FAQs

These audits should be conducted at least semi-annually, with ongoing monitoring of key indicators such as sick leave rates, accident reports, and crew feedback.

Key areas include crew accommodation standards, nutritional quality of crew meals, mental health support services, recreational facilities, work hours and rest periods, occupational safety measures, and career development opportunities.

These audits are typically conducted by human resources managers, occupational health specialists, safety officers, and sometimes third-party auditors specializing in maritime labor standards.

Regular audits help cruise lines maintain a healthy, motivated workforce, reduce accidents and illness-related absences, improve crew retention, and ensure compliance with international labor regulations.

Identified issues should be documented, prioritized based on severity, and addressed through policy changes, facility improvements, or enhanced support services. Follow-up assessments should be conducted to ensure the effectiveness of implemented solutions.
