1. Introduction.
With ever increasing awareness of the need to prevent accidents, the potential for action
against Clubs or club members and the increasing interest being taken by the relevant
authorities in the prevention of accidents, it is incumbent on sailing clubs and their members
to examine their working practices and so far as is practicable minimise or eliminate
potential hazards.
Members, in any event, would wish to maintain high safety standards within Marconi Sailing
Club and it is for this reason the following guidance notes are issued. They should not be
considered to be all embracing, but rather to form the basis for good practice. It is up to
each member to ensure that the operations in which they are engaged are safely carried
out.
These instructions do not apply to or consider the ‘ At Work Situation’ where any individual
is carrying out the activity for hire or reward.
The instructions address two principal areas:
1. The use of safe working practices in order to ensure the safety of persons in the
immediate area of activity including where appropriate the adjacent waters.
2. The correct use of equipment to ensure it remains in good working order and which may
directly or indirectly contribute towards safety.
The Sanderson Teleporter and its attachments may only be driven by those
specifically trained.
2. Safety.
In all operations involving the use of the Teleporter the following will apply:
a) The Teleporter must be suitable for the intended task.
b) The Teleporter driver must assess the intended task and has the right to refuse to
use it where the safety of doing so is in doubt.
