Risk Assessment & Disaster Management Plan for International Shipbuilding and Repair Complex

Risk assessment provides a structured basis for identifying hazards and to ensure that all risks which have been are reduced to an appropriate level in a effective and efficient manner. The project lists down the various risks involved in building a new Shipbuilding and Repair Complex and the ways and means with which risks can be reduced to an acceptable level. Health Safety & Environmental aspects become a major factor of importance for evaluation of Shipyards by design firms and ship owners for deciding to award their vessels for building or repairs. New developments in safety systems of shipyards today is the requirement to not only deal with safety problems but also to address, at an early stage, the risks, their importance, their severity, frequency of occurrence, impact on the environment etc. and take the appropriate steps to reduce or eliminate them through a Risk Assessment System. Based on risk assessment conducted, Disaster Management Plan has been framed for the construction and operation phase of the project. This disaster management plan will set out procedures and plans to be adopted in the event of emergency, loss of containment and consequence thereof in the proposed new complex.
