    Lagos — In commemoration of the 2023 World Safety Day, the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA organized a safety workshop with the theme “Zero offshore incidents, a culture of prevention.

    This is in line with the International Labour Organization, ILO declared theme of “A safe and healthy working environment as a fundamental principle and right at work”.

    The Director General of NIMASA, Dr. Bashir Jamoh, OFR who declared the workshop open noted that NIMASA with responsibilities of Flag and Port State activities, which often take place offshore, is committed to the wellbeing of its staff.

    “As a regulator of safety in the maritime sector, the Agency is obligated to ensure not only the safety of those who work in the wider maritime sector but also the safety of its staff. Safety, like charity, should begin at home and we are committed to achieving safety standards acceptable globally “he said.

    The DG who was represented by the Head of, the Maritime Safety and Seafarers Standards Department of the Agency, Mr. Taiwo Olaniyan stated further that the theme of this year’s World Safety Day provokes a response from every economic sector to ask the question of how to practically and rightly implement the workers right to safety at the workplace.

    The presentation on Zero Offshore Incidents, a Culture of Prevention” organized for the Agency’s Enforcement team highlighted the responsibilities of both workers and employers in attaining a healthy and safe work environment to achieve zero incidents, particularly during offshore operations.

    In June 2022, the International Labour Conference (ILC) included “a safe and healthy working environment” in the ILO’s framework of fundamental principles and rights at work. This global social milestone elevates the prevention of ill health, injuries, and harm to the environment from codes of practice to an international human right.
