The crew of the Seaways Madeleine devised a meaningful method to emphasise the importance of safety onboard
To reinforce their commitment to safety onboard, the team initiated a creative project: each crew member was invited to share photos of their loved ones for a poster, creating a powerful visual reminder of why safety matters.
This poster was displayed prominently near the stairwell notice board, ensuring it would be visible to all crew members as they make their way to work.
This simple yet profound reminder sparked a noticeable shift in the crew’s dedication to safety onboard. Here’s what some crew members had to say about this initiative:
“I used to walk along the deck longitudinals when crossing from port to starboard. One day, I was about to do it again, but then I remembered my family’s photo on the poster. It made me realise that it wasn’t worth risking my safety for a few seconds. I stopped doing it, and now I even remind my colleagues to do the same.”
“Every morning before starting work, I see my family’s smiling faces. Seeing everyone’s family photos together makes me smile and reminds me to stay safe so I can create more happy memories with my loved ones, just like the ones in the photos.”
This initiative has fostered a stronger safety culture. Together, all crew members share in the commitment to ensuring they return safely to the ones they love.
