Hazard awareness drive


The International Chamber of Shipping and The Standard Club have announced the conclusion of their “Spot the Hazard” competition for seafarers – part of a joint initiative to promote hazard awareness. Seafarers were invited to identify 10 hazards within five typical scenes – bridge, deck, engine room, galley and port terminal. More than 1,300 entries were submitted by seafarers from 78 shipping companies. Winners were those who identified the most hazards and whose safety ideas were the most original and potentially effective. Each winner received US$2,000.
