In the Danish Maritime Authority, we follow developments in the maritime area closely. In this manner, we ensure that the safety level at sea corresponds to that ashore and that the ILO and EU provisions on occupational health are implemented.
We cooperate with, inter alia, the Danish Working Environment Authority and take part in ILO meetings when occupational health at sea is on the agenda.
According to the regulations of the Danish Maritime Authority, two occupational health services have been established for shipping and fishing, respectively.
Performance of work on board Danish ships
Workplace instructions for work with substances and materials on board Danish ships
The use of personal protective equiment on board ships
The use of technical aids on board ships (work equipment)
