PUTTING aside rivalry, teams from 14 shipyards will be visiting and 'checking' on each other's worksites for potential safety lapses and how these can be avoided.

They will carry out these 'audits' under the Marine Industry Safety Engagement Team (Mindset) programme, developed by the Association of Singapore Marine Industries.

Fourteen shipyards from six companies taking part - Keppel Shipyard, Sembawang Shipyard, Jurong Shipyard, Keppel Fels, ST Marine and Drydocks World - will join the pilot which starts next year.
