Work scheduling and work location control in precarious and 'permanent' employment

Helen Devereux et al.

Summary: This article examines the connection between precarious employment and seafarers' control over their work schedules and locations, highlighting the impact on their occupational health and safety. Precariously employed seafarers experience uncertainties related to their work duties and locations, leading to increased risks in an already dangerous industry. The lack of commitment from shipping companies means that seafarers' protection against these risks ultimately depends on the discretion of the captain on board.
