– training that is vital to ensure the well-being of seafarers during routine tasks
Personal Safety & Health
– training that involves fire prevention, firefighting techniques, handling firefighting equipment, and conducting fire drills
– training that is crucial to respond effectively to fire emergencies and prevent their occurrence
Fire Safety & Prevention
– involves instruction on how to use life-saving appliances, such as life jackets, lifeboats, and life rafts
– covers launching procedures, survival at sea, basic navigation, and search and rescue protocols
Survival Techniques & Personal Survival Craft
essential for maritime workers to handle medical emergencies and provide immediate assistance to injured or ill crew members until professional medical help can be obtained
First Aid & Medical Training
comprehensive training in navigation, understanding nautical charts, radar operation, use of electronic navigation systems, and collision avoidance to ensure safe and efficient passage through waterways
Navigation & Collision Avoidance
training that measures ensures compliance with environmental regulations and includes instruction on waste management, oil spill response, ballast water management, and minimizing the environmental impact of maritime operations
Pollution Prevention & Environmental Protection
– focuses on preparing crew members to handle various emergencies, including man-overboard situations, grounding, piracy threats, severe weather, and other critical incidents
– involves developing contingency plans, conducting emergency drills, and effective
communication during crises
Crisis Management & Emergency Response
specialized training that is provided to raise awareness among seafarers regarding security protocols, piracy prevention measures, and the use of security equipment given the risks posed by piracy and maritime security threats in certain regions
Security Awareness & Anti-Piracy Training
training in the operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of sophisticated machinery, propulsion systems, and automation onboard modern vessels
Machinery and Equipment Operation
– training on international maritime regulations, including those set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO)
– crucial to ensure compliance with safety standards, rules, and protocols applicable to maritime operations
Regulatory Compliance & International Standards

lower insurance costs
enhanced reputation
Moreover, it fosters a ________, promoting _________, which in turn leads to a safer working environment
culture of safety consciousness among seafarers
proactive risk assessment and mitigation
The importance of safety training extends ______ personnel who play a crucial role in supporting maritime operations
not only to the crew on board but also to shoreside
– outlines the objectives, activities, timelines, and resources required to achieve specific learning goals within a training program
– serves as a roadmap for organizing and implementing training initiatives, ensuring alignment with organizational objectives and participant needs
Training Plan
– something you plan to achieve
– the point of something
Objectives
something that is contained
Contents
the act or manner of delivering something
Delivery
– a process that critically examines a program
– involves collecting and analyzing information about a program’s activities, characteristics, and outcomes
– its purpose is to make judgments about a program, to improve its effectiveness, and/or to inform programming decisions
Evaluation
Objectives of Training Plan
● To gain new knowledge or information that helps employees to do a job well
● To learn physical skills, like using physical machinery quickly and efficiently
● To influence employee attitudes and perceptions toward learning or organizational change
Contents of Training Plan
● the objective of the course, an overview of the participants
● a list of prerequisites, objectives, course topics, and content descriptions
● a course outline
● instructional methods, instructional media
● descriptions of instructional activities
● a description of evaluation methods
refers to the method and process of imparting knowledge and skills to a targeted audience
Delivery of Training Plan
Evaluation of the Training Plan Purpose
to identify strengths and weaknesses of the training program and make improvements to future training programs
Onboard Familiarization main aim
to make the new crew aware of important safety procedures that are to be carried out on ships while working or during an emergency situations
Familiarization must be completed within how many hrs?
72 hrs after joining the vessel
– a supplied air or oxygen device
– a self-contained compressed air apparatus for escape from a contaminated environment
– consists of a compressed air cylinder with air capacity of 600 liters (15 minutes duration)
– used to escape from a compartment that has a hazardous atmosphere, like a toxic or oxygen-deficit environment
Emergency Escape Breathing Device (EEBD)
means any atmosphere that is immediately dangerous to life or health
Hazardous Atmosphere
EEBD Requirements as per Solas for Cargo Ships
● Must carry at least 2 EEBDs within accommodation spaces
● Additional spare devices are required based on the number of onboard personnel
EEBD Requirements as per Solas for Passenger Ships
● 2 EEBDs per main vertical zone are mandatory for ships carrying up to 36 passengers
● 4 EEBDs per main vertical zone are required for ships exceeding 36 passengers
● Spare devices are mandatory based on the number of passengers and crew
EEBD Requirements as per Solas for Machinery Spaces
● The number of EEBDs required in machinery spaces depends on the layout and personnel present
● Consultation with classification societies is recommended for proper assessment
Adhering to EEBD requirements as per Solas offers numerous benefits:
● Enhanced Crew Safety
● Compliance with Regulations
● Peace of Mind and Reduced Risk
● Increased Insurance Coverage
Providing crew members with EEBDs increases their chances of escape and survival in emergency situations, ultimately safeguarding their well-being
Enhanced Crew Safety
Following EEBD requirements as per Solas avoids potential legal repercussions and
ensures your vessel maintains its operational license
Compliance with Regulations
Equipping your vessel with these lifesaving tools grants invaluable peace of mind, knowing you’ve taken every possible measure to mitigate risk and prepare for the unexpected
Peace of Mind and Reduced Risk
Some insurance companies offer reduced premiums for vessels that comply with EEBD requirements as per Solas
Increased Insurance Coverage
How to Use EEBD
- Locate your assigned EEBD and check the pressure gauge to confirm functionality
- Position the neck collar around your neck and secure the closure
- Place the hood over your head, ensuring a snug fit around your face and neck
- Tighten the drawstring around the hood opening for a complete seal
