MSA Code of Safe Working Practice

Summary

In order to implement the EU Directives on safety and health in the workplace, the Marine Safety Agency (MSA) has drawn up a draft 'Code of Safe Working Priactice for Merchant Seamen on UK Registered Vessels'. Seafish has been requested, via a consultancy contract, to consider this draft code and amend it as appropriate to be suitable for crewmembers on UK fishing vessels. This report makes comments and suggestions and records the amendments, made to date, to the Merchant Navy Code in order to achieve a draft Fishing Vessel Code for discussion purposes.
