Jeff, fact is only when insurance companies faced the heat due to massive environmental damages that massive implementation of safety measures began. Managements and yes people in important positions have to be literally forced to follow safety principles. Hence the requirement for the ISM. What do you think FOC managements payout in case of injury or death? Peanuts and at times nothing. Thats why PSCs and organizations like the
USCG/ AMSA conduct sustained campaigns..
Domer you raised some good issues. Will get back.
