Building a Culture of Safety: Training and Procedures for On-Board Repairs

Repair work in confined spaces or high steel structures is inherently risky. A true safety culture goes beyond issuing PPE—it embeds training, procedures and leadership commitment at every step. Ship’s Solutions treats safety as an operational pillar, not an afterthought.

Before boarding, engineers complete Job Safety Analyses detailing hazards, controls and rescue plans. Toolbox Talks align crew and riding squads each morning. Training totals 120 hours per technician, including VR-based simulations that increase knowledge retention 30 %.

ISO-45001 systems govern permit-to-work, gas testing and scaffold inspections via intrinsically safe tablets that create auditable records. A no-blame near-miss app captures incidents anonymously; analytics reveal patterns—like loose hand tools at height—and trigger preventive measures.

Monthly safety stand-downs review KPIs: TRIR, lost-time injuries and closure timelines. In 2024, Ship’s Solutions cut TRIR to 0.49—half the industry average—while completing 38 000 repair man-hours.

A living safety culture protects people and projects; it also safeguards budgets and reputations. With Ship’s Solutions, every weld, splice and test happens under a rigorously managed safety umbrella.
