Notice board
What the business is telling its staff this month.
Cut-resistant gloves are mandatory on the fillet line
A process worker needed stitches this week after filleting without the cut-resistant glove. From today supervisors will check gloves at line start and any worker found filleting without one will be stood down from the line for the shift. Gloves are at the entry station in every size. Report every cut on the Incident and Hazard Report Form.

Sea Wren stays alongside until the winch is fixed
Sea Wren's winch brake slipped on the last haul of trip 144. The vessel will not sail until the brake is repaired and signed off by the Fleet Master. Tuesday's trip is postponed. Crew are reassigned to gear maintenance and the pot store. This is exactly why the pre-departure checklist and defect reporting matter.
