more than Risk Assessment though, and this website is to help you build a safety management folder which will reduce the complexity of the task so that all vessels can benefit from a safer environment. Safety management is not just a folder or a checklist it is the actions you do to keep a vessel and it's crew safe.

Example

So that you can see what a completed folder looks like we have available demonstration of what can be achieved in as little as 30 minutes, it really is that easy.

Monthly Reminder

Each month you will recieve an email to remind you of the routine tasks wich need to be completed onboard. This is especially usefull for the smaller vessels where you may have your folder ashore. Simply complete the form at sea and then place into the folder once it is done.
