International Maritime Organization in 2006
“The challenge for managers ashore and afloat, is to minimize these unsafe acts and to instill not only the skills but also the attitudes necessary to ensure that safety objectives are met. The aim should be to inspire seafarers towards firm and effective self-regulation and to encourage personal ownership of established best practice. Internationally recognized safety principles and the safeguards of best industry practice have to become an integral part of an individual's own personal standards.”
