In a documented gangway rigging fatality, what procedural gap was identified regarding how the rigging task was normally carried out by the crew?

A. The task always involved three crew members and a formal supervisor

B. The task had never been performed by this crew before

C. The rigging of the handrail was understood by the crew to be a two-person evolution, but on the day the bosun proceeded with the task essentially alone after sending the deckhand away for life vests

D. There was a fully documented, mandatory procedure that was followed correctly throughout

A. A safety feature deliberately designed to distribute load evenly across all steps

B. A modern upgrade that improves on traditional pilot ladder rigging

C. A type of shackle used only for lifeboat falls, unrelated to pilot ladders

D. A shackle secured over the ladder's side ropes rather than properly through the designed attachment point, which brings the entire weight of the ladder onto a single step that is not designed to bear that load

A. Ladders being painted the wrong colour

B. Only deficiencies in the length of the ladder, with no other issues found

C. No other deficiencies have been identified in any reporting period

D. The ladder being in poor condition (e.g. cracking, warping, flaking paint hiding underlying defects) or having missing/incorrect stanchions
