Do “independent contractors” or part time crewmembers need to be part of a marine employers chemical testing program?
Again, the answer is “yes”. If an individual meets the definition of a crewmember, as described in 46CFRI6.105, they must be part of the chemical-testing program, regardless of how short the time period they work on board the vessel. Enclosure 6 has been included in this guide in order to assist with the problem of having part time crewmembers in the chemical-testing program.
