Responsibilities of Maritime Employers to Their Employees
Working on the high seas has its fair share of dangers – and employers cannot keep their crews safe from all of them. Anyone with a vested interest in a seafaring lifestyle must take into consideration the potential perils of spending extended time out at sea.
However, there are precautions that maritime employers must take in order to provide maximum safety for their crews. For an in-depth explanation, please contact our maritime law firm to speak with Attorney Miller. Here are the two major responsibilities of yacht owners to their employees:
- Safe vessel, components in working order, and safety gear stocked. An employer or owner of the boat must be sure that the vessel is seaworthy at the time of its departure. Also, employers must adequately staff the boat for proper navigation and provide enough safety gear for the number of employees aboard.
- Conditions aboard the vessel. The food supply, sleeping conditions, and amenities must meet maritime safety standards.
This is a brief overview for employers to understand basic safety requirements. For a more thorough explanation, please contact Florida maritime attorney Matt Miller. Attorney Miller is dedicated attorney providing maritime legal services to boat owners, buyers, sellers, and crew employers in Florida.
