PrefaceThe ILO Code of practice on safety and health in shipbuilding and ship repair was adopted by a Meeting of Expertsheld in Geneva from 22 to 26 January 2018, in accordance witha Governing Body decision at its 329th Session (March 2017).The meeting was attended by 22 experts and their advisers eight experts nominated by the Governments of Brazil, China,Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Nigeria, Philippines andSingapore; eight nominated by the Employers’ group of theGoverning Body; and six nominated by the Workers’ groupof the Governing Body. Expert observers from other governments, and observers from intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, also attended the meeting.This code of practice replaces an earlier code that wasadopted in 1973 and was considered outdated, in view of technological and other developments that have taken place sincethen.The good spirit of cooperation among all participants pavedthe way for developing consensus on a new, comprehensive andpractical code that will help to raise the profile of safety andhealth issues in shipbuilding and ship repair in all parts of theworld, and contribute to the health, morale and well-being ofworkers in the industry.The text of the code was approved for publication by theGoverning Body of the ILO at its 334th Session (October–November 2018).Alette van LeurDirectorSectoral Policies DepartmentvContents
Sectoral codes of practiceILO Sectoral codes of practice are reference tools setting outprinciples that can be reflected in the design and implementation of policies, strategies, programmes, legislation, administrative measures and social dialogue mechanisms in particulareconomic sectors or clusters of sectors. Sectoral codes of practiceare adopted by Meetings of Experts comprising governments,employers and workers. They can be implemented progressivelyto take into account different national settings, cultures, andsocial, economic, environmental and political contexts.Sectoral codes of practice draw their principles from theILO’s international labour standards (Conventions andRecommendations) and other sources, including Declarations,codes of conduct and other policy guidance adopted and endorsedby the International Labour Conference or the ILO GoverningBody. They also draw on other international agreements andpolicy in the sector concerned, as well as on relevant trends anddevelopments in regional and national law and practice.Sectoral codes of practice focus on the issues that are priorities for governments, employers and workers, and that areunique to particular economic sectors and industries. Whileinternational labour standards normally deal with more generalprinciples of labour law and practice, Sectoral codes of practicespecify the principles and processes that could be implementedto promote decent work in particular workplaces or contexts.They benefit from the expertise of practitioners in the relevantsectors to capture good industry practices and innovations.Sectoral codes of practice are not legally binding. They are notsubject to ratification or supervisory mechanisms establishedviiContents
Safety and health in shipbuilding and ship repairunder the ILO’s international labour standards. Sectoral codesof practice can therefore be aspirational in scope and expandon principles laid down in international labour standards andother international agreements and policy, all the while recognizing that they can be adapted to different national systemsand circumstances. As such, ILO standards and other tools orguidance adopted and endorsed by the International LabourConference and/or the Governing Body form the foundationon which Sectoral codes of practice build further. It is therefore understood that Sectoral codes of practice are based on thefull principles, rights, and obligations set out in internationallabour standards, and nothing set out in these codes of practiceshould be understood as lowering such standards.viiiContents
