If you are an employer of seafarers, you must isolate significant hazards that could harm them if it is not possible to eliminate these hazards. You have a responsibility to protect seafarers from harm. This rule is part of the Maritime Transport Act 1994, but it was repealed on 5 May 2003 by the Health and Safety in Employment Amendment Act 2002, which can be found on the New Zealand legislation website.
