Port employers, port authorities who carry out the function of a port employer and any other person that employs workers on a permanent or temporary basis has a duty of responsibility to provide and maintain the workplace, plant and equipment they own, control or operate in a safe condition.

All persons working within a port must have a clear understanding of the Health & Safety legislation and requirements and ensure they are followed at all times.
