Fishermen need to truly believe that safety can make a difference.  That’s all about the right kind of education

Fish Safe’s Marine Inspection Survey

Attention Fishing Vessel Owners:

The Fish Safe Advisory Committee recently formed an inspections working group in order to deal with concerns raised about the current Transport Canada Marine Inspection Process.  To remove the hearsay issue from this process the working group is requesting that fishermen who have completed or are involved in a TC Marine Inspection complete this survey to formally document their experience with the inspection process.

This constructive feedback on fishing vessel inspections will be the first step in improving the inspection process so it can serve as an effective tool in supporting ownership of safety on fishing vessels.  Your positive experience will validate what is working and negative experiences will provide direction on where work needs to be done.  Please make sure you document both.

All your comments will be collected by Fish Safe and remain anonymous.  A summary of this information will be provided to Transport Canada.  Transport Canada Pacific Region has agreed that this will be helpful information and will review the results.

You can fill this form out directly from the link below and the information will be provided to us immediately.

We would like the forms completed by September 15th.  The first 50 completed forms will be entered to win a draw for a Mustang Auto-inflate PFD!  PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PASS THIS SURVEY ON TO OTHER FISHERMEN.

Please contact Gina Johansen at Fish Safe if you have any questions or comments.
