Make maritime safety your business

In Australia, vessel owners and operators have a legal obligation not only to maintain a seaworthy vessel, but to document procedures that keep all crew, visitors and passengers safe.

AMSA is making this easier to achieve with our series of free safety management system (SMS) workshops being held nationally.

Aimed at owners and operators of domestic commercial vessels who have an existing SMS in place, it’s an opportunity to learn how to continually improve on your system.

While most successful operators integrate their SMS into daily operations, it’s vital to vessel and crew safety to regularly evaluate the risks associated with on-board hazards.

Our three-hour workshops will focus on applying a practical and practiced SMS so you continue to keep your vessel, crew and the environment safe.

Workshop participants will learn the simple principles for an effective SMS, safety requirements under the national law, and tips on how to review, revise and continue to improve a SMS.

You will also have an opportunity to discuss and ask questions about your SMS with an AMSA representative.
