Firsthand experience

You are aboard a ship docked for a few days for provisioning and crew change, conducting inspections on lifting equipment. However, you find that certain materials no longer meet safety standards and must be rejected. What do you do?

As an Inspector, your primary role is to ensure safety. When materials fail the inspection, you clearly communicate the reasons for rejection, emphasizing the associated safety risks. You inform the crew that your priority is their safety and operational integrity. Additionally, you advise on alternative materials that are more durable or suitable for the specific maritime environment, addressing any concerns about your motives by affirming your commitment to safety, not sales.

In situations where there is resistance from the crew, suspecting that rejection is motivated by sales interests, it’s important to maintain your professionalism and independence. You explain that the decision to replace materials is based purely on safety considerations. If asked, you can suggest potential suppliers but remain neutral, reinforcing your role as a trusted and knowledgeable safety advisor.

Growth

A training program has been devised to become an Inspector. Mandatory courses and also optional training are part of this. You will get the chance to grow and develop by learning-on-the-job and by external (on-line)training. We also promote our teammembers to change jobs within the company and stimulate international exchanges.
