QHSE system: Why the QHSE Management needs to digitalize internal processes

A QHSE system is part of today’s modern management in shipping companies worldwide. They are fully committed to act in accordance with best practices in QHSE, and they take a proactive approach in managing maritime safety.

Complying with the latest national and international shipping regulations and standards is an essential part of working in an international shipping company – especially if you are a QHSE Manager.

What is QHSE?

QHSE is an abbreviation of Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment. Four elements based on the belief that all accidents are caused by human error and can be prevented with training and documentation.

QHSE Management & Maritime Safety

Safety is key, not only to the shipping company and its assets, but also to its clients, employees and the environment.

QHSE Management includes everything from ISO standards, ISM (International Safe Management) code and International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS Code) in order to meet the international standard for working and living onboard a vessel.
