Amendment To Merchant Shipping and Fishing Vessels Regulations 2022: Entry into Enclosed Spaces
Did you know that there are new regulations in place for shipping and fishing vessels concerning confined space training, portable gas detection supplies and breathing apparatus supplies?
According to the new regulations, the operator of any vessel over 500t that has a confined space onboard will need to provide breathing apparatus, portable gas testing and enclosed space training for key personnel on each vessel.
Johnson Controls are perfectly placed to advise and, where necessary, assist you in making sure that your vessels and crews meet these new legal requirements.
Our approach to confined space management is simple, and is driven by the desire to prevent accidents from occurring. Our experienced consultants, on-site managers, supervisors and rescue teams set the benchmark for confined space safety.
