Best Practices in Crew Health
Chris Adams, LP Director, Steamship Mutual focused on ‘‘Best Practices in Crew Health” at 2015 SAFETY4SEA Athens Forum. He highlighted the persistent cost of P&I crew claims, and examined the causes of these, many of which are regrettably recurrent. In the context of injury, failure to adhere to well established best practice regularly results in death or injury when entering enclosed spaces. In view of this, the current PSC concentrated inspection campaign on this issue is a welcome intervention. He also introduced and explained the objectives of the Club’s latest loss prevention DVD which addresses crew health and fitness and highlights why physical fitness for seagoing employment is vitally important.
