    Why Do I Need Maritime PSSR Safety Training?

    The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) doesn’t have a specific standard for maritime PSSR training. However, under the General Duty Clause, Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are required to provide a workplace that “is free from recognizable hazards that are causing or likely to cause death or serious harm to employees.”

    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.

    Are PSSR regulations different depending on the ship?

    arrow icon

    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?

    arrow icon

    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?

    arrow icon

    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.
