Abstract: Abstract The evidence of the range and extent of the hazards of work at sea and the harm they cause presents a powerful case for improved preventive measures to protect the health, safety and well-being of seafarers. Following on from the wider regulation of the maritime industry explored in the previous chapter, this chapter examines the regulatory requirements for health and safety management on board ships. It explores the character of these requirements, the contexts in which they are implemented and also considers the evidence, such as it is, of their effectiveness.
