Overview

IMO is in the process of carrying out a major revision of the regulations governing Life Saving Appliances contained Chapter of the Safety of Life at Sea Convention. The current regulations are almost without exception prescriptive regulations developed in response to the proven or perceived causes of previous incidents or accidents.

The Revision takes into account the Guidelines for developing IMO goal-based regulations, adopted by IMO for the development of Instruments using a risk-based approach.

The talk will illustrate the difference between prescriptive regulations and goal-based regulations and include a description of how an acceptable level of risk to seafarers in the operation of life-saving equipment is established.
