Concentrating primarily but not exclusively on the Hydraulic Hose and its fittings, and talking of the risks of fluid injection injuries, the presentation will demonstrate what to look for and some very simple procedures designed to keep operators safe.

RYA Training, where does it fit in the industry and what does it cost? Henry Hillier, Marine Matters RYA Training is the envy of the world for it’s professional training, rigorous exam process, and MCA recognised requirements. However, there are those in the commercial world that think the RYA is all about yellow wellies, yacht clubs and Olympic sailors. While the RYA is justly proud of these achievements, they also presided over the lesser known Advanced Powerboat, Yachtmaster Offshore and Ocean (power) certificates of competence. These MCA recognised certificates qualify holders to operate power driven vessels up to 24m or 200gt from between 20nm from a safe haven to unlimited restrictions, dependent on the certificate held. RYA training offers companies a cost effective route to qualifying skippers and crews to operate offshore to the satisfaction of insurers, the MCA, and industry bodies. Come along and find out what RYA training centres can really do for you, all within a competitive budget. |

Importance of Safe Manning in Smaller Vessels Forkanul Quader - Seafarer Training and Certification, MCA Small commercial vessels (SCV) are outside the SOLAS safe manning regime. However, there are provisions in Code(s) with similar principles. SCV Codes state that a boat should be safely manned. Responsibility is placed on the owner to ensure that the skipper, and crew of the vessel have, in addition to any qualifications required, recent and relevant experience of the type and size of vessel and the type of operation in which the vessel is engaged. |

Whole Body Vibration (WBV) & Health Surveillance (H-SURV) Dr Trevor Dobbins & John Haynes, FRC International All planing craft can expose occupants to both acute (as demonstrated by the recent MAIB investigations) and chronic injuries from Repeated Shock (RS) and Whole Body Vibration (WBV). European legislation and duty-of-care requires maritime operators to undertake appropriate education and training where employees are exposed to RS and WBV. The presentation will describe the programmes developed by FRC International, and recognised by The Nautical Institute, to support marine operators with their WBV awareness requirements. This includes maintaining the health and effectiveness of marine sector employees. |

RNLI – Saving Lives through Commercial Training Steve Wills, RNLI Most people are aware the RNLI trains its volunteer crews to the highest standards. However, many won't know that the RNLI also uses its expertise to train other organisations. Private companies and other Search and Rescue services from around the world also benefit from RNLI training, with all profits going back into the RNLI. This session explores the concept of commercial SAR and safety training and the wider benefits it can bring. |
