Hazard Reporting Safety Awards Q1 2016
There is a very strong correlation between good hazard reporting and safety related incidents onboard. Vessels that promote hazard reporting create an atmosphere conducive to an open reporting culture generating amongst the complement a constant vigilance to their surroundings. This identification of hazards creates a safer working environment onboard limiting the number of incidents. Conversely, on ships, where hazard and near miss reporting is less than satisfactory, the personnel remain unaware of the hazards lurking around them and such complacence leads to injuries and accidents. Starting January of this year, the hazard reporting target for Teekay Tankers was raised to a mandatory minimum of 30 hazards per month for each vessel. In order to promote a robust hazard reporting culture onboard, we had introduced a quarterly award to be given to one ship from each of the four teams that reported the highest number of hazards during the preceding three months. It gives us great pleasure to announce and recognize the proud recipients of this hazard reporting awards for the first quarter of 2016. The following vessels have reported the highest number of hazards in their teams in Q1 2016.- Team Aquila: Shoshone Spirit- 150 hazards
- Team Centaurus: Seletar and Leyte Spirit- 142 hazards
- Team Lynx: Everest Spirit- 114 Hazards
- Team Orion: Shenlong Spirit- 134 Hazards
