VIRSEC, an eLearning provider headquartered in Manchester, United Kingdom, announced the release of an online course dedicated to promoting awareness, understanding, and prevention of sexual harassment for yacht crew and personnel within the maritime workplace. Designed particularly for all personnel working at sea, the course will explore what constitutes sexual harassment, the impact it has on individuals and crew morale, and the responsibilities of organizations to create a safe and respectful working environment. The course’s description offers seven learning outcomes for participants and aims to equip maritime personnel with the knowledge, awareness, and confidence to identify, prevent, and appropriately address sexual harassment in the workplace. 1. Define sexual harassment and recognize behaviors that constitute harassment in a maritime context. 2. Understand the legal and organizational frameworks that govern workplace conduct at sea. 3. Identify the indicators, impacts, and consequences of harassment for individuals, teams, and operations. 4.
