Health and Safety Management in Docks
The dynamic nature of port work and the unique circumstances and challenges that every port faces makes it essential to have a system in place to protect the health, safety and welfare of port workers and others who may be affected.
Due to the number of different companies involved in docks activities, the management of health and safety requires good cooperation and coordination between all employers and employees who operate within the port.
The HSA have prepared an information sheet, Management in Health and Safety in Docks, to assist employers in meeting their duties and further guidance is available from the Managing Safely section of this website.
