Section 16 Legislation on Working Environment

The Working Environment §16 course is tailored for foreign members of the shipboard safety organisation, such as supervisors and safety re­p­re­sen­ta­ti­ves, serving on Danish-flagged vessels. The course is mandatory for safety personnel on merchant ships in accordance with the requirements of the Danish Maritime Authority. Participants will gain knowledge about the roles and re­spon­si­bi­li­ties of the safety organisation, the legal framework for occupational safety and health, the risk assessment process, accident and injury prevention, as well as the promotion of a positive safety culture.
