Basic Safety Training - Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting (Model Course 1.20)

Seafarers employed or engaged in any capacity on board ship on the business of that ship as part ship’s complement with designated safety or pollution-prevention duties in the operation of the ship shall, before being assigned to any shipboard duties:

 

a) Receive appropriate approved basic training or instruction in:

 

  • personal survival techniques as set out in table A-VI/1-1
  • Fire prevention and firefighting as set out in Table A-VI/1-2
  • elementary first aid as set out in Table A-VI/1-3; and 
  • personal safety and social responsibilities as set out in Table A-VI /1-4

 

b) be required to provide evidence of having achieved the required standard of competence to undertake the tasks, duties and responsibilities listed in column 1 of tables A-VI/1-1, A-VI/1-2, A-VI/1-3, and A-VI/1-4 through:

 

  • demonstration of their competence and
  • examination or continuous assessment as part of an approved training program

 

 Our Training for Fire Prevention & Fire Fighting course is prepared according to the requirements included in the IMO model course 1.20 and includes certification and exam.

 

In addition regarding Basic Safety Training refresher courses:

 

a)     According to STCW code ch VI prgr 3, seafarers qualified in basic training shall be required every 5 years, to provide evidence of having maintained the required standards of competence, to undertake the tasks, duties and responsibilities listed in column 1 of tables A-VI/1-1 and A-VI/1-2 while in column 3 of the same tables the assessment of evidence will be obtained from approved instruction or during attendance at an approved course or approved in-service experience and examination (that cannot be  provided on board).

 

b)    Most of the training centers issue the Basic Safety Training certificates for 5 years and many Port States recently request documented evidence for “evidence” as column 3 of STCW tables A-VI/1-1 and A-VI/1-2 above, not accepting on board training because not in line with the STCW requirements.

 

c)     Many companies subject to TMSA 3 requirements request refresh courses and exam  as evidence to verify the “competency” for their crew regarding safety and security aspects, namely refresh courses for BST and ISPS related courses that will include certification and exam.
