Description:A pre-intervention quantitative risk factor analysis was performed at various shops and locations within Continental Maritime of San Diego, Inc. shipyard in San Diego, California, as a method to identify and quantify ergonomic risk factors that workers may be exposed to in the course of their normal work duties. Based on ergonomic task analyses, four ergonomic interventions were suggested for implementation at Continental Maritime: 1) upright scaling, chipping, and needle gun tools for the deck scraping process, 2) wheeled, adjustable work stools and knee supports for the deck scraping process and for other workers performing prolonged kneeling or squatting tasks, 3) portable workbenches for the duct installation process, and 4) worker awareness training for welders/ grinders working overhead or in confined spaces (such as onboard deck fitting and pipe welding processes). Of these interventions, it was anticipated that the upright scaling, chipping, and needle gun tools and portable workbenches may have significant impact on reducing musculoskeletal injuries. This report chronicles the associated actions based on these suggestions.
