What does company drugs and alcohol policy typically require in relation to height work specifically, beyond the general shipboard policy?

A. Height work is commonly treated as a safety-critical task, meaning any policy breach or impairment concern should result in the individual being stood down from the task, not just a general policy note

B. Drugs and alcohol policy does not apply to deck department, only engine room

C. No additional requirement — the general policy is identical for all tasks

D. The policy only applies during working hours, not before going aloft

A. The deck area should be cleaned and the slope/level checked against the MEWP's rated operating limits before deployment; if outside those limits, a different position or method should be used

B. Proceed and rely on the MEWP's outriggers to compensate for any surface condition

C. Proceed as normal — MEWPs are designed to handle uneven surfaces automatically

D. Proceed but instruct the operator to move slowly

A. No — the worker should receive a specific briefing/familiarisation on the rigid rail system's traveller mechanism, attachment/detachment points, and any system-specific limitations before first use

B. No, but only if the worker has never climbed a mast before at all

C. Yes — all fall protection systems work the same way functionally

D. Yes, provided the harness is the same brand as previously used
