Because of this requirement, you Employers have a legal and ethical obligation to develop and maintain a workplace that is free from hazards associated with maritime PSSR. Employees have the right to work in an atmosphere that promotes the safety and well-being of all.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are PSSR regulations different depending on the ship?
Yes. Regulations differ depending on the size and type of the ship you are working on. Additionally, these regulations are constantly changing. This means you will need to stay informed on the different standards that affect your work environment.
Is shipboard movement a part of PSSR?
Moving around the ship may seem like a small subject, but it is a large part of maritime safety. In order for you to stay safe while working, you need to know how to walk around while the ship is constantly moving.
Why is social responsibility combined with personal safety?
Safety on a maritime vessel is about much more than just physical safety. All employees are entitled to a work environment where they can feel safe around their coworkers. In order to create this environment, employees need to be aware of what behaviors are acceptable aboard a ship.
