Log Book - OSHA Blue Shipyard - 3/24/15
OSHA Blue Book ~ March 24, 2015
SafestCatch.net ~ Safest Catch Dot Net
OSHA (Occupational Safety Health Administration) has published the long awaited Shipyard Industry Standards book.
When it comes to OSHA and the Fishing Industry in the Pacific Northwest, we see Amy Duz at IworkWise.com as the expert in coordinating the rules with the real world issues we face aboard fishing vessels.
The former version of this book was Brown - commonly referred to as the Brown Shipyard Book. Well, not to confuse matters, the new one is Blue - I would expect it to be called the Blue book (shocking), moving forward.
It's a valuable piece fo safety equipment and one that I encourage all who are involved with vessels, fishing and otherwise, to take a look at. For those of us in fishing, we have the added layers of safety provided by the rules and regulations of:
- United States Coast Guard
- NIOSH Fishing
- OSHA Blue Book
- Classification Agencies (ABS, DNV, Veritas, Lloyds, etc.)
This is serious business and we appreciate the efforts of all involved to keep our work place as safe (and seaworthy) as possible.
Safest Catch dot Net - a play on Deadliest Catch - where real fishermen pursue safe, seaworthy, and sustainable fisheries.
