Shipyard Safety & Internal Audits

 

Data and studies show that effective management of shipyard safety and personnel health can substantially reduce employee fatalities, injuries, and illnesses and the costs associated with them. In response, many states have regulations and guidelines on workplace safety, health & environmental programs or management systems.

 

To this extent, every shipyard should identify the hazards that can arise during the yard’s activities and implement effectively such programs regardless of the size of the workplace or the number of hazards, in order to manage workplace safety and protect personnel health and the environment.

Learn about the main shipyard hazards and protective measures, acquire the skills on how to effectively conduct shipyard internal audits or inspections and train your company’s auditors on key safety requirements with our Shipyard Safety & Internal Audits course.
