Some work activities on board your vessel may need to comply with the various WHS laws and codes of practice.

Meeting AMSA's requirements does not automatically mean that your operation is compliant with WHS laws, and vice versa. 

Your local WHS regulator can be contacted for further information about the requirements of the WHS laws on your vessel.
