Unit 15 - Manage marine employee workplace health and safety

This standard covers the competence required to manage marine employee health and safety.

The main focus is on the land-side activities of marine department personnel and others to whom the Harbour Master owes a duty of care. However this standard may also apply to water-based operations. The land-side focus differentiates this standard from standard PSS HM101 Manage port marine safety, which has a wider remit and is primarily marine (wet-side) focussed. The standard includes conducting a risk assessment; producing, documenting, operating and reviewing safety systems.

Target Group

This standard applies to individuals who have a duty to facilitate the safe and efficient use of the harbour.

Typically this will be the Harbour Master or Authorised Deputies with delegated powers.
