Description

The main role of a Safety Officer is to act as a focal point for all occupational health and safety matters arising onboard ship. It should be noted that the role, while important, is advisory and does not actually carry the company’s responsibility for health and safety.

This book provides a clear and ‘no-nonsense’ guide to the responsibilities and will focus on what you need to know to perform this position in a professional manner. It discusses how to approach the tasks that you will be presented with, what they might mean and some of the implications or actions that may result from them.
