Circular

  1 The Maritime Safety Committee, at its eighty-sixth session (27 May to 5 June 2009), approved the Guidelines for the fitting and use of fall preventer devices (FPDs), set out in the annex, following the recommendations made by the Sub-Committee on Ship Design and Equipment, at its fifty-second session.

  2 The use of FPDs should be considered as an interim risk mitigation measure, only to be used in connection with existing on-load release hooks, at the discretion of the master, pending the wide implementation of improved hook designs with enhanced safety features.

  3 Member Governments are invited to use the annexed Guidelines when approving the use of fall preventer devices (FPDs), and to bring them to the attention of all parties concerned.
