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.

Being able to respectfully, sincerely and constructively express your thoughts, desires and concerns in the face of a potential conflict or stressful situation is being assertive.

This incident is based on the experiences of the UK P&I Club. Accidents like the one in this course can and do happen. As you go through this course, ask yourself, "Could this happen on my ship?"

Ships are inherently dangerous workspaces, made doubly so by the fact that they move and rock while underway. During any operation, it is imperative that those involved are adequately protected from injury by use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) so that they are less likely to become injured.

Almost all seafarers have been subjected to hard weather, and they are well aware of the impact and forces that can occur at sea. When the ship starts to pitch and roll in heavy seas, it is obvious that the consequences of such can be severe if the cargo is not correctly stowed and secured.

This course, with relevant checklists and work instructions, applies to Tankers carrying MARPOL Annex I cargo and Combination Carriers when carrying oil.

This course introduces the legislation and methods of Passage Planning. You will learn how to use an ECDIS effectively to plan voyages on digital systems.

Mental Health is a huge part of all of our lives. Mental ill health can affect us all at any stage of our lives and has a massive impact on work, social, and family life. Therefore, it is vital that we can recognise signs of mental ill health in ourselves and others.

In this course, we delve into mental health and why it is so important. We look at things that can alter our mental health, common signs of mental illness and how to help those who may be going through a mental health crisis, including people who could be self-harming or suicidal. This course is important for all workers.
