Year: 2008 Language: English Author: Videotel Genre: Course Safety training Publisher: Videotel Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 86 Description: Any accident resulting in a personal injury causes pain to the victim and disruption to the team while the crew member is recovering. In purely economic terms, the shipowner or operator may also have to bear significant indirect costs. Operations may be delayed, future trading plans disrupted and, of course, the vessel's earnings may be lost and jobs put at risk. Delays are likely to have an immediate impact on commercial relationships with business partners such as charterers, and a poor safety record will worsen this problem through damage to the company’s reputation. WHY DO ACCIDENTS HAPPEN? Most accidents and incidents at sea are caused, either directly or indirectly, by human error. They might be a result of an unsafe act by an individual, unsafe working conditions (also ultimately attributable to human error) or a combination of the two. It is estimated that for every SERIOUS ACCIDENT there will be 30 MINOR ACCIDENTS, 300 NEAR MISSES OR HAZARDOUS OCCURRENCES and 3000 UNSAFE ACTS AND WORKING CONDITIONS. The only reason the unsafe acts and working conditions do not end up in more accidents and near misses is sheer luck.
