Bosun’s chairs
Bosun’s chairs are one of the fundamental elements of personal protective equipment needed when working at height. The primary purpose of these chairs is to ensure the safety of work performed at height while providing employees with the freedom of movement necessary to conduct activities that require manual precision.
This dual functionality is critical in high-risk environments, as it allows workers to perform tasks efficiently without compromising safety. Therefore, when selecting the right bosun chair for working at height, it is important to consider both safety and comfort aspects.

Safety Considerations When Using a Bosun’s Chair
To maintain a high level of safety when using a bosun’s chair, it is crucial to follow several guidelines. Always wear a properly fitted harness and attach the chair to a secure point on the mast or other structure.
Regular maintenance and inspection of the bosun chair before each use are essential to ensure it is in good working condition. Workers should utilise a tool bag or storage system to keep tools and equipment organised and within reach, minimising the risk of accidents.
Additionally, it is important to avoid using a bosun’s chair near power lines or other hazards and to adhere to proper climbing and descending techniques.
Bosun’s Chair Maintenance and Inspection
Regular inspection of the bosun chair’s harness, straps, and other components is vital for identifying signs of wear or damage. Cleaning and drying the bosun chair after each use will help prevent corrosion and damage, extending the chair’s lifespan.
Proper storage in a dry and secure location when not in use is equally important. It is advisable to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for maintenance and repair, and consider having the bosun’s chair professionally inspected and certified on a regular basis to promote compliance with safety regulations.
