New and Old Maritime Industries:

Future occupational health challenges

27th – 29th of September 2022
Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, Bergen, Norway

As traditional maritime industries evolve and newer industries become more established, what does the future hold? This course will look at the current occupational health practices across the sectors of the maritime industry – what is best practice, and what is lacking in regulation and application?

From the more established merchant shipping and offshore petroleum industry to the diverse fishing sector and in the newer areas of wind farms and fish agriculture – what are the current issues, what can we learn from each other, how can we cooperate and what challenges will the future bring?

Main topics:

* The worker
* Regulation
* Exposure
* Climate

Key to the course is identifying areas of common interest between the different sectors of the maritime industry, exploring lessons learnt that can be shared between sectors and looking for ways that we can cooperate moving forward.
