Fire safety training on board with the Trainer Tool
The Trainer Tool is designed for fire safety instructors on board, such as officers or designated crew members. After completing the accompanying e-learning, they use the tool to perform monthly drills based on realistic scenarios. The approach is based on the proven method instruction > visualisation > drill.
This structured method, frequently used by emergency services and defence, ensures that theory is immediately put into practice, in the environment where it really matters. It is a proven effective way to adequately train your crew in incident response.
Fire safety instructor training in your own environment
SOLAS requires training on board at least monthly according to the well-known mandatory drills. Training with your own fire safety instructor on board has demonstrable advantages:
- Your crew practises with their own equipment and procedures
- Scenarios match daily practice
- Improve team collaboration and communication
- New insights are applied immediately
- the team grows in commitment and self-confidence
The Trainer Tool helps in-house instructors take advantage of these benefits, without hours of preparation. The tablet contains everything they need; clear, up-to-date and applicable.
Train the trainer: development of knowledge and skills
With the Trainer Tool, you work according to the train-the-trainer principle. Instructors not only learn about fire safety content, but also develop their didactic skills. Thanks to the clear structure in the Trainer Tool, they know exactly:
- how an exercise is structured
- What they should assess and evaluate
- which safety measures apply
- How they process and secure feedback
So with the train-the-trainer principle, you train both the trainer and the crew. This creates consistency in the implementation of fire safety drills across the entire fleet, regardless of ship or instructor.
Extra value: the trainer as on-scene commander
In many cases, the fire safety instructor also fulfils the role of on-scene commander during incidents. By using the Trainer Tool, he or she develops an in-depth understanding of team behaviour, scenarios and risk assessment. This leads to:
- Act faster and more effectively at incidents
- Less stress and uncertainty among crew
- More confidence in onboard leadership
The investment in the trainer is therefore also an investment in operational leadership.
