Virtual PMSC Duty Holder Awareness Webinar Monday 27th September 2021
We have organised a Virtual PMSC Duty Holder Awareness Webinar training session. The workshop will be taking place online.
The virtual training webinar is an opportunity for Duty Holders such as board members to familiarise themselves with the principles of the Port Marine Safety Code and its Guide to Good Practice. The awareness training will provide attendees with an overview of the Code and its guiding principles, including legislative duties and powers, key organisations appointments such as the Designated Person, and the expectation that Duty Holders will publish a safety plan for marine operations. This training will be delivered online with the connection link emailed to you.
The webinars are free for BPA members and there is no limit on how many duty holders from a single port can attend a seminar. For non BPA members, it will cost £30 +VAT to attend.
