# We Deliver Safely - Safety First ## Introduction - "Fostering a Safety Culture Onboard" highlights the importance of safety in maritime operations. - A strong safety culture is more than just compliance, it's a shared commitment among all crew members to prioritize safety in every action. - By promoting awareness, encouraging open communication, and leading by example, we can reduce incidents and create a secure working environment. - This campaign emphasizes the importance of proactive measures, continuous learning, and collective responsibility to ensure everyone onboard goes home safely. - Together, we can build a culture, where safety is the top priority and the foundation of every decision we make at sea. - “Safety is a Choice, Make it Yours.” ## Core Principles ### Leading by Example - Leadership sets the tone for safety culture onboard. - When senior officers and experienced crew members consistently prioritize and demonstrate safe practices, they inspire others to follow suit. - Leading by example means wearing proper PPE, adhering to safety protocols, addressing hazards promptly, and encouraging open communication about risks. ### Action Speaks Louder Than Voice - Your Commitment to safety influences others to make it their priority too. - By embodying safety values, leaders foster trust and accountability, creating an environment where every crew member feels responsible for the collective well-being and is motivated to uphold the highest safety standards. ### Work as One - Teamwork fosters trust, communication, and shared responsibility, ensuring that safety is never the task of one but the mission of all. - Effective teamwork means watching out for one another, reporting hazards promptly, and collaborating during emergencies and drills. ### Continuous Improvement - Continuous improvement involves regularly assessing safety protocols, learning from past incidents, and embracing new technologies and methods. - Encouraging feedback from crew members and promoting open discussions about safety observations, near-misses or hazards that allow for proactive solutions. - Regular training sessions, updated procedures, and periodic safety audits ensure that safety measures remain effective and relevant. - **Be Better Today Than Yesterday** ## Strategies ### Hazard Awareness - Identify potential risks in your work environment proactively. - Conduct regular safety inspections to spot hidden hazards. - Encourage open communication about unsafe conditions. - Use visual aids, such as signs and labels, to highlight risks. - Provide ongoing training on hazard identification and mitigation. - Encourage reporting of near-misses to prevent future incidents. - Improve the procedures for addressing identified hazards. - Utilize technology to monitor and track hazards. - Foster a culture where safety concerns are welcomed and addressed promptly. - Ensure personal accountability for maintaining a safe workspace. ### No Name. No Blame - A “No Name. No Blame” approach is essential for fostering open communication and a strong safety culture onboard. - It removes fear and hesitation, encouraging crew members to report hazards, near-misses, and incidents without concern for personal repercussions. ### Open Communication - Open Communication is the foundation of an effective safety culture. - It ensures that every crew member feels empowered to voice concerns, report hazards, and share ideas without fear of retribution. - **Every Voice Matters** ### Reporting Saves Lives - Timely reporting of hazards, near-misses, and unsafe practices is a cornerstone of a strong safety culture onboard. - By speaking up, crew members help identify risks before they escalate, protect their colleagues, and prevent potential incidents. ### Safety Deserves Recognition - Rewarding safe practices and proactive contributions is a powerful way to reinforce a safety-first mindset onboard. - Recognition motivates crew members, fosters engagement, and encourages continuous commitment to safety. ## Thank You - **SM** Stanford Marine - **AME** Allianz Middle East
