Hi,

I have been notified that two team’s within our company will be attending an away day sailing. One team will be using a chartered vessel, the other a team member's private vessel.

I am reviewing this from an insurance perspective and I am going to facilitate a risk assessment with the organiser. To that end does anyone have any experience of:

• Health and safety guidance for sailing trips (Industry competence standards, maintenance schedules, communications requirements etc…).

• Notwithstanding the above any specific liability issues or experience of using an employee’s private vessel (or similar) for work/fun activities.

Thanks

Dave
