ETF and Europêche’s multilingual app for health and safety on fishing boats.

This application was developed by ETF and Europêche, EU-level social partners. The project was financially supported by the European Commission. Fisheries is a much internationalized sector and EU fishing vessels often operate with multilingual crews. The lack of a common language among crew members can be an obstacle to safe and secure navigation and on-board operations. Training should be the first and foremost instrument to improve safety and security. Proper training should be compulsory for all those working on board fishing vessels. At the same time, tools like this application can contribute to tackling the communications problems that occur when people speak different languages whilst working on the same vessels.

This app contains an extensive glossary on most recurrent health and safety issues and provides an overview of emergency situations, abbreviations, related words. Text is accompanied by pictures. The application also offers the possibility of an off-line search which allows the glossary to be used in the absence of an internet connection.
