Equipment for, and construction of, Swedish vessels related to certain occupational safety and health issues.

Regulations amending the Swedish Transport Agency’s regulations (TSFS 2019:56) on work environment on ships

The draft regulation proposes provisions on lighting, ventilation and climate, as well as signs and signals in the Swedish Work Environment Authority’s new regulations (AFS 2020:1) on the design of the workplace shall enter into force for work on ships.

The amendments mean that current references to the Swedish Work Environment Authority’s previous regulations in these areas (AFS 2009:2 on workplace design, AFS 1997:2 on work in hot environments and AFS 2008:13 on signs and signals) are based on the regulation.
The draft regulation further proposes that the Swedish Work Environment Authority’s new regulations on work adaptation (AFS 2020:5) should apply on board ships, while the reference to the previous regulations in the area, AFS 1994:1, is deleted.
