Protect and Prevent: Why Proper Safety Equipment is a Must at Sea

Maritime safety depends on proper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), training, and adherence to regulations like SOLAS and the ISM Code. High-quality PPE, including hearing, eye, respiratory, and fall protection, reduces risks, but its effectiveness relies on proper training. Beyond compliance, fostering a strong safety culture ensures that every crew member actively contributes to risk prevention. Prioritizing safety protects maritime workers and strengthens industry standards.
