The Merchant Shipping and Fishing Vessels (Health and Safety at Work) (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2010
Regulations 2 to 4 of these Regulations make minor drafting amendments to the Merchant Shipping and Fishing Vessels (Control of Noise at Work) Regulations 2007, the Merchant Shipping and Fishing Vessels (Control of Vibration at Work) Regulations 2007 and the Merchant Shipping and Fishing Vessels (Health and Safety at Work) (Carcinogens and Mutagens) Regulations 2007. The amendments clarify that those Regulations apply to hovercraft as they do to ships, and that any reference in those Regulations to the master of a ship means, in the case of a hovercraft, the captain of that hovercraft. Putting express provisions to this effect into these Regulations brings them into line with other Regulations relating to health and safety issues on merchant ships and fishing vessels.
