CHAPTER 4
SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
4-1
INTRODUCTION. Diverse types of work are performed at the
waterfront during maintenance and repair of facilities. Much of this work contains
elements hazardous to personnel, equipment, and property, as well as to the
environment. The purpose of this chapter is to familiarize the reader with the
areas of safety and environment that must be addressed during the planning and
execution of waterfront maintenance or repair projects.
This section is divided into two topics: Occupational Safety and
Environmental Compliance. Responsibility for safety and environmental
compliance lies with each individual during each phase of a maintenance and
repair project. However, all safety and environmental issues must be considered
during the planning stage and be adequately relayed to the work site employees
through training and consultation by the appropriate work supervisor.
There are many references to safety and environmental compliance
that can be applied to waterfront construction and operations. Several primary
military references are:
