SAIL SAFE

SailSafe offers access to a comprehensive set of safety-training programs and guidelines that are available free to shipyards, traditional sail organizations and sailors involved with traditional vessels undergoing annual maintenance and refits. We seek to help mariners-turned-shipyard workers work safer and be more aware of risks while doing the critical work of maintaining traditional vessels... SailSafe's mission is to offer safety-awareness programs at no cost to Traditional Rig sailors who may be unfamiliar with shipyard and ship repair risks; to advance the careers of Traditional Rig sailors with education and certification; and to improve the reputation and safety record of the traditional sail vessel industry... The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)'s Shipyard Workplace Safety Regulations (29-CFR-1915) are often little known to traditional vessel crews, many of whom are not subject to OSHA regulation.
