Thanks Robbie, will be an interesting read. I suspect much of it will be based around the U.K. Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.

Most legislation around the world is.

I think you work on the ships? If so it’s a real minefield

I think this may help

But I think it really depends where your vessel is flagged

Cheers Parm and i will do if you pm me you email address or something like that and ill see if i can get it shipped across to you.

Yes i do and yes it all depends on where the ship is flagged have spent a day chasing my tail as the Maritime and ports authourity of sinagpore for singapore flag vessels adopted allegedly the Code of safe working practices produced by the MCA known as coswop in the industry. Any how coswop is just guidance but if its not followed the peverbial hits the fan if something gose wrong, any way finally found a clause in it which says that uk hs law dosent pertain to foreign flagged vessels and only international law and thier flags law dose, as i was trying to argue that if coswop had been adopted then uk hs would apply as i was trying to sort out air fed welding helmets for the fitters onboard. Hit a blank wall there anyway but you cant remember every piece of the rule book even though the mca expects you to when your a cadet. Just for completeness i was checking singapores rules to dot all my i and cross all my t's. May have found something which i can use to argue a point.

Company said in an email last year there is no budget when it comes to safety, company later that year fired the guy who sent that email but have never officially recinded that statement so may still be a bit of hope.

While I admire your desire to improve things at work, sometimes it pays to pick your battles, so that you dont end up in the same boat as the guy who sent the email.

Dont forget,

No job is so important that it cant be done safely......









Unless its going to cost money!


Safely is a relative thing, and often opinion based.

When I worked offshore our company was all about safety. When they had to be.

We coined the term “WesternGeco, safety first, when convenient and inexpensive”

Sadly we had a couple of guys die on our ships, because the company would not follow its own safety regulations.

Only trying as hong kong flag ships have managed to wrangle them some how so singapores regulations cant be too different. Ill give up if necessary dont worry had an argument with the cheif and captian over my hours of rest a week back captian wasnt listening so it was the time just to give up and walk away.

Good morning @Robbie260, I'm currently learning about safety in construction works. If it is not too much trouble, may I kindly request a copy, please?
