Summary/Abstract: The article commemorates the 40th anniversary of issue and entry into force of the ordinance of the Minister of Foreign Trade and Shipping on safety and hygiene of work at the sea-going merchant vessels of June 25, 1979. This act, yet to be ever amended, is an example of the complete and competent legislation, as well as arouses appreciation by its illustrious embrace of legal, technical and organizational sides of safety and hygiene of work at a sea-going vessel. Abstracting from the law on work at sea of August 5, 2015, the author discusses also the competences of a shipmaster in the sphere of occupational safety that are present in other sources of universally binding law.
