STCW BASIC SAFETY WEEK OVERVIEW:
STCW Basic Safety Training (BST) is globally recognised and is required in order to work on superyachts, workboats and other commercial vessels over 200 tonnes. Some workboats and foreign flagged vessels under this size also insist on BST. Deck crew and interior staff must (by law) have attended the following five basic safety courses:
- STCW Elementary First Aid (EFA)
- STCW Personal Survival Techniques (PST)
- STCW Fire Prevention & Fire Fighting (FPFF)
- STCW Personal Safety & Social Responsibilities (PSSR)

Bundled together these five short courses are known as STCW Basic Safety Week or Basic Safety Training (BST) and are run regularly in Southampton, Solent.
