• Description:
  A pre-intervention quantitative risk factor analysis was performed at various shops and locations within Halter Marine, Inc. Moss Point Shipyard as a method to identify and quantify risk factors that workers may be exposed to in the course of their normal work duties. This survey was conducted as part of a larger project, funded through Maritech Advanced Shipbuilding Enterprise and the U.S. Navy, to develop projects to enhance the commercial viability of domestic shipyards. Two operations were identified for further analysis: the gator bar worker in the steelyard and the shear press operation. The application of exposure assessment techniques provided a quantitative analysis of the risk factors associated with the individual tasks. Possible engineering interventions to address these risk factors for each task are briefly discussed.
