The most important tool on board your vessel is your knowledge of how to work safely
Over the years, Fish Safe has collaborated closely with industry in the development of practical tools that give commercial fishermen the safety knowledge they require. From handy, fishery specific Best Practices checklists to resources like the Safest Catch Wheelhouse Log Book, BC commercial fishermen have a wealth of safety resources at their disposal.
Best Practices
Fishermen recognize there is the potential for stability incidents in the prawn fishery if best practices are not followed. This best practices document is a collaborative effort by prawn fishermen with the goal of "Everyone Coming Home Safely"
This ‘Best Practices’ document is a collaborative effort by fishermen and members of the Herring Industry Advisory Board in an effort to assist fishermen in reducing or removing threats to stability, improve safety procedures and provide a quality product.
