Why On-Site Training Matters — Why We Don’t Believe in One-Size-Fits-All
There are countless online training modules for the marine industry—most of them generic, one-size-fits-all solutions. But when it comes to safety, Shorlink does not believe in a “one size fits all” approach.
That’s why all our training sessions are conducted on-site, whether onboard your vessel or at your business location.
These advantages make on-site training a smart choice for any marine business wanting to improve employee skills and safety in an efficient and cost-effective way.
The law states that as an employer, you must provide health and safety information and training to your employees.
Even if you’re a recreational boat owner, everyone onboard—including operators—should have clear knowledge of what to do to survive in an emergency.
Our courses are designed for both commercial and recreational boat owners, marine businesses, and anyone involved in marine operations.
Learn the ins and outs of your vessel’s safety equipment and emergency response—including fire, person overboard, collision, sinking, and more. Training takes place onboard your vessel to ensure practical knowledge and experience.
Have you or your crew ever fired a distress flare? Do you know the types and proper use? This hands-on course introduces distress flares and how to use them safely and effectively, conducted at a designated location.
Have you or your crew ever actually used a fire extinguisher? Know the different types and when to use them? This practical course ensures all participants get hands-on experience with fire extinguishers.
Never seen or inflated an ILR before? This course covers the full operation and equipment of ILRs, plus demonstrations and survival response scenarios.
With AMSA’s revision of Marine Order 504, induction and training are more important than ever. It’s a legal requirement that everyone onboard is inducted into the SMS, trained properly, and sign-off is completed. Unsure if you’re fully compliant? Let Shorlink’s training team conduct your inductions and emergency response training for total peace of mind.
Many clients—especially recreational owners and land-based businesses—request tailored training programs that fit their specific needs, age groups, budgets, and schedules. We’re happy to design a bespoke course just for you.
This newsletter aims to highlight the critical importance of ensuring everyone onboard your vessel fully understands its equipment, safety appliances, emergency procedures, and survival skills.
But knowledge and skills only save lives when training is delivered in person, on-site—with hands-on practice in real-world settings.
The life saved by that training could be yours, your friend’s, or your family’s.
