Safety Culture on ships: It is all about the trade-offs

23

safety-culture-on-ships

A few years back, I did extensive research on “safety culture in shipping” as part of my project for higher studies.

I was so fascinated with this subject that I continued reading about and exploring it.

And while I was doing all that, I found that in the present form no sane seafarer or shore representative would show any interest in the concept called safety culture.

They can fake it though.

Few who would show the interest will surely see their interest die down very soon.

The only community to have their interest in this subject for a long time is the “management students” and ‘people at a higher level of organization hierarchy”.

Why?
