protection and prevention of accidents, injuries and diseases which are due to particular hazards
of maritime employment, research should be undertaken into general trends and into such hazards
as are revealed by statistics.
2. The implementation of protection and prevention programmes for the promotion of
occupational safety and health should be so organized that the competent authority, shipowners
and seafarers or their representatives and other appropriate bodies may play an active role,
including through such means as information sessions, on-board guidelines on maximum exposure
levels to potentially harmful ambient workplace factors and other hazards or outcomes of a
systematic risk evaluation process. In particular, national or local joint occupational safety and
health protection and accident prevention committees or ad hoc working parties and on-board
committees, on which shipowners’ and seafarers’ organizations concerned are represented, should
be established.
