This paper is focused on the increasing security awareness of vessel’s crew to meet with the increasing of pirate activities in High Risk Area especially on Arabian Sea. Methodologies used are observation, interview, and library study. Observation was made during 12 months on board MT. Bull Sulawesi, a crude oil tanker operated by PT. Gemilang Bina Lintas Tirta Tbk. Even all crew hold proficiency certificate based on International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, but according to the observation in fact, found there are some crew that do not understand yet with the main principles of security on board the vessel. Procedure of transiting High Risk Area looks like not well understood by all crew and officer. While on other side, security equipments are also available in a very limited quantity and quality. Regarding to this situation, some recommendations proposed such as conduct a regular security drill to make sure that all crew familiar with their own duty and responsibility. A safety meeting is also an effective way to improve knowledge of crew and officer related to security procedure.

Abstract Background The Royal College of Physician guidelines (2011) identified handover as a “high risk step” in patient care, especially in recent times within the NHS where shift patterns lead to more disjointed care with a high reliance on effective handover by all staff members. Introduction At Cannock Chase hospital, Fairoak ward is an elderly care rehabilitation ward where there is a large multi-disciplinary team. While working on the ward as doctors we noticed that handover between the MDT was poor. Anecdotal evidence from both doctors and nurses felt that this was a high risk area in need of improvement. Aim to improve handover between doctors and nurses on this elderly care ward. Method To measure the quality of current handover practice we did a questionnaire. A total of 12 questionnaires were completed which showed that 92% of staff felt that handover on the ward was very poor and 50% preferred both written and verbal handover. We measured the number of tasks verbally handed over between doctors and nurses over 3 days. On average 65% of the tasks were completed. We then made the below interventions and re-audited to see if there was any improvement. Interventions over 3 week period: Results Questionnaire: Measuring task completion after interventions; Conclusion This project has made a positive change qualitatively and quantitatively to the ward handover practice. Staff satisfaction regarding handover has improved and the number of “handed over” tasks completed daily has significantly improved. The written handover sheet had poor utilisation by staff but in 4 months we are going to re-audit and trial the handover sheet again to further improve service delivery. We hope this improvement will have a positive impact on patient care on this elderly care ward.
