Safety Motivator mobile app

Built for seafarers.

Built by one.

Safety Motivator is the maritime industry’s digital safety platform, created by a career seafarer with over four decades of experience at sea.

Who we are

A safety company that started at sea, not behind a desk.

Safety Motivator was founded by a master mariner with more than forty years at sea. The idea took shape during a routine fire drill, when it became clear that the information a crew relies on in an emergency was scattered across binders, notice boards and memory.

We build the tool we wished we’d had on watch. One place that holds every location, instruction and procedure a seafarer needs to work safely and compliantly on any vessel. No stack of folders, no guesswork, just the right information the moment it counts.

Our story

From Experience Comes Better Safety

Safety Motivator was created to simplify the current processes in place for the safety familiarisation tours conducted for seafarers. Our CEO worked as an seafarer for over forty years, and the initial inspiration occurred when conducting a fire safety drill as a crew member.

The original concept was to provide multiple folders containing the necessary information for the specific location (i.e the gallery). The information would include the locations of equipment, instructions information etc. The concept evolved into a much easier methodology, providing each crew member with an account for an application which housed all of the information mentioned above, in one place.

The team insists that a modernised revamp of the current processes presently in place is required. By eliminating the current paper-based processes it will be possible to speed up internal processes and workflows.

As an seafarer, our CEO considers that Health & Safety is of the utmost priority when working on any vessel.

Vision & purpose

We want safety familiarisation to be the clearest part of the job, not the most confusing.

The current antediluvian system relies on crew members being aware of the location of all emergency equipment at all times. In today’s working environment, that assumption no longer holds.

Our mission

Simplify the health and safety processes onboard every vessel, and make compliance something a crew can actually use, not just file away.

Our goal

Give every seafarer one trusted place to learn a vessel, so joining a new ship never means starting from a stack of paperwork.

What we stand by

01

Safety is non-negotiable

Every decision we make starts with the crew’s wellbeing. Nothing ships if it makes the job less safe.

02

Built by seafarers

We design from the deck up, with people who have stood the watch and run the drills for real.

03

Simple beats paper

If it is hard to use in a hurry, it is not safe enough. Clarity is a safety feature, not a nicety.

04

Compliance you can learn

Meeting the standard should also teach the standard, so crews get better every time they use it.
