Bulk carrier Poavosa Brave, Serious injury, Off Tauranga, 23 June 2023Report published Oct 3, 2024
TAIC final report. Crew member seriously injured because workmates didn't know what each other was doing. Accidents happen when people don't communicate. Safety-critical worker did unauthorised work, didn't tell responsible officers, negating the abilities and authorities of those in command to keep people safe. Communicate the plan, double-check plan is still the plan, and speak up if danger loom
