Why Do I Need Safety Training?

In line with regulations, crew members aboard commercial vessels must receive training to ensure that employees know what to do in the event of an emergency involving a fire on board.

When it comes to refresher training, the standards in some instances are very specific: employees must be re-evaluated every three years to see if they still understand and can adhere to the standards and proper safety. Best practices say to apply this same rule to all types of training. A so-called “free-pass” cannot be awarded based on experience, age, or time on the job. The extent of the evaluation is to be determined by the employer but should include a written and practical examination that prove continued competency.

Stay Informed On All Things

Did You Know?

Only 15% of fires in the workplace are caused by failed equipment, which means that 85% are caused by employees.

Of all the fires that occur in the workplace, over 25% of them are linked to electrical malfunctions.

Flames are not the only danger in a fire. Fire can take all the oxygen out of a room and replace it with poisonous gas. Someone could suffocate before the flames ever reach them.
