Welcome to the area dedicated to issues that apply to your industry sector. Here you will also find general health and safety guidance in the 'A-Z'.  This information is relevant to all industry groups regardless of activity.  From here you can also access our 'Ask the Expert Facility'.

Not only will you have employees to take care of but members of the public who frequent your premises making use of your services as well as contractors and visitors.

The aim of this section is to reduce injuries and ill health by improving attendees:

• Understanding of the legal framework within aquaculture;
• Recognition of industry good practice;
• Understanding of the principles of risk assessment methods deployed in aquaculture.

Fish farming continues to be high risk work in remote, geographically isolated and climatically harsh locations, predominantly in Scotland. The major causation of fatalities is drowning.  The fish farming industry is a significant employer and contributor to the Scottish economy.

Together with the A-Z we hope to guide you throught the Health and Safety Red Tape.
