While cleaning the vessel's cargo holds, a seafarer fell from a 6-meter-high portable staging after disconnecting his safety harness. The vessel, which was underway in calm seas, had to deviate for a helicopter evacuation. The incident highlights the need for strict safety measures, including keeping safety harnesses attached, thorough risk assessments, and prioritising crew safety over operational demands. Proper supervision and adherence to safety protocols are crucial to prevent such accidents.
