Regulation 12 Access to and from bulwarks

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

Where there is a gangway leading on to a bulwark of a vessel, there shall be provided—

(a)

wherever practicable, a platform at the inboard end of the gangway with safe means of access therefrom to the deck; or

(b)

where such a platform is not practicable, a second gangway or stairway leading from the bulwark on to the deck which shall either be attached to the end of the first-mentioned gangway or be placed contiguous to it, in which case means of access, securely protected by fencing, shall be provided from the one to the other.
