The work environment onboard ships is extremely complex, containing various hazards and risks. Due to this, rules and regulations were introduced to create a standard onboard, ensuring a better and safer work environment. This is done by the implementation of safety management systems and by training seafarers to recognise everyday risks and hazards and understands how they can mitigate them by the use of personal protective equipment and safe working practices.
