Illustration for Maritime Transport Act 1994

You need to know that a law used to say employers must get rid of big hazards to seafarers if they can. This law was part of the Maritime Transport Act 1994. It was repealed, which means it is no longer a law, by the Health and Safety in Employment Amendment Act 2002, which you can read more about at https://legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1986/0120/latest/link.aspx?id=DLM183320.
