Tropical Exposures at Sea

Working as Crew on a superyacht is a unique experience which brings a wealth of opportunities… as well as challenges. One area that needs careful consideration is crew health exposures.

Discussion will include common risks, signs and symptoms, treatment measures, as well as prevention techniques. Learn how to use personal protection equipment
used to safeguard yourself from these tropical exposures – including preventative travel planning and assistance resources available to crew.
