Maritime Transport Act 1994

Offences in relation to maritime activity - Offences against health and safety on ships

61: Offences likely to cause serious harm

You could also call this:

"Hurting someone on a ship is a serious crime"

If you do something on a ship that could cause serious harm to someone's health or safety, it is considered a serious offence. You need to know that this law is part of the rules to keep people safe on ships. A law called the Health and Safety in Employment Amendment Act 2002 changed this rule on 5 May 2003, and you can find more information about this change in section 35(1)(d) of that Act.
