Ship repair activities are some of the most hazardous shipyard operations. Ship repair includes altering, converting, installing, cleaning, painting, and
maintaining, and may be conducted at shipyard facilities or at other locations on the navigable waters of the United States or its territories. Hazards include exposure to
toxic substances, hazardous atmospheres, electrocution, falls, fires, and explosions. These hazards can be eliminated or minimized through use of an effective safety and health program.
