Abstract

This paper analyses the Hoegh Osaka incident in the light of Safety Management systems and the practices evolved in managing safety. These evolved practices had created myths about managing safety through compliance to procedures and checklists generated in typical work-as-imagined scenario which ended up regarding the frontline seafarers as solely responsible for incidents. The paper attempts to debunk these common myths and presents a new view on Safety Management that looks at organizational environment affecting the frontline seafarers performance.
