Navigating Lithium Battery Safety Onboard: Why SOP Compliance Matters. Last week, during an insightful conversation with a highly respected captain, a critical challenge came to light: the difficulty of adhering to Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's) for lithium battery safety onboard. The captain highlighted how failing to meet these procedures could escalate risks in emergency scenarios, potentially leading to catastrophic outcomes. This discussion resonated deeply, emphasizing the urgency of having practical and reliable solutions for lithium battery storage and charging on superyachts. SOP's are at the heart of every onboard Safety Management System (SMS), and without the right products, tools or infrastructure, even the most skilled crew can face insurmountable obstacles when things go wrong. With this in mind, we embarked on further research to address this pressing issue. The result is this article, where we aim to shed light on the importance of SOP compliance and offer actionable pathways to enhance safety onboard through advanced lithium storage solutions. Join us as we explore how aligning Liiontek's technology with safety standards can safeguard lives and assets in a rapidly electrifying maritime environment. https://lnkd.in/e2rGNyUd

LESSONS FROM BOEING We continue our discussion to do with the aviation industry’s Safety Management System (SMS). In spite of the Boeing Company’s recent travails, there is much to learn from this industry. This post at https://lnkd.in/ee9N_wKY is the second in the series to do with SMS. We consider the topic of Safety Accountability and Responsibilities in the process and energy industries. If safety is everyone’s responsibility, then it can be difficult determining just who is responsible for what. Concerns to do with the role of the Safety Department and the Process Safety Professional are considered.

In safety, real-world testing is essential. In this photo, I’m putting our emergency procedures to the test by simulating an escape through the roof of one of our excavators. This hands-on validation allows us to assess if our protocols are as accessible and effective as they need to be in an actual emergency. Effective safety management goes beyond writing procedures—it’s about ensuring that every protocol can be executed smoothly when seconds count. By stepping into these scenarios ourselves, we’re able to refine and strengthen our procedures, providing our teams with the practical, life-saving measures they can rely on in critical moments. Safety isn’t just about planning; it’s about action and continuous improvement.

This is juicy! This is a from a Captain (thank you Kennebec_Captain) in a forum on gCaptain around implementing SMS ... "My introduction to a SMS (Safety Management System) was rather inauspicious. One day the captain and the chief just starting talking about something that was coming. it was going to be bad and it was going to involve a lot of pencil whipping. Seems like every coffee break must have heard the term ‘pencil whip’ a couple dozen times. When the manuals did show up I couldn’t make head or tails of them but the captain did start putting out numerous redundant forms. It was bad, sort of a self-filling prophecy. When the auditors started showing up later however they explained the way we were implementing SMS was stupid (not in so many words) , as if it wasn’t obvious. Anyway, over time the system evolved, we started to understand it better and things began to improve.” I have been implementing Safety Management Systems for over 15 years - from agriculture to aviation to marine. I know FEEL daunting BUT I also know how it can be easy and impactful and set a company up for success and growth. Take a look at this conversation and then call me to talk about Vessel Vanguard and our Safety Management System. #sms #boatsafety #safetymanagement #yachtsafety #marinesafety
