Maritime Safety & Risk Management provides learners with a comprehensive foundation in the principles used to prevent accidents, protect life, safeguard ships and cargo, reduce environmental harm, and maintain safe maritime operations.
Safety at sea is not achieved simply by following individual rules. It depends on the interaction of people, procedures, equipment, management systems, communication, training, environmental conditions, and operational decisions. The International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) International Safety Management (ISM) Code establishes an international standard for the safe management and operation of ships and for pollution prevention, while SOLAS establishes a broad framework for safety of life at sea.
This course introduces learners to the practical concepts behind hazard identification, risk assessment, safety management systems, permit-to-work controls, emergency preparedness, human factors, safety culture, incident reporting, and continuous improvement.
The course is suitable for maritime students, cadets, junior deck and engine officers, shore-based maritime personnel, and anyone seeking a structured understanding of marine safety and risk management.
