FISHERY

Fishing is a typically Dutch sector, of which we can be proud. But, unfortunately, the sector regularly comes under pressure. However, safety should never suffer. Working Safely at Sea is there for everyone, and enters into dialogue with everyone. We support large and small entrepreneurs, for example, with educational materials. We listen carefully and we raise issues to improve safety where necessary.

Training and cooperation at sea

Safety is a shared responsibility. That's why safety training is essential for anyone going to sea. Check out a day of training from Rederij Cornelis Vrolijk.

Being aware of dangers at sea makes us safer

Safety is top priority in the 24/7 fishing industry, according to Mate Leen Kuit. Although there are improvements, he remains alert to accidents, such as when his colleague became trapped between a winch.
