An adequate number of safety nets of a suitable size and strength area
shall
be carried on the ship or
otherwise be readily available. The aim of safety nets is to minimise the risk of falling between the ship and
quay or falling onto the quay or deck and as far as reasonably practicable the whole length of the means of
access
shall
be covered. Special attention
shall
be given to the keyside end of the gangway. Safety nets
shall
be securely rigged, with use being made of attachment points on the quayside where appropriate.
