Emergency Response - The Vital First Minutes

Training categories: Drills & Emergency Response

What is the Captain's responsibility in an emergency? How can his officers and crew help him?

 

Emergency Response is a fast-moving and engrossing short safety documentary, essential viewing for everyone on board ship.

We all know that the world of ships and all those who sail on them has changed. There are new rules, and many countries and organisations demand new levels of excellence from seafarers. This is especially true in a Maritime Emergency. What happens in those vital first few minutes can turn a problem into a disaster unless there is an emergency response plan. Everyone on board should be involved in one way or another.

This programme shows and encourages any ship's crew how to get involved in a thought-through emergency response plan - before the emergency happens.

In any emergency, wherever it takes place, there are three "demons" that always appear - FEAR, PANIC and CONFUSION. How do you cope with them? They will always be there. Planning, drills and training are the only way.

This program gives all of the facts in a dramatic and memorable way. It cuts through all the garbled words, and gives precise ideas and recommendations.
