WHEN YOU JOIN YOUR SHIP — SAFETY FAMILIARIZATION

It sounds quite reasonable that being thoroughly familiar with the surroundings in a vital part of providing the workplace safety. Throughout their marine careers, people may have to go onboard a wide variety of different vessels. That is the reason why it is critically important that they are fully aware of the correct actions to be undertaken in case of an emergency before assuming a shipboard duty.

This is now a mandatory requirement applicable regardless whether you are crew member or not, i.e. you must know your ship and be duly familiar with shipboard safety, emergency and safety routes and important signs and symbols. The present video training video film forms one of the parts of the official Videotel course covering all important aspects of the shipboard work and operating of the vessel, with the particular attention being paid to the safety of the people working at sea.

We do recommend every crew member of every seagoing vessel as well as any other person somehow involved in the shipping industry and related industries to have a close look not only into this film but also to the other videos since they their contents are equally important when we talk about the human safety.
