Before your feet leave the deck........CLIP ON
You must be clipped on at ALL TIMES when you are off the deck
(there are a very few exceptions such as working on the awnings when ship is alongside)
It’s easier to climb if you keep your tummy off the shrouds.
Stand up straight & keep your weight over your feet
Keep a foot on either side of a shroud.
It feels more stable and is more secure.
