BEING AWARE AT SEA
Watch practical instructions, learn from real situations, and discover tips for working more safely. The videos are perfect for use during toolbox meetings to start the conversation about safety.
Working at sea brings challenges, from unpredictable weather conditions to the safe handling of liquefied gases. The risks can come from anywhere, but the greatest danger often lies in routine. A motivated team stays sharp, discusses risks and makes well-considered decisions together. ‘Motivation is the key to safety. If you are motivated, you are alert, and if you are alert, you see the risks before they become a danger. Ultimately, we are all working towards the same goal: working safely together and returning home safely together.’
On board a ship, mealtime is more than just eating; it is a time for gathering, relaxation and energy. Ship's cook Menno knows better than anyone how important this is. With passion and creativity, he provides the crew with a meal they look forward to every day. "I try to create something a little out of the ordinary every day. As a cook, you are quite important at the table. And I get excited when the guys leave the table happy." Cooking is more than a profession; it is about connection, teamwork and caring for each other. Because at sea, you are one team.
The fishing industry is dynamic and runs 24/7, but safety remains a top priority. Leen Kuit, working as a Mate on the Scheveningen 2, has seen improvements over the years, but remains alert to potential accidents. For instance, he remembers how his colleague became trapped between a winch several years ago. "An accident can happen at the most unexpected moments, even when everything seems to be going smoothly. Fortunately, my colleague turned out well. It is important to be aware of the dangers at sea and always use your common sense."
Join Work Safely at Sea and help us spread the important message of safety further. We are looking for companies, ships, and workers to share their experiences.
