This post has now been marked as 'sensitive', which I think is correct. It is not pleasant to witness people being seriously injured. However, I feel very strongly that one of the major problems with our attitude to risk assessment is that our RAMS can be fatally dependent on the (lack of) imagination of the person drafting the risk assessment. Traditionally industry relied upon slow promotion, decades of experience, and crew bar gossip which imparted wisdom hard-won by others. Such traditional solutions seem to be of waning importance, and in reduced supply. And with decreased literacy among digitally-native young people now entering the workforce, real life incident footage may offer a powerful solution that builds empathy and imagination. Therefore, I think we should look at the unpleasant things that happen in our industry with open eyes. Watching videos tricks our brain into thinking we are really there. Admittedly this is something that can be problematic with action movies and voyeuristic entertainment. But when it comes to safety education, I think videos like this are gold. If victims of serious marine casualties are to be seriously honoured, then let their misfortunes be used to prevent unnecessary risk taking.

Understanding waterway rules is crucial for every boater’s safety. Whether you’re a maritime pro or a weekend enthusiast, each mariner should familiarize themselves with their local and state regulations, standard buoys, and safety precautions before heading out onto the water. Our Know Your Buoy White Paper reviews the U.S. Coast Guard standards, decodes the buoy symbols found in U.S. waterways, and highlights the importance of boater safety. Your safety is our priority at Sealite. Stay informed, stay safe!  https://bit.ly/3vgQX5Z #sealiteusa #knowyourbuoy #buoys #marinesafety #inlandwaterway #safeboating #spx

Windsor Port Authority is the Canada-USA border! Our Accipiter Radar system with Axis cameras provide 24/7/365 all weather, real-time tacking, to identify suspicious vessels and objects on the river that help us to protect and secure our port, and the Canada-USA border. We believe this system should be of interest to area law enforcement and border protection agencies on the Detroit River corridor. This system is already in place and can be quickly expanded to provide full river and shoreline coverage. Using smart technology is cost effective and limits the demand for scarce human resources, equipment, and time. We could expand border monitoring to 24/7 from a single room with a single operator.

Ship Cats 🐈⚓️ Ship cats were valued members of the crew in the mid-20th century. They were skilled rodent catchers, and their presence helped control the population of rats and mice on ships. These pests were notorious for damaging supplies and spreading diseases, so having cats aboard was essential to the safety of the crew. To acknowledge the cats' contribution and ensure their safety during international travels, they were given passports. These passports were not legally recognised, but they were a unique and lighthearted tradition. They typically consisted of a small booklet with pages that included the cat's name, description and an area for their paw print (their very own "paws-sport!")🐾 When a ship cat passport was presented to the authorities at a foreign port, it was a fun way to document the feline's presence onboard. The cat's paw print, obtained using ink or paint, was added to the designated page, providing a personalised and whimsical touch to the document. This practice not only amused the sailors but also showcased the camaraderie they shared with their feline companions. 💕 (Source: hempwell.com) #arkangelvet #drpatrick #peteuthanasia #athomeeuthanasia #peteuthanasiaperth #peacefulpassing #petloss #griefsupport #petsofperth #cats #shipcats #catpassports #cathistory #historicalcats
