MOL holds safety courses
Major Japanese shipping group Mitsui OSK Lines, which has experienced a number of serious casualties over the past year, has been holding in-house safety workshops entitled “Safe Ship Operation: Learning from Incidents.”
The company says: “This is part of a company-wide effort to reinforce safe operation management systems, aimed at preventing the reoccurrence of serious incidents last year.”
In six sessions the company is focusing on safety lessons learnt from those incidents. The goal is to cultivate an environment that encourages a coordinated approach to improving safety.
A captain and chief engineer with extensive marine experience present the workshops, which mainly target shore-based young employees involved in ship operation. The lecturers explain the background and causes of various incidents and near-miss cases, and help employees in charge of practical operations recognize risks and decide what to do, and what not to do.
