We want everyone to stay safe at work. Most days as we go about our routine everyday duties it is all plain sailing, as we try and do the right thing. However, there is always a risk that things can go wrong and in the blink of an eye, life can change. We all try to do everything we can to stay safe, and we all try to take care of our equipment ensuring that it is well-maintained and operating safely. Yet, despite this, we still experience failure of equipment which causes incidents often with severe consequences.

The aim of this course is not to just watch a video, it is to think about and discuss the incident shown. We want the learner to reflect on the causes of the incidents involved in this video. We want them to relate to what has happened (or could happen) in similar situations on board their ship and what they could do differently in the future. The learner has an opportunity to understand how to prevent a similar incident from happening on their ship in the future.
