Maritime Transport Act 1994

Duties relating to health and safety on ships - Duties of employers in relation to hazards

10: Significant hazards to seafarers to be minimised, and seafarers to be protected, where elimination and isolation impracticable

You could also call this:

"Keep seafarers safe from big hazards at work when you can't remove them."

If you are an employer of seafarers, you must try to minimise significant hazards to them. You should protect seafarers from these hazards when you cannot eliminate or isolate them. This rule was part of the Maritime Transport Act 1994, but it was repealed on 5 May 2003 by section 35(1)(c) of the Health and Safety in Employment Amendment Act 2002.
