intended primarily for merchant seamen on United Kingdom registered vessels MS (Code of Safe Working Practices for Merchant Seamen) Regs 1998 S.I 1998 No 1838 Copies of the current printed edition of the Code must be carried on all United Kingdom ships other than fishing vessels and pleasure craft, and a copy must be made available to any seaman in the ship who requests it, in accordance with the Merchant Shipping (Code of Safe Working Practices for Merchant Seamen) Regulations 1998 There should always be an adequate number of copies to allow the Master, Safety Officer and any members of the Safety Committee to have their own, leaving at least one available for general reference Provided that the requirements of the Merchant Shipping (Code of Safe Working Practices) Regulations 1998 are met, including the requirement for copies of the code to be easily accessible, MCA accepts that some copies may be electronic In all cases at least one printed copy of the Code shall be available This Code is addressed to everyone on a ship regardless of rank or rating because the recommendations can be effective only if they are understood by all and if all cooperate in their implementation Those not themselves actually engaged in a job in hand should be aware of what is being done, so that they may avoid putting themselves at risk or those concerned at risk by impeding or needlessly interfering with the conduct of the work The Code is arranged in sections which deal with broad areas of concern The introduction gives the regulatory framework for health and safety on board ships and overall safety responsibilities under that framework Section is largely concerned with safety management and the statutory duties underlying the advice in the remainder of the Code All working on MSCP01/Ch0/Rev2.05/Page MSCP01/Ch0/Rev2.01/Page of 26 board should be aware of these duties and of the principles governing the guidance on safe practice which they are required to follow Section begins with a chapter setting out the areas that should be covered in introducing a new recruit to the safety procedures on board It goes on to explain what individuals can to improve their personal health and safety Section is concerned with various working practices common to all ships Section covers safety for specialist ship operations The Maritime and Coastguard Agency wishes to acknowledge the support and expert contributions from many working in the shipping industry, but in particular from the members of the Industry Steering Group for the revision of the Code: Mr G Colclough Ex
