Data and studies show that effective management of Port Facility safety and personnel health can substantially reduce employee fatalities, injuries, and illnesses and the costs associated with them. In response, many states have regulations and guidelines on workplace safety, health & environmental programs or management systems.
Regulatory status: REGULATION (EU) 2017/352 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 15 February 2017 in CHAPTER IV - GENERAL AND FINAL PROVISIONS - Article 14 - Training of staff states the following:
“Providers of port services shall ensure that employees receive the necessary training to acquire the knowledge which is essential for their work, with particular emphasis on health and safety aspects, and that training requirements are regularly updated to meet the challenges of technological innovation”
To this extent, every Port Facility should identify the health and safety hazards that can arise during the Port Facility’s activities and implement effectively such programs regardless of the size of the workplace or the number of hazards, in order to manage workplace safety and protect personnel health and the environment.
