Steps To Survive At Sea

Some of the right steps to survive when an accident at sea occurs:

- Stay Calm: Panic will reduce your ability to think clearly & will not solve the problem. Take a deep breath & try to manage stress, stay calm & focus on saving yourself. Maintaining a positive mindset can also help to stay focused on keeping yourself & surviving. You can focus your mind on taking the right steps to safety.

- Stay Afloat: Use available PPE to keep yourself above water: life jackets, life rafts & others. Also, look for all floating objects that can increase your chances of floating.

- Signal For Help: Use flares, whistles, mirrors & any shiny objects to ask for help from other aircraft & ships. Make yourself visible to rescuers.

- Find Shelter: Exposure to weather can be deadly. Therefore, stay in the Lifeboat to protect yourself from the weather & heat from the sun.

- Save Energy: Conserve energy in the body & reduce fatigue by minimizing movement. If you need to move, move at night so that the heat of the sun can be avoided & energy can be saved. Be aware of the surroundings & currents.

- Stay Hydrated: Avoid drinking seawater as it can cause dehydration. Drink fresh water by collecting rainwater.

- Find Food: Look for available food sources: fish, birds & seaweed. Make sure that the food is safe.

Hopefully, the steps above can help you to have a good adventure at sea :-)

Commitment To A Safe And Healthy Workplace

In all industries, there are some important steps to take to ensure safety:

- Provide First Aid: The top priority is employee safety. If someone is injured, start by providing first aid. Ensure that necessary medical attention is given immediately.

- Secure the Scene: Next, secure the accident scene to prevent further harm & damage. Address hazardous materials, electrical issues & other risks immediately. Mark off the area to prevent others from entering.

- Collect Evidence: Collect physical evidence that can help uncover the cause of the accident. Take photos & videos of the scene & examine the conditions & surroundings.

- Conduct Interviews: Talk to Witnesses. Their testimony can be valuable information. This is about fact-finding, not fault-finding, so open communication without blame is important.

- Identify Root Cause: Ask questions about what Safety Procedures were not followed, why the accident occurred & more

- Prepare Investigation Report: Make sure to document your findings. Create a report outlining what happened, contributing factors & root causes

- Recommend Corrective & Preventive Actions: Based on the results of the investigation, propose actions to prevent similar accidents in the future

- Follow-up: Ensure recommended actions are implemented & monitor progress

Conclusion: Incident investigation is an effort to prevent the recurrence of workplace accidents. By doing so, you demonstrate your commitment to a safe & healthy workplace.
