❖Various references formulated by industry

sectors, shipboard equipment manufacturers
and international organizations, such as the

Implementing Occupational Safety and Health
Provisions) provide safety guidance for
personnel working on board.

❖These guidelines are based on practical

experiences and lessons learned from ship-
related accidents, incidents and near-miss
reports, and therefore facilitate safe working
