New training session to improve onboard safety and working conditions

Next Tuesday, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., the OPP of Palamós will hold a new training session aimed at deckhands and crew members, focusing on two essential aspects of daily work at sea: safety and ergonomics.
The session will include an overview of the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and the protocols to follow in the event of a water ingress.

Participants will also work on recommended postures and movements to help reduce injuries caused by physical strain, such as lifting techniques, guidelines for fish sorting, and tools to prevent lower back pain and other common conditions in the sector.

This training is part of the OPP’s ongoing commitment to improving the safety, wellbeing and professionalism of the Palamós fleet.
