Articles on Regulations

Who actually needs to take ASH training on board?

Verneombud (safety representatives), AMU (working environment committee) members and those responsible in the shipping company's shore organisation must have at least 40 hours of safety and environmental training under ASH-forskriften § 5-14, regardless of whether the ship currently has a safety representative. Everyone else on board is entitled to training suited to their own tasks under § 2-6, but not necessarily 40 hours.
