Legislation

Over the years the maritime sector has developed regulations and design standards to prevent loss of life at sea.

These standards have worked well and as ships have become safer there is now more attention paid to RIBs and High Speed Craft and this includes reducing injury at sea.

Legislation and Litigation

Europe tends to be driven by legislation and  the United States is frequently driven by litigation but the results are the same.

Professional organisations that reduce operator injury and comply with legislation also see the benefits of improved operational efficiency and reduce the risk of injury claims.

The EU Vibration Directive

The European Vibration Directive legislation affects all marine employers, especially those operating RIBs and High Speed Craft.

The EU Vibration Directive relates to all land, sea and air transport. Although this is European legislation the standards may be applied to other countries.
