The National Shipbuilding Research Program, 1991 Ship Production Symposium Proceedings: Paper No. IXB-3: A Summary Report: A Survey of the Principal Elements of Safety Programs at Nine American Shipyards
Abstract
The Survey, which is the subject of National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) Publication #0318 and of this paper, was sponsored by Panel SP-5, Human Resource Innovation. It was designed to collect a significant amount of detailed information concerning the principal elements of safety programs currently in effect in major American shipyards so as to: identify the core elements common to all or most of such safety programs: identify the managerial philosophies that underlie such programs: - provide base line information so that participating yards and others in the industry can make comparisons and evaluations of their own safety programs; and - bring about an awareness throughout the industry of new initiatives that have been tried and found successful in one or another shipyard and an awareness of experiments which are taking place with new and/or changed technologies designed to have a positive influence on safety program goals. The ultimate objective of the project is to prevent occupational injuries and illnesses and thereby avoid their costs, including medical, workers compensation and lost production costs.
