🚨 Are we really training our teams for emergencies?
We talk about mandatory training:
🛟 Man overboard
🔥 Fire drills
🦺 Survival suits
🩹 First aid
But what happens when the emergency isn't the one you've practised?
🔥 A serious burn in the galley.
⚙️ A crush injury in the engine room.
🚪 A fall in the lazarette.
🩸 A casualty who can't be moved.
Does everyone know what to do?
🚨 Who raises the alarm?
🩺 Who gets the medical equipment?
🤝 Who supports the casualty?
📡 Who communicates with the bridge?
📞 Who calls for help?
🌍 Could everyone give accurate coordinates to the Coastguard?
⏳ Could the team keep a casualty safe for an extended period while waiting for help?
And perhaps the biggest question:
👥 Is your crew trained to work together — or simply trained individually?
A truly prepared team doesn't need every action directed by the Captain.
They understand their roles.
They communicate.
They support each other.
They respond almost like clockwork ⚙️
Because emergencies don't always happen during a drill.
