Health and Safety
As part of its service to members the British Marine Federation
(BMF) has for many years provided Health and Safety guidance on a
wide range of topics. Over this time there has been a lot of
new Health and Safety legislation, but also growing evidence of
‘good practice’ both within the marine industry and outside, which
has made compliance easier. Good implementation of Health and
Safety regulations can assist with process efficiency, well-being
of staff, and profitability.
The BMF has developed a comprehensive Health and Safety Guide
complemented by three Sector Guides covering the specific needs of
Boat Building and Repairs, Marinas and Boatyards and Boat Using at
Work. These resources are available on CDROM in an easy to
read, fully searchable format, allowing quick access to sections,
topics, references and bookmarking. Also included are many of
the free guides published by the Health and Safety Executive.
Members receive one complimentary copy of the Health and Safety
Guide, non-members and members requiring additional copies can
purchase online for £50 + VAT + p&p. Click here to purchase or call Carole Abel on
