Observation Skills
Maintaining operational safety and sustaining an effective safety culture onboard ship requires good observational skills. The video demonstrates the importance of this, and of always maintaining good situational awareness.
Entry to Enclosed Spaces
It is sometimes necessary to enter an enclosed space. To avoid the dangers they present, it is imperative to follow enclosed space entry procedures. This programme outlines these procedures and highlights the importance of regular drills. Speed of response is vital in any emergency situation involving an enclosed space.
Permit to Work
Many tasks undertaken at sea involve risk. For such work to be undertaken safely, those risks need to be assessed and controlled. This programme examines how a permit to work system operates to achieve that. It highlights some of the tasks for which a permit to work would normally be required to ensure that these can be completed in safety.
Management Onboard Series
This series addresses the shipboard response to crisis management. Whilst it features a Covid outbreak as the crisis to be addressed by the vessel, the general principles of crisis management upon which the series is built have wider relevance and can be applied equally to other situations.
Part 1 – Crisis
This programme examines the theoretical principles of sound crisis management. It provides guidance on the social and mental effects of the crisis, the role of sound leadership, and how to manage one’s own expectations, and those of others during the crisis.
Part 2 – Covid
The second programme examines the practical application of crisis management principles to a specific event. It introduces the concept of different leadership styles and examines their effectiveness.
Part 3 – Commerce
The series concludes with a review of the commercial implications that can arise from the situation of crisis.
