Description:

A pre-intervention quantitative risk factor analysis was performed at various shops and locations at Bath Iron Works shipyard in Bath, Maine to identify and quantify risk factors that workers may be exposed to in the course of their normal work duties. Several operations were identified for further analysis including: unloading of small parts for subassembly, connecting electrical cables at a junction box, pulling cable through the vessel, equipment load-in, insulation installation, welding, and grinding. Possible engineering interventions to address the occupational risk factors for each task were examined in a previous report. Actions taken on those interventions are presented in this report.
