Following the adoption of the lnternational Convention on Standards of Tralning, Certification and Watch keeping for Seafarers (STCW), 1978, as amended, IMO Member Governments have supported IMO in developing model training courses which assist in the implementation of the Convention and in achieving a more rapid transfer of information and skills regarding new developments in maritime technology. It is appreciated that a comprehensive set of short model courses in various fields of maritime training supplements the instruction provided by maritime academies and allows administrators and technical specialists already employed in maritime administrations, ports and shipping companies to improve their knowledge and skills in certain specialized fields. IMO has therefore supported the continuing development of the current series of model courses in response to these generally identified needs. Post the Manila amendments to sTCW 2010, tMo MoDEL couRSE 1.21 - PERSONAL SAFETY AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES has been revised with the 2016 Edition. ACCOTdiNgIY COUTSE Id. 6101 PERSONAL SAFETY AND SOCIAL RESPONS!BILITIES hAS been revised to take into account the changes included in the Model course. These Guidelines shall enter into force with immediate effect. o""p"nfi'singrPI Asst. Director General of Shipping (Trg.) Encl : As aboveGU_rpELrNE9 PERSONAL SAFETY AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES CouTse ,I. AIMS The aim of this course is to provide basic safety training to seafarers to meet the mandatory requirements of Regulation Vl/1 of the STCW Convention and covers the competence requirements as given in the table under section A- Vlll-4 of the STCW Code of the lnternational Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watch keeping for Seafarers, as amended. Seafarers receive safety familiarisation and instructions on personal safety, safe working practices and procedures to adopt to make their transition from a shore to a sea career as smooth as possible and provide some understanding of a seafarer's working environment and the hazards they may encounter, before they actually step on board a ship. This course is part of the "Basic STCW Safety Training" course which comprises of four modules, given under STCW A-Vl/1. 2. OBJECTIVES This course is designed to prepare new recruits for life on a ship at sea where they will experience a vastly different living and working environment compared to that if they were living and working ashore. Working on a ship can be a hazardous occupation for the uninitiated. This course will give new seafarers an insight into the various elements of a ship and working procedures on board so that they adjust to the shipboard environment and are better prepared to cope with any unforeseen circumstances. Trainees successfully cornpleting this course will be able to: . comply with emergency procedures . take precautions to prevent pollution of the marine environment . observe safe working practices o contribute to effective communications on board ship . contribute to effective human relationships on board ship . understand and take necessary actions to control fatigue . take necessary actions regards seafarers bill of rights 3. COURSE CERTIFICATE Documentary evidence in the form of a Course Certificate, the formai of which is appended at the end of these Guidelines shall be issued by the DGS approved maritime training institute to all trainees who have successfully completed theDGS approved "BASIC STCW SAFETY TRAINING" Course. Basic Safety Training Course comprises of 4 STCW Modular courses given under STCW Section: A-Vl/1-'1 : PERSONAL SURVIVAL TECHNIQUES A-Vll1-2: FIRE PREVENTION AND FIRE FIGHTING A-VI/1-3: ELEMENTARY FIRST AID A-Vll1-4: PERSONAL SAFETY AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES4.
