Rules and Instructions for health and safety
Safety alert: Working over water - Lloyd's Register's Golden Rules and Instructions for health and safety Applicabilty: Owners, operators, shipyard managers and site controllers
The Lloyd's Register Group has published a set of Health and Safety Golden Rules which our employees must follow to keep themselves, and those people around them, safe.

We believe through managing the risks and following these controls, the work environment will be a safer place for everyone.
