#9 Podcast: Heading for change to prevent fatigue
This is a special episode of an old recording before this podcast series existed. We interviewed Doctor Claire Pekcan, the Director of Safe Marine that specialise in safety culture within the marine industry. Claire has also been involved in research projects that investigate fatigue at sea.
We think this theme is still very much valid, especially under current circumstances. Please join us for a special episode of heading for change.
