reduces injuries, many of which are small in nature but can result
in expensive medical treatment, legal and other associated
costs.
It looks closely at ways of safeguarding and improving the personal
safety of everyone on board ship. Its overall objective is to
reduce the number of personal injuries that occur on board. Some of
the videos are devoted to certain areas of the ship the others to
specific types of ship.
The series has 13 modules:-

officers on board and for them to use in training junior officers.
The rest of the videos in the series are suitable for training all
sea staff.
