Workers’ Compensation quotes for the Marine Industry
Fires in shipyards and storms at sea are among the more dramatic hazards faced by workers in the marine industry, but smaller accidents and injuries at fresh-water marinas and in the tour-boat sector make the Marine Industry one of the most injury prone. According to OSHA, the injury and accident rate of shipyards is more than twice that of construction and the general industry, for example.
Hazards include:
- Falls from platforms
- Exposure to toxins
- Vehicular accidents
- Electrical shocks
- Neck and back injuries from improper body position
- Burns from welding equipment
To minimize incidents, OSHA and the shipyard community have jointly developed Safety and Health Injury Prevention Sheets (SHIPS). Among other things, these tools include changes to work station layout, implementing a worker stretching program to improve flexibility, and providing training in proper body positioning.
Spiris works with many companies in the maritime industry to develop and implement targeted risk-reduction plans and techniques, thereby reducing the likelihood of injuries and lowering workers compensation premiums.
