https://lnkd.in/eBb4PkRD ARGYLL AND BUTE COUNCIL job . Vacancy for a Fleet Compliance officer . Probably a great job for someone , in a great part of the UK to live , but question must be asked WHY THE NEED ? Is it due to their failings REPORTABLE HSE INCIDENTS / ACCIDENTS / HSE FAILINGS ? I asked at the last ARGYLL AND BUTE COUNCIL MAKI PUBLIC QUESTIONS for the last 3 years of REPORTABLE ACCIDENTS, as usual, silence / NOTHING. OR a FALL GUY to take the heat off COUNCIL EXECUTIVES for their current failings .

Here is a career opportunity in the risk management arena.

Florida is addressing one of the most pernicious issues in Emergency Management. Maybe it's a good idea to properly staff your state for emergency response. I realize the real benefit in emergency management is in preparation and mitigation, but eventually the big one hits and you HAVE to respond. Maybe don't create understaffed response systems where you desperately need outside help at exorbitant rates. (And I'm speaking as one of those exorbitant rate contractors!) Maybe states should try to be self-sufficient in disasters, rather than hoping that they can find enough damages to get the federal taxpayers to pay for everything. Is this system going to solve all their problems? Of course not, but Florida will now HAVE a system, which they can tweak to greater efficiency.

Recently I have attended interview with a leading Indian airline and I had a disagreement or argument with the interviewer regarding the Safety Manager role in an organization in aviation industry. The interviewer tried to put up the point that Safety Manager is a delegated managerial role and just a coordinator in implementing the SMS within the organization. Also, Safety Manager doesn't have any involvement in the decisions taken by the departments w.r.t safety management and respective departmental HOD's are final decision makers. My point was that though Safety Manager is just coordinator for implementing SMS but the decisions taken by the departments SAG's or HOD's w.r.t safety shall be acceptable to the Safety Manager. Safety Manager is indeed responsible for more than just coordination and play a crucial role in decision-making regarding safety policies and procedures. While he/she may facilitate the implementation of SMS, their input is essential for ensuring that safety standards are met and maintained. Also if we leave the decision making with HOD's without the acceptance of Safety Manager then there would be no point in having an SMS which focuses on structured approach. Safety Manager is key member to take strategic safety decisions, rather than merely serving as a facilitator. This is particularly important in an industry where safety is paramount, and having someone who can influence departmental decisions can lead to a stronger safety culture. I ended the discussion saying that Safety Manager is not the one who just coordinates the implementation of SMS but the one who is decision maker w.r.t to Safety. #aviationsafety #airlines #safety #aviation #SMS #safetymanagementsystems #safety #aviationindustry #interviews #safetymanager #safetymanagement #airports #aircrafts #icao #iata #aci

𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗩 𝗟𝗼𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝘂𝘃𝗮𝗴𝗲, 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝘆 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗳 (𝟭𝟮 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟬𝟰) Since 2004, the Office of Transport Safety Investigations (OTSI) has spotlighted opportunities for improvement in NSW's public transport. In the last 20 years, our investigations have uncovered insights into ferry, bus and rail incidents and offered lessons to all parties in the passenger transport industry. These lessons remain relevant today and are vital for helping to put in place measures that prevent future incidents. They cover area such as ensuring safe systems of work and the competency of staff. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱 On 12 May 2004, the vessel MV Louise Sauvage collided with the wharf at Rose Bay in Sydney Harbour. The crew reported a steering system failure at a critical stage of the approach to berth. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗢𝗧𝗦𝗜 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 Our investigation found that the vessel's steering failed earlier that day. During shipyard testing, this defect was not confirmed, so the vessel was cleared for service. The investigation concluded that the steering failure led to the collision but could not establish a cause for the steering failure. Steering system failure is a recurring theme in ferry incidents. A systemic investigation into critical steering control failures in the Emerald Class Generation II Fleet is currently underway – https://lnkd.in/dYGsyYZj. Another similar incident is that of Pemulwuy ferry's loss of steering control in Sydney Harbour on July 2 and November 23, 2020. 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘙𝘪𝘴𝘬 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 – At the incident, the operator lacked a formal risk management system. Now, marine safety has improved. All vessels must create a risk management system to identify and control safety hazards in design, operations, and the environment. 𝘋𝘢𝘵𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 - The lack of reliable data on vessel parameters meant that the cause of the collision could not be determined. The report stressed the need to add data recording tools to all public passenger vessels. 𝘈𝘤𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘢𝘭 - The Vessel's operating manual had errors in its training and procedures and took away from the ability of the crew to implement appropriate corrective action to avoid the collision. 𝘐𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 - This incident showed the need for organized training and skill programs. It also emphasized on the concept of Crew Resource Management in emergencies, which helps the crew enhance communication, teamwork, and responses, ensuring safety.

REFLECTION ON MARITIME SAFETY: Teamwork and Prevention Aboard Ships Safety aboard cruise ships is a shared responsibility, but it’s teamwork that truly makes the difference. Every officer, every crew member, and even the passengers contribute to creating a safe and protected environment. Our ability to work together, with coordination and determination, is what allows us to prevent risky situations and handle any emergency with professionalism. -Here are some key points to strengthen safety through teamwork and prevention: Continuous Training and Communication: Prevention starts with ongoing, shared training. It’s essential that everyone, from officers to other crew members, is aligned on safety protocols. Regular emergency drills not only test technical preparedness but also the ability to act in sync. Effective and timely communication during each exercise is crucial for a quick, coordinated response in risky situations. Anticipate Dangers Before They Become Critical: Teamwork isn’t just about responding to incidents, but about preventing them from happening. Monitoring weather conditions, maritime traffic, and real-time safety parameters are all activities that, when carried out with attention and in a collaborative way, allow us to anticipate potential problems. Every officer and crew member must be ready to spot and report situations that could evolve into dangers. Proactive Risk Management: Safety management on board cannot be reactive—it must be proactive. Every crew member must be able to identify potential risks, from equipment that might not be in perfect condition to risky behaviors by passengers. Only by working as a team, with everyone taking responsibility for spotting and solving problems before they become urgent, can we ensure the safety of everyone on board. Coordination in Emergency Situations: When an emergency occurs, coordination between officers, crew, and passengers is essential. Clarity in communication, calmness in handling the situation, and mutual trust among the crew can make the difference between effective management and chaos. Leadership must guide, but every crew member should feel part of a cohesive team focused on one common goal: safety. Safety Culture as a Core Value: Safety isn’t just a set of rules to follow—it’s a true culture. Creating an environment where every crew member feels responsible not only for their own safety but also for the safety of others is key. This requires trust, respect, and a constant commitment to working together to prevent, rather than simply react. In conclusion, prevention is our best tool for avoiding accidents and ensuring safe navigation. Only by working as a united team, each with their role and responsibility, can we ensure that every voyage aboard a cruise ship is not only enjoyable but also safe for all. #MaritimeSafety #Teamwork #SafetyAtSea #Prevention #ResponsibleNavigation #SafeCruise

One is the loneliest number… Well, one of me, two roles, and a crew of about 40! As we continue working through the loadout schedule here in Birmingham, I find myself donning two caps as the sole event management representative remaining on site. Balancing site management and safety is a fine line that must be precisely maintained to 1) keep everyone safe, and 2) maintain (and excel) in our schedule. Our supplier teams are working incredibly hard, making significant headway on structures and seating. The sunny weather earlier in the week definitely aided their efforts, and their progress has been impressive. Their dedication to these physically demanding tasks—heavy lifting, constant movement, and continuous forklift and telehandler operations—is truly commendable. The heat of the last few days has dissipated, and today’s overcast sky is making for a much cooler day. However, this change in weather hasn't slowed them down in the slightest. It's clear that every crew member is committed to getting the job done efficiently and safely. Early in my career, I spent time building seating and structures. This hands-on experience allows me to understand the tasks that are being completed. I know the correct and safest ways to achieve their goals, and this shared background enables me to provide the proper support and guidance. This understanding helps me see things from the crew's perspective, appreciating their work's physical and mental demands. It also means I can anticipate potential issues before they arise and implement preventive measures to maintain safety and productivity. There’s a unique challenge when juggling the roles of Site Manager and Safety Advisor. My dual responsibilities mean I must constantly switch between overseeing the logistical aspects of the site and ensuring that all safety protocols are strictly followed. My primary goal is to keep everyone on-site safe. This involves regular safety briefings, monitoring adherence to safety protocols, and being vigilant about potential hazards. I ensure everyone understands the importance of safety and how to achieve it through proper practices. While safety is paramount, we also have a tight schedule to keep. Efficiently managing the workflow and ensuring that tasks are completed on time requires constant coordination and clear communication with the team. These dual roles complement each other perfectly. Both require a deep understanding of risk management, safety, and effective communication. The hands-on experience I gain from managing site operations feeds directly into my strategic knowledge, making me better equipped to handle the challenges that come my way.   To my safety colleagues: what roles did you work in on event sites before becoming a safety advisor? How have those experiences helped you when working with crews performing the tasks you used to do?   #SiteManager #SafetyAdvisor #Loadout #Teamwork #EventManagment *Not all of the crew on-site are in the photo..

Navigating Lithium Battery Safety Onboard: Why SOP Compliance Matters. Last week, during an insightful conversation with a highly respected captain, a critical challenge came to light: the difficulty of adhering to Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's) for lithium battery safety onboard. The captain highlighted how failing to meet these procedures could escalate risks in emergency scenarios, potentially leading to catastrophic outcomes. This discussion resonated deeply, emphasizing the urgency of having practical and reliable solutions for lithium battery storage and charging on superyachts. SOP's are at the heart of every onboard Safety Management System (SMS), and without the right products, tools or infrastructure, even the most skilled crew can face insurmountable obstacles when things go wrong. With this in mind, we embarked on further research to address this pressing issue. The result is this article, where we aim to shed light on the importance of SOP compliance and offer actionable pathways to enhance safety onboard through advanced lithium storage solutions. Join us as we explore how aligning Liiontek's technology with safety standards can safeguard lives and assets in a rapidly electrifying maritime environment. https://lnkd.in/e2rGNyUd
