The work order
Movie Hazard Analysis #25 treats the escape from the capsized liner in The Poseidon Adventure (1972) as a real work order.
What moved the risk
One climber at a time, three points of contact, no unsupported pulling, structural supports instead of loose debris, and a lead who counts all nine drop every step one band. No step gets below HIGH. No harness, helmet or anchorage is confirmed.
The transfer to real work. Any emergency climb, whether a ladder, a ship's hatch or a scaffold egress: one person on it at a time, three points of contact, and help from a stable position or not at all.
Every hazard, control and risk number shown comes from the JHA itself; nothing is invented or rounded for effect. Inspired by The Poseidon Adventure (1972): commentary and hazard analysis of a fictional scene as depicted, with no affiliation with the film or its rights holders. The underlying JHA was generated with JHA Rapid, is AI-assisted, and must be reviewed by a qualified safety professional before use. Not a compliance document.
