The National Shipbuilding Research Program, 1990 Ship Production Symposium, Paper No. 1B-2: Managing the Environmental/Health/Safety Risks at a Major Shipyard

Abstract

The cyople%%ity of shipyard operanrons, in cornhination vith the diverse and nurnerous harardous materials used in manufacturing and repair, present unique environmental, health and safety challenges. One shipyard has taken a proactive approach to harard identification, assessment and control in order to effectively manage these risks. This included a major risk screening, consequence modeling of the scenario developed and the generation of practical risk control options.
