Proving Your Seaman Case With a Breach of Regulation

One way for Seaman to win their Jones Act case is by proving your employer breached a regulation.

To prevail on this theory a Seaman must show:

1. A regulatory violation,
2. Membership in the class of intended beneficiaries,
3. An injury of the type the regulation at issue seeks to prevent,
4. Absence of excuse for the violation, and
5. Causation.



Regulation of Workplace Safety on Deck Barges

For construction barges underway and other "uninspected vessels," the U.S. Coast Guard oversees fire and lifesaving equipment and overall navigational matters.

Regulations for uninspected vessels are found in the Code of Federal Regulations, 46 CFR Part 25:

• Life Preservers and Other Lifesaving Equipment [46 CFR 25.25]
• Fire Extinguishing Equipment [46 CFR 25.30]
• Backfire Flame Control [46 CFR 25.35]
• Ventilation [46 CFR 25.40]

The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) exercises its authority to regulate employers for all working conditions not covered by U.S. Coast Guard regulations on these vessels, provided that the vessel is in the geographic jurisdiction of OSHA.

OSHA regulations that apply are in 29 CFR Part 1910, with the following exceptions:


• For ship repair, shipbuilding, and shipbreaking, 29 CFR Part 1915 standards apply.
• For longshoring and cargo handling operations, 29 CFR Parts 1918 and 1919 standards apply.
• For marine construction activities, 29 CFR Part 1926 standards apply.
