When working in adverse weather conditions according to the Britannia Club (Britannia P&I Club), seafarers should prioritize safety by following strict guidelines, including avoiding unnecessary deck work, wearing appropriate protective gear, adhering to the Master’s instructions, and utilizing the ship’s established “heavy weather” procedures, which typically involve risk assessments, designated work teams, and constant communication with the bridge to manage potential hazards during storms or rough seas.
