This course is in compliance with the ‘Order on occupational health training for members of the safety group in merchant ships’ issued by the Danish Maritime Authority.

In this short course, we will watch a video of an incident and then analyse it to see what went wrong and what could have been done to prevent this incident.

Partners in Safety has three themes (Leadership, Learning and Care for People). All three are underpinned by Human Performance to drive us towards our vision of a ‘Zero Incident Industry’. Human Performance includes the 5 Principles, Learner Mindset and Causal Reasoning.

The marine industry takes safety very seriously, however, in spite of our best efforts incidents do unfortunately still occur, particularly during mooring. A marine insurance industry report shows that mooring incidents are one of the most frequent personal injury causes.

Hours of Rest have long been one of the most contentious topics among seafarers across all sectors of the maritime industry. Given that many at sea face fatigue from extended periods of work as well as sporadic and often broken sleep, it’s not surprising that they take a keen interest in the regulations governing their hours of work and rest.

We all find ourselves doing things in a specific way without knowing why just because we have always done it that way or that is what everybody else does or that is the way it is done locally. Over time, in doing this, we just stop seeing the risks and therefore do not challenge our actions. This is called collective normalisation because we all do it and it becomes common practice.

In this course, we will learn the importance of keeping our barriers strong and understanding when some of these barriers may be weakening. We will watch a video that will go through two very different scenarios with very similar outcomes and then analyse this video to see what could have been done better.
