The course is aligned with MLC 2006 regulation 3.2 of the ILO convention, which places a strong emphasis on the health and well-being of seafarers, including the safety of the food they consume while on board. It also complies with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) principles, ensuring that the food handling and preparation processes meetinternationally recognized food safety standards.

Food safety and hygiene are paramount in any food preparation setting, but they are especially critical in a maritime
context where a large crew and passengers rely on the galley staff for their meals. The course covers topics such as safe food handling, cross-contamination prevention, proper storage practices, and personal hygiene to minimize the risk of foodborne illnesses.

By completing this training, galley staff not only adhere to regulatory requirements but also play a vital role in safeguarding the health and well-being of everyone on board. Their commitment to maintaining the highest food safety and hygiene standards contributes significantly to the overall safety and comfort of maritime operations.

The Food Safety and Hygiene for Galley Staff online course is a crucial training program specifically tailored for food
handlers working in catering, particularly in the maritime industry. Its primary objective is to provide galley staff with a
foundational understanding of essential food safety and hygiene practices.

This training program is mandatory for specific personnel, including Masters, Chief Engineer Officers, Chief Mates, and Second Engineer Officers. Additionally, it is required for any individual listed on the muster list with responsibilities for passenger safety during emergency situations.

The course focuses on two key aspects: crisis management and human behavior. Seafarers learn how to organize and execute shipboard emergency procedures efficiently, utilizing emergency plans and control measures to mitigate the impact of critical situations. Understanding the roles and responsibilities of each crew member in crisis management is crucial for maintaining order and ensuring an effective response.

Moreover, the training delves into the intricacies of human behavior during emergencies, emphasizing the importance of communication, leadership, and psychological aspects. It equips seafarers with the knowledge to manage passengers and other personnel effectively, keeping them calm and informed during high-stress situations.
In compliance with STCW Regulation V/2 (8), A-V/2 (4), this course ensures that maritime professionals are well-prepared to navigate the complex challenges posed by emergencies at sea.

By promoting effective crisis management and understanding human behavior under stress, this training contributes significantly to the overall safety and security of ships and their occupants, emphasizing the maritime industry's commitment to preserving lives and assets.

The STCW Crisis Management and Human Behavior online course serve a critical purpose in the maritime industry by
equipping seafarers with the skills necessary to effectively manage shipboard emergency procedures and ensure the
safety of passengers and crew during crises.
