Understanding the Role of an Occupier in a Shipping Company: Who Holds the Responsibility?

Who is an occupier in a shipping company?

An occupier in a shipping company is typically someone who has control over the premises or the activities carried out on those premises. This could include individuals such as the owner of the shipping company, the manager of the facility, or any other person who has the authority to make decisions regarding the operations within the company. The occupier is responsible for ensuring the safety and well-being of employees, visitors, and any other individuals present on the premises. It is important for the occupier to adhere to relevant health and safety regulations to create a secure working environment within the shipping company.
