The Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) of 2006, Regulation 3.2 specifically outlines requirements for training related to food catering on ships. This regulation ensures that seafarers working in the catering department of a ship receive adequate training in various aspects to maintain a high standard of food safety, personal hygiene, environmental protection, and health and safety.
Adherence to these training requirements is crucial for maintaining the well-being of both the crew members and the passengers on board. It also ensures compliance with international regulations, such as the MLC 2006, to create a safe and healthy working environment in the maritime industry. Ship operators and crew members need to stay updated on such regulations and undergo regular training to enhance their skills and knowledge in these areas.
