The MCA has updated guidance on the Merchant Shipping and Fishing Vessels (Health and Safety at Work) (Carcinogens and Mutagens) Regulations 2007, explaining the legal duties of employers to protect workers from exposure to cancer-causing or genetic mutation-causing substances on board ships and fishing vessels. It outlines requirements for risk assessments, reducing or preventing exposure, providing training and protective equipment, carrying out health surveillance where necessary, and ensuring workers are informed about the hazards associated with dangerous substances.
