THREE new codes of practice came into force this week which aim to improve safety for everyone involved in the fishing industry.
All three codes have been developed with the help of the Fishing Industry Safety group, which includes fishing federations, Seafish, the Shipbuilders’ and Shiprepairers’ Association and the Fishermen’s Mission.
Each code has been designed to improve safety through the introduction of new safety requirements, adopting technological developments and addressing recommendations from the Marine Accident Investigation Branch.
