3 - SAFETY DEVICES AND EQUIPMENT 34
CAUTION
All the areas where there is polished breglass are no-step areas.
DANGER
On board the yacht, some areas are “dangerous“, and need plenty of
care, and possibly require wearing protective equipment, in order to safe-
guard the integrity of people on board.
During navigation, the risks relating to any hazardous area increase sig-
nicantly; we recommend, therefore, scrupulously observing the safety
rules indicated in this manual.
DANGER
Unidentied external areas of the yacht: access to these areas is FOR-
BIDDEN. Only professional personnel, under their own responsibility, can
gain access to them when the yacht is moored in a safe harbour or in
a lay-up shipyard if they are wearing shoes with non-slip sole and belt/
safety equipment tied to a safe point of the yacht to prevent falling.
The areas are following:
• Engine room: area with a high level of noise, presence of moving com-
ponents, burns hazard, tripping and falling hazard. The access to the
engine room is exclusively allowed to trained and expert crew, prepared
for the risks and equipped with proper safety devices.
• Flying bridge: outer area with protections against falls with reduced
height and extension. Therefore be extremely careful when leaning out
during the manoeuvres of the yacht and during navigation, especially
with rough sea.
• Stern platform: outer area not protected by rails against the fall at sea.
During navigation access to this area is forbidden. Accessing and stay-
ing in this area is allowed only when the yacht is idle and with the en-
gines shut off.
In case of a fall overboard, the following rescue devices can be used:
• Life buoy;
• Individual life jackets.
• Re-boarding ladder.
The easiest way to get on board is from the stern platform by means of the
re-boarding ladder, which is stowed inside the technical room - system room
when not in use.
CAUTION
The pilot is responsible for ensuring boarding with the re-boarding lad-
der extracted every time the yacht is NOT IN OPERATION (meaning not
navigating) ALTHOUGH ATTENDED.
CAUTION
The pilot is responsible for ensuring boarding with the pilot’s ladder pro-
vided and properly set up every time the yacht is NOT IN OPERATION
(meaning not navigating) ALTHOUGH ATTENDED.
