Merchant shipping health and safety protection and accident prevention regulations
Seeks views on the Maritime Labour Convention 2006 regulations about minimum standards for health and safety.
Detail
The current regulations apply to ‘all activities of workers on United Kingdom ships’. The proposed Merchant Shipping (Maritime Labour Convention) (Health and Safety) Regulations would amend those regulations so that the requirements of Maritime Labour Convention 2006 Regulation 4.3 are fully implemented.
You are invited to comment on any elements of these proposed regulations which would not be appropriate where they apply to vessels on domestic voyages, with evidence of any unreasonable costs or burdens.
