Working Boats issue 7

Our goal at AMSA is to keep people on domestic commercial vessels safe, so that they come home to their families and friends. Recent deaths in the industry have reiterated the need for safety to be at the core of the National System and AMSA’s approach to the regulatory scheme. We understand that you can’t completely remove risk, but it needs to be effectively managed. We need each person on board to think about how they can help themselves, their crew and their passengers stay safe. We need a national culture of safety.
