Safety At Sea

Safety At Sea

Put safety first! We must have the right understanding of safety at sea, so we can save ourselves & survive! We must understand that an emergency at sea can threaten our lives!

Before traveling to or by sea, we must save our lives by gaining knowledge about emergencies at sea & having the ability to save ourselves!

Some strategies for handling emergencies & surviving at sea:
- Use PPE approved by international standards
- Stay calm & don't panic: Panic leads to poor decision-making
- Use emergency signaling devices, radios, flares & mirrors to call for help from aircraft & ships
- Use a Life Raft that can carry victims, drinking water, food, a First Aid kit, and others
- Limit physical activity to conserve energy & avoid dehydration
- Find & store food & drinking water to extend survival time
- Protect the body from sunlight, wind & rain
- Keep the body dry to prevent hypothermia
- Direct the ship to an island or a beach
- Provide first aid if needed
- Heal the wounds to prevent infection & attacks from marine animals

Take the right training that will provide knowledge on the most appropriate way to save ourselves & survive at sea!

Accident Investigation

Safety: Accident Investigation

Regulations around the world require that all workplace incidents must be investigated to ensure compliance with safety standards & improve workplace safety. Accident investigations can influence policy, industry standards & public perception of safety.

Accident investigation is an important process that aims to:
- Understand why an incident occurred: The root cause of the accident (human error, equipment failure, environmental factors, negligence)
- Develop & implement appropriate corrective actions, processes & procedures to prevent recurrence

Steps in accident investigation:
- Immediate response: Ensure safety at the scene, provide medical attention if necessary & secure the area to preserve evidence
- Data collection: Collect all relevant information, physical evidence, witness statements, photographs & any available data
- Process for analysis: Reconstruct the sequence of events, analyze root causes & formulate conclusions about why the incident occurred
- Recommendations: Suggest changes & improvements to safety systems, procedures, equipment & protocols to reduce future risks

As an accident can occur at any time, create a safe & productive work environment & improve organizational processes. At the end, proper investigations can be carried out appropriately!
