Safety at Sea magazine wants to hear from you, the seafarer, about the most important issues impacting crew today.
This month's survey is on crew health and medical care. Living and working at sea often means long hours, disrupted sleeping patterns and depending what vessel and company you work for can also mean unhealthy food and a lack of access to exercise areas. This can all lead to or exacerbate poor health so it is vital that crew are given at least the same access to quality health care and medical protection as those on shore. The IMO’s MLC 2006 outlines the kind of medical care and protection that crew should be receiving. Safety at Sea wants to hear from crew themselves to see if companies are delivering the care they should be and if crew feel able to cope with medical conditions at sea and on the job.
All information you provide will remain anonymous.
The results from the survey will appear in the November issue of Safety at Sea. The questionnaire will close on the 2nd September.
