Dredging operations are categorized as high-hazard activities. Strict adherence to safety regulations is mandatory for every crew member on board.
Before starting a shift, a visual inspection of the deck, railings, and winches must be performed, along with testing emergency alarms and emergency stop buttons.
All crew members and visiting specialists are required to wear life jackets and safety helmets. Working without personal protective equipment (PPE) is strictly prohibited.
Special focus is given to the electrical cables (for electric dredgers) and pipeline joints' reliability. Regular safety briefings for staff minimize project risks.
