Stevedoring safety promoted by new code
A code of practice has been published by Safe Work Australia to assist in risk management for stevedoring.
Model Code of Practice: Managing risks in stevedoring offers practical guidance to ensure that requisite health and safety standards are achieved under the model work health and safety (WHS) laws.
Activities included in the code include loading and unloading vessel cargo, stacking and storing on the wharf, and receiving and delivering cargo within a terminal or facility.
The model code should be read in conjunction with the model WHS laws and other relevant legislation such as Marine Orders. It applies to all workplaces where stevedoring operations are carried out.
More information about stevedoring is available on the Safe Work Australia website.
