Ensuring the safe use of antifouling paints in a DIY / boat-owner scenario continues to be a major focus for antifouling paint manufacturers.

Manufacturers are keen to understand the existing awareness of the hazards of antifouling paint, as well as the use of personal protective equipment and measures taken to prevent release of the paint during application and use.

Can you help secure their continued use by DIY applicators by completing the short survey available by scanning the QR code below.

We are also asking marinas, boatyards and chandlers to display this QR code and encourage customers to complete the survey.

The survey will close in August with final responses being fed through to the health and safety executive later in the year.

British Marine represents members in the area and further advice and guidance can be obtained by emailing technical@britishmarine.co.uk
