Stay focussed, stay safe – distraction at sea

Working at sea can be isolating. However, technology allows us to communicate more effectively and efficiently.

While many consider improved shipboard internet as a positive step in maintaining seafarer wellbeing, it brings an added risk of distraction at work.

High-profile maritime incidents show the potential consequences of the associated risks. The meeting will present insights into new industry guidance on this issue.

Speaker: Master Mariner Ashok Srinivasan, BIMCO Regional Manager and Technical Advisor, Vice Chair of the IACS AVC and leading voice on the “human element” in the maritime industry.

Following Ashok’s presentation there will be an opportunity for a live Q&A.

This event is open to IOSH members and non-members.
