Description:A pre-intervention quantitative risk factor analysis was performed at various shops and locations within Halter Marine, Inc. Moss Point Shipyard, to identify and quantify ergonomic risk factors that workers may be exposed to in the course of their normal work duties. The application of exposure assessment techniques provided a quantitative analysis of the risk factors associated with the individual tasks. Based on these analyses and a review of safety management practices, three ergonomic interventions were suggested for the Halter Marine Shipyard:1) a computerized injury tracking system for use in the Halter safety, workers compensation, and administrative departments, 2) a shear press lift table for the east side fabrication shop, and 3) a gator bar tool re-design for the angle iron positioning process in the steelyard. This report documents the actions associated with the intervention suggestions.
