Maritime Health and Wellness Certification Standards
-
U.S. Standards
- OSHA General Duty Clause – OSHA Act of 1970 requires that, in addition to alignment with hazard-specific standards, all employers provide a work environment “free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm.”

- General Duty of Employer, s. 124 – “Every employer shall ensure that the health and safety at work of every person employed by the employer is protected.”
Train the Trainer Certification
The Train the Trainer option is used to certify a trainer to teach others using the included training kit. It incorporates the online course with an additional train the trainer module, as well as the training kit. This option results in an regulation-aligned lifetime trainer certification from Hard Hat Training. This certification is not company-specific, meaning you can take it with you should you change employers.
Why Do I Need Maritime Health and Wellness Safety Training?
While OSHA doesn’t have a specific standard for maritime health and wellness, under the General Duty Clause, Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) of 1970, employers are required to provide a workplace that “is free from recognizable hazards that are causing or likely to cause death or serious harm to employees.”
This means employers have a legal and ethical obligation to promote a work environment that is free from any physical and mental illnesses that could be easily prevented. You and your coworkers have the right to work in an atmosphere that promotes the safety, equality, and well-being of all.
