Training of trainers
FAO and the FISH Safety Foundation (FSF) developed in 2019-2020 a comprehensive package of Train-the-Trainer materials on safety at sea for small-scale fishers. The package was prepared with inputs from safety at sea professionals in the Caribbean region.
The package of training materials includes modules on:
- General safety
- Personal safety
- Survival at sea
- Vessel Stability
- Emergency preparation
- Safety risk management
- Safe operation of outboard motors
- Boat handling
- Emergency first aid
- Communication
- Basic maritime traffic rules
A dedicated online Train-the-Trainer environment has been developed, which includes the above modules in different languages and additional resources. The information on the website is regularly updated with new modules.
Trainers on fishing safety for small-scale fishers, who would like to make use of the package, can request free access by sending an e-mail to Fishing‑[email protected].
