E-book Fishermen's Safety Guide
The fishing vessel owner has a duty to ensure the health and safety of fishermen and other persons so far as is reasonably practicable. The fishing vessel owner (which includes the manager if they have assumed responsibility for the operation of the vessel) has overall responsibility to ensure that the skipper is provided with the necessary resources and facilities to comply with the regulations. The fishing vessel owner should set the health and safety policy for the vessel so that the skipper is clear what is expected. The fishing vessel owner’s responsibility extends to all fishermen, whether they are employed or share fishermen. While the fishing vessel owner always has overall responsibility, it is recognised that if they are not onboard their fishing vessel, they may have limited control of day to day activities. The regulations provide that responsibility for health and safety also rests with any person who is in control of any particular matter. This will most likely be the skipper in respect of day-to-day running of the vessel.
