Objective:
This project developed a product to assist the shipbuilding and ship repair industry in reducing injuries and associated hazards resulting from contact with objects or equipment through analysis of industry best practices. The team conducted analyses of injuries and fatalities from various sources and identified the “struck” hazards to determine the mechanisms associated with these injuries. The data obtained should help shipyards focus limited resources on preventing the injuries that are most prevalent in the industry.
Key Deliverables:
