Raymond Dalton has been in the Marine and Offshore Oil and Gas industry for the last 40 years. The first half of his career he spent as a deck officer and eventually Captain and spent several years as Captain of the Terra Nova FPSO. In 2006 his younger brother was killed while working in a confined space onboard the shuttle tanker “Kometik”. After the incident he focused on safety training and received a certificate in Health and Safety from the University of Fredericton and is currently working as a Safety Manager for Sea1 Offshore Canada. For
the last 20 years he has tried to keep his brother’s memory alive by sharing the story and the lessons learned. Each year he visits the Marine Institute and talks to the first-year students who are preparing to start their marine careers and discusses the incident and the workers rights (Right to Know, Right to Participate and Right to Refuse Unsafe Work).
