Employers are now incorporating seafarer’s soft skills into their crewing decisions. The soft, ‘non-technical skills’ are increasingly important on board due to the rapidly changing workforce and automation of technical tasks. Additionally, maritime accident investigations indicate that a lack of soft skills and human error is the most common reason behind accidents at sea.

Skulderbredden måles av sertifisert personell i henhold til retningslinjer gitt av The passenger size working group, The helicopter safety steering group og Step Change in Safety.

Etter at deltaker er målt, blir vedkommende kategorisert i en av to kategorier – Non Extra Broad (ikke ekstra bredskuldret) eller Extra Broad (ekstra bredskuldret).

Er man ikke ekstra bredskuldret kan man sitte der man ønsker i helikopteret, mens de som blir kategorisert som ekstra bredskuldret får designerte plasser i helikopteret, da med store vinduer som nødutgang.

Skulderbredden måles på bar hud, så deltaker må ha på seg t-skjorte/singlet for selve målingen.

The course covers the following topics:

- Agreement on Inclusive Working Conditions

At the beginning of the course you can take a pre-test, where you get the opportunity to show your skills. If you pass the pre-test, you do not have to go through the entire course.
