The goal of this initiative is to raise awareness and improve safety performance in the fishing and aquaculture industry Australia wide.
Australia’s fishers take action to improve industry safety.
“He was doing an activity which happens every day. Unfortunately, it just didn’t work out for him that day, and in an instant his dory was upside dory and he consequently drowned. That makes you stop and think.”
In memory of Ryan Donoghue 23 September 1993 – 23 November 2013

About SeSAFE
The goal of the SeSAFE project is to raise awareness and improve safety performance in the Australian fishing and aquaculture industry.
A core activity of this project is the development of brief safety training modules (videos) that fishers and others can easily access online or download on a tablet or mobile phone. Several short questions at the end of each module serve to provide a record of module completion and comprehension of module material.
The project slogan, What if you don’t come home? is designed to encourage fishers and others to think about the implications of not coming home from sea.
