In 2019, Prevention at Sea decided to join forces with the industry and has formed the H.EL.M.E.T. Committee aiming at enforcing the HELMET methodology. Members of the Committee represent major, well respected stakeholders, organizations and shipping companies who – together with academia, experts in psychology, law enforcement and management systems – blend to create a strong and dynamic advisory body.

The members are constantly invited to comment on the further development of the preventive approach and submit proposals for the automatization of the process with the aim to bring objectiveness, transparency, acceleration and most importantly the identification of patterns and trends at their early stages.

Meeting annually and interacting throughout the year, the aim of the Committee is to enhance and improve HELMET and ultimately to re-establish a genuine, industry-wide commitment to a ‘safe business culture’.
