HSE Guidelines for all Facility Users

The purpose of the HSE Guidelines is to draw attention to the key areas for consideration when using or working on Port of Cromarty Firth (PoCF) premises and outline the minimum standards expected. Due to the multi-user nature of PoCF premises, the primary objective of these Guidelines is to ensure that undertakings on PoCF premises by any Facility Users are managed, controlled and coordinated in conjunction with other Facility Users.

While on PoCF premises it is necessary that all Facility Users adhere to these Guidelines in addition to complying with all relevant legislative requirements.

Failure to comply may result in a Facility User being asked to stop work and/or leave PoCF premises immediately.

For the purpose of this document, the following areas together are referred to as PoCF Premises:

  • Invergordon Service Base (Including West Harbour)
  • Port Office with adjacent yard
  • Saltburn Pier
