MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS
GUIDELINES TO SHIPPING COMPANIES ON MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS
The UK Chamber of Shipping, Nautilus International and the
National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT)
have jointly agreed the following guidelines to shipping companies
on drawing up policies on mental health and mental illness.
Companies are recommended to adopt such policies; if they
already have policies in place, they are recommended to review
them in the light of these guidelines.
The aims of shipping companies’ policies on mental health and
mental illness should include:
• To promote the health, safety and welfare of seafarers
• To foster a company culture that is conducive to improving the mental health of seafarers
• To ensure awareness of the importance of good mental health among company managers
• To provide support for staff who are identified as having mental health problems, ensuring that they are treated with sympathy and respect and in confidence
• To increase awareness among all staff of the potential signs of mental health problems
• To provide training to staff in having conversations with others about their mental health.
