Safety Software System used for vetting processes.

Five ways to use Safety Management System for vetting processes

1. Enhanced risk management

  • Safety management system and Risk management software such as, Presight Barrier Management provides real-time risk transparency, allowing for the continuous monitoring of safety barriers. For examples, the Safety Management System (SMS) can show a comprehensive overview of safety-critical equipment, maintenance, and repair records. These tools also track the timing of previous inspections, helping plan new inspections efficiently, even for vessels in remote locations (ie. By showing the ETA (estimated time of arrival) in a Presight dashboard). This ensures that any potential risks are identified and mitigated promptly, aligning with the vetting process’s emphasis on safety and risk management.

2. Operational efficiency

  • Presight Barrier management system simplifies the tracking and reporting of safety measures, making it easier for vessel crews to maintain records and demonstrate compliance during vetting inspections. This allows for the system to act as a compliance software by reducing the administrative burden and enhances overall efficiency.

3. Holistic view of safety performance 

  • By using Presight OpenRisk and the Presight Barrier Management that integrates with other third party tools such as BowtieXP, it uses the bowtie analysis techniques to provide a comprehensive view of all safety barriers and their performance, ensuring the vessel is well-prepared for vetting inspections and meets all necessary safety and operational standards.

Presight Barrier Management also displays your safety from three different perspectives; area view, operations view (safety critical operations) and people view (competency). 

4. Data-Driven Insights

  • The system’s data analysis capabilities allow for the identification of trends and potential issues before they become significant problems (the grey area in the graph is a forecast). For example, purchasing safety-critical equipment from individual ships requires precise knowledge of the equipment’s status and delivery schedule. This information is vital in the vetting process to ensure all equipment is maintained and available before the inspector arrives. This proactive approach supports continuous improvement in safety and operational practices, which is critical for successful vetting outcomes. 

5. Increased confidence and transparency  

  • With reliable and accessible safety information, vessel operators can confidently present their compliance status to inspectors, fostering transparency and trust. This can lead to more favourable vetting results and a better reputation in the industry. 

By leveraging the capabilities of Presight Barrier Management, vessel operators can ensure that they are consistently meeting the stringent requirements of the vetting process, thereby enhancing safety, compliance, and operational excellence. 

With Safety Management Software you can ensure high safety standards.  

The maritime industry is integral to global trade and energy, demanding rigorous safety measures to mitigate risks and improve risk management and barrier management practices. Tools and programs that aid in vetting inspections and equipment management are essential in maintaining high safety standards. By leveraging data and innovative solutions like Presight OpenRisk and Presight Barrier Management, the industry can ensure safer and more efficient operations.
