Essentials of Integrated Management Systems
Bulletin Articles
Safety culture and the human element
The shipping industry is run by and for people. Human behaviour needs to be managed at all levels, ranging from ordinary seafarers to regulators developing national and international regulations. It is vital for a safe and viable shipping business to effectively manage the human element.
ResourceThe hallmarks of a good HSEQ manager
