Introduction to Elements of Shipboard Safety for Seafarers
Purpose
Investigations reveal that common contributing factors are hazardous conditions, errors in judgement, unsafe work practices, and a failure to wear a personal flotation device (PFD) in circumstances where it would have saved life. This course is therefore aimed at any seafarer engaged in any capacity onboard a vessel at sea, or in port.
