Shock Mitigation Objectives

• Reduce Operator Injury
  Having used RIBs for over 20 years we come from the practical side of fast craft training. From our own experiences we have specialist knowledge of injury prevention and recovery.

• Improve Operational Efficiency
  Professional RIB operators can be on the water for extended periods and in extreme conditions. A high incidence of injuries to fast craft helms & crews affects individual & organisational performance.

• Increase Awareness Of Shock & Vibration At Sea
  Causes of 'shock' are random 'hits' of up to 15G from head sea impacts or overtaking following seas. Causes of 'vibration' are continuous 'hammering' such as short steep seas or wind against tide conditions

There is no 'one off solution' due to the evolving situations created by faster boats and greater human expectations. Changing operational requirements such as higher fuel costs can lead to smaller boats operating for longer periods.

We believe that RIBs and fast craft can be made safer by improvements to workstation design and specialist training.
