PERSONAL SAFETY IN THE ACCOMMODATION

The present video is a part of the Personal Safety On Board Ships series consisting of the training booklet dealing with the personal safety on board ships in general and several interesting and informative video films addressing the personal safety on tankers, chemical tankers, general cargo ships, container vessels, bulk carriers, and in the various areas of the vessel such as the galley and the engine room, as well as on deck.

The authors of this particular training video tried to underline that it is very important to think about the safety not only when working but also when having rest or sleep before and after working hours on board. The accident can easily happen outside your working hours and do not necessarily occur when you are working. In the accommodation there are specific risks, such as the fires from smoking, slippery surfaces and many other potential hazards.

Have a look and take the advices provided by the instructors, we are quite sure this will lead to the increase of your safety awareness.
