Accident of engine rating was working alone in the engine room on the single ladder.

Slips and falls are one of the most common accidents that occur on ship’s. Slips can easily take place at any moment and likely during an activity. Falls are most common while working on heights such as ladders.

They can be best avoided by cleaning up after work and maintaining the environment free from oil and other slippery substances
