Description

When accidents and injuries happen, there were often good procedures in place, but personal choices can make a big difference.

In this course we review many of the initiatives and procedures that are in place to increase the safety of seafarers, but emphasise that it is what we ourselves choose to do that will keep us and everyone else safe.
