MODULE 1: SAFETY & SECURITY AWARENESS
Awareness is the first step towards safety at sea, not just for you but for all those on board the vessel, for the vessel itself, and the environment. Knowledge of your role onboard, not just in an emergency, is essential to developing and maintaining a good safety culture. Preparation for the correct response to an emergency situation cannot start soon enough… so let’s get you started.

MODULE 3: FIREFIGHTING EQUIPMENT (FFE)
One of the primary causes of accidents at sea is fire. FFE refers to all equipment on board a vessel that protects human life at sea from fire. Prevention is always best, so in this awareness course, you will learn and understand the basics of fire, including its common causes onboard vessels. However, in the event of a fire, it is essential that you are aware of the detection systems and the FFE available onboard your vessel to ensure a quick and appropriate response.

MODULE 5: SAFETY MANAGEMENT
Ultimate personal safety is achieved when safe working habits become an integral part of your reflexes rather than self-initiated actions. Knowledge of the vessel, your workspace, and your surroundings creates the necessary awareness of any risks and hazards present.
The safety of life at sea is ensured by implementing various safe practices onboard vessels through a Safety Management System. This module introduces you to vessel safety management and the basic components of the systems.
