”The Global Safety Day on board Bow Triumph was thrilling; we had challenging games about safety, hazards, and PPE. The first game was Pass the Message, where we memorized phrases about safety and whispered it to the members of the group until it reached the last person, who wrote down the message on a paper. The game made us realize that through effective communication, we can amplify safer and effective work. The second game, which was about identifying hazards and the correct use of PPE, was a good reminder of our responsibility to keep ourselves and our colleagues safe.”
- Gerryc Ellen Santos, Deck Cadet, Bow Triumph
