Abstract: Abstract This chapter provides an outline of the regulatory environment within which health and safety in the global maritime industry is situated. Regulation of health and safety in the industry is complex and there is a multifaceted array of law and practice interacting to protect seafarers, ranging from the codification of local, experience-based practice to national legislation and international conventions. The juxtaposition of these sources of regulation, the local and traditional, on the one hand, and regulation from international sources on the other, have been central to the development and character of the current regulatory framework that governs the maritime industry, and this is a recurrent theme in the present chapter.
