Rightboat.com, one of the fastest-growing marine marketplaces in the US and UK, has announced the launch of Propel, a new OEM-focused marketing program purpose-built to deliver targeted exposure, lead generation, and brand control for manufacturers of new boats.

The gig economy is growing, and the ways people work are changing so employers need to think differently about how to keep workers healthy and safe.
For health and safety purposes, gig economy workers should be treated no differently to other workers and will often identify as agency or temporary workers, or self-employed.
In the marine sector this may apply also to seasonal or part time workers often onboard pleasure trip boats or working for hire boat operators.
In response to the growing changes, The health and safety executive has updated and issued specific guidance to companies who employ temporary staff and for the workers to ensure their own safety whilst at work.
