Basic training passenger shipping safety expert
Safety experts must skillfully manage emergency situations to prevent injuries, environmental damage or loss of the ship. To do this, they must possess extensive knowledge of the safety equipment on board and support their manager in ensuring that these tools are maintained in good working condition.
We can give basic passenger shipping safety expert training to crew members and other on-board personnel appointed by the captain to perform safety tasks as specified in the Shipping Personnel Regulations (RSP) and the European Standard for Qualifications (ES-QIN) competence requirements.
2 days (4 half-days) including the completion of an e-learning module prior to on board training
The basic passenger shipping safety expert training is intended for those crew members entrusted with supervisory tasks related to safety.
Specifically, these crew members perform managerial tasks on board.
Theory is put into practice through presentations, assignments, exercises, and instructional sessions in which the required competencies are tested. We have all the proprietary training materials necessary.
The passenger shipping safety expert training contains both a theoretical part and a practical part in which the required competencies are tested under the applicable regulations.
Topics covered during the training sessions include:
- Laws and regulations
- Ship stability basics
- Explanation of the mandatory safety equipment on board
- Explanation of the maintenance and testing of the safety equipment on board
- Safe handling of firefighting and rescue equipment
- Giving instructions to the relevant responsible parties
- Communication in emergency situations
- Preventing and reducing panic
Successfully completing this training entitles the trainee to a passenger shipping safety expert certificate valid for 5 years.
As prescribed by the RSP, these certificates are issued in the safety book distributed by Op Koers! Maritiem.
Refresher passenger shipping safety expert training
Safety experts must take a refresher training course before their basic passenger shipping safety expert training certificate expires.
During this refresher passenger shipping safety expert training, we focus on on refreshing the participant’s previously acquired knowledge by re-teaching both the necessary theoretical knowledge and practical actions through a scenario-based training program.
After the student successfully conpletes the refresher course, the previously earned safety expert certificate is renewed for the legally established period.
