Crowd Management & Passenger Safety Training for Crew & Staff Onboard Ships

Course Introduction
Good crowd management & control is essential in preventing crushing, outbreaks of violence, riots, and other potential incidents that can occur when a large number of people are gathered together in one place. As passenger ships carry a very large number of people, it is vital for all members of the ship’s crew to have an understanding and an ability to assist passengers in any emergency situation. This includes, but is not limited to controlling passengers in staircases, corridors, and passages, to use procedures for preventing panic and other irrational behaviour, and to communicate with, instruct and inform passengers of any situation to mitigate in the risk of panic-related responses.
