Marine Engineering
Even with modern mechanized materials handling equipment, the worker (the truck operator, the forklift operator, the warehouse worker, etc.) is an integral part of the materials handling process. A combination of safe equipment and workers following recognized safe work practices are important issues in the prevention of accidents in the materials handling industry. In addition to shipboard safety and health issues, we are experienced with safety and health hazard accident investigations for shipyard employment (including ship repairing, shipbuilding, and ship breaking), marine terminals, and longshoring.
Through the program, individuals who complete a one-week OSHA maritime trainer course are authorized to teach 10-hour or 30-hour safety and health hazard recognition and prevention classes in shipyard employment (including ship repairing, shipbuilding, and ship breaking), marine terminals, and longshoring. Safety and health issues related to the maritime industry include:
-
Universal precautions
-
Materials handling
-
Exposure plans
-
Spills and decontamination
-
Hazard communications /hazardous materials
-
Lockout /tagout
-
Respiratory protection
-
Hot work -- welding, burning and cutting
-
Machine guarding
-
Fall protection
-
Electrical Confined and enclosed spaces
-
Fire protection
-
Ergonomics and proper lifting techniques - repetitive motion and muscle strains
