Five steps to make your mental health agenda live in offshore, renewables, maritime, and other safety-critical workplaces.

This guide is for the person who has been asked, or has decided, to act. It sets out a practical, step-by-step framework built for the real conditions of high-risk industries, drawing on WHO guidelines, Gard's Crew Claims Report 2025, and Maersk Training's experience delivering Mental Health First Aid globally.

Our People & Performance team works with organisations across safety-critical industries to design and deliver mental health programmes that are practical, evidence-based, and built to last. Our Mental Health First Aid courses run as open enrolment or in-house delivery, anywhere in the world.
