The SAASR strives to set out procedures and regulations within the ship building and repair industry that foster good safety attitudes and practices and a healthy working environment. All activities performed on, or in, a ship – either afloat, in floating dock, graving dock, or slipway – are subject to the South African Merchant Shipping Act 57 of 1951 and the Maritime Occupational Safety Regulations of 1994.
