TORM Safety Training goes to maritime academies

Posted: May 2009

Three maritime academies in the Philippines and India will be among the recipients of a Safety Training concept that is currently being developed by Green-Jakobsen for the shipping company TORM A/S.

The main purpose of the training concept is to upgrade the Safety Management training among seafarer cadets in the maritime schools.  The project includes the preparation of an e-learning Safety Management simulation tool, as well as Train-the Trainer courses including the production of learning materials.

The concept is divided into a Basic and Advanced section. The Basic section covers basic Health and Safety principles whereas the Advanced section focuses on Safety Behaviour. The first Train the Trainer course is set to take place in May of 2009.
