Brief
The Safe Working Practices Regulations outline the guidelines and procedures for employers to ensure the safety and health of workers in various maritime settings. The regulations apply to all working areas associated with ships in Canada or on Canadian ships outside Canada.
The regulations emphasize the importance of maintaining safe working conditions, including regular inspections, proper training, and the use of personal protective equipment. Employers are required to provide a qualified person in charge for every working area, and ensure that employees take reasonable precautions to ensure their own safety and the safety of their fellow employees.
Specifically, the regulations address various aspects of workplace safety, including:
- Lifting appliances and powered mobile equipment
- Working areas on ships, such as holds, tanks, and other compartments
- Fire prevention and protection measures
- Safe working conditions for deck crews, engineers, and other personnel
These regulations aim to protect workers from hazardous conditions and ensure that they can work safely and without injury.
