Industry stakeholders take part in enclosed spaces webinar

InterManager, and other shipping industry stakeholders, took part in a webinar aiming to find solutions to prevent enclosed space accidents, organised by the Nautical Institute.

Although best practice guidelines are in place, accidents in enclosed spaces caused by lack of oxygen or the presence of poisonous gasses continue to occur far too frequently, with devastating consequences for seafarers and their families.

In response, the maritime industry has united to take action, forming a joint industry initiative aimed at education with the ultimate goal of reducing and, ideally, eliminating these accidents.

This interactive webinar discussed the latest data on enclosed space accidents and, through a case study, examined how and why a fatal accident occurred.
