Maritime radiation protection and seamen's safety

Abstract Maritime laws rarely address radiation emergency medical management. According to the International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea – SOLAS, this area is not defined. Various countries have various government bodies in charge of maritime affairs. They adopt or implement into their legal system various laws and ordinances in conformity with international regulations and corresponding recommendations. This paper analyses training programmes for radiation emergency procedures and medical assistance on board ships. Deficiencies are presented and further development is proposed, in order to improve the safety of human life on board ships with regard to protection, first aid and medical care.
