The National Shipbuilding Research Program. Application of Industrial Engineering Techniques to Reduce Worker's Compensation and Environmental Costs - Deliverable A
Abstract
The Safety Process Improvement Team's basic philosophy in developing the project approach was to develop a pilot process and methodology for managing a shipyard safety program which would apply to any shipyard. Thus, the project approach suggested in the abstract and in NASSGO's original project proposal was reevaluated against that criterion. The project team felt that the abstract approach to the project would generate a one time benefit without establishing a lasting process for successfully managing shipyard safety programs. Based on that premise, a different approach was taken to accomplishing the project objectives. The basic premise of the project approach was that the hourly production workers had to be intimately involved in order for any safety program to be successful. Two primary methods of hourly employee involvement were selected for pilot approaches to managing safety.
