Creating a safe work environment should be a top priority for all organizations. For this reason, every company must actively adopt and promote a strong culture of safety, so that safety becomes a part of the enterprise’s DNA. Following, we present five ways to promote a strong safety culture.
1. Make the work place hazard free
The workplace should be kept free from physical and chemical hazards, while seafarers should report potential problems.
2. Training is crucial
The organization must provide all crew with safety training using an understandable language.
3. Ensure availability of proper equipment
All crew should have and use safe tools and equipment and properly maintain this equipment.
4. Use visual safety aids
Color codes, posters, labels and signs can help warn employees of potential hazards. These aids should be located in all work and recreational areas.
5. Safety is fun
While safety is no game, safety-themed trivia, quizzes, and videos will keep the crew more engaged.
