Controles que hay que revisar, del más eficaz al menos eficaz

1. Avoid working in or over water where the task can be done from dry land or from a stable platform with edge protection.
2. Fence, cover or barricade open water, pools, tanks and drains so people cannot fall in, and keep damaged barriers out of use until repaired.
3. Check water depth, flow, tides, weather and submerged obstacles before work, and do not start or continue if conditions are unsafe.
4. Keep vessels within their load and weather limits, and make sure the skipper holds the required licence and crew are briefed on man overboard and capsize drills.
5. Do not work alone near water, and keep a rescue plan, lifebuoy, throw line and trained rescuers ready before work starts.
6. Wear a lifejacket or personal flotation device suited to the work, and fit lifejackets to everyone on a vessel or working over water.
