USL&H – Chemical Exposures for Shipbuilders
It takes a lot of materials and work to build a ship! While workers in the shipbuilding industry work to build, repair, and maintain boats and ship, they might come into contact with a wide array of chemicals and the other substances, such as:
- Gasoline
- Oil
- Welding fumes
- Paints and solvents
- Cleaning fluids
While contact with substances like these is often harmless, high or long-term exposure can lead to many different types of injuries and illness. For shipbuilding industry workers, some exposure may be minor, like eye irritation. However, chemical exposure can also lead to serious health issues, including breathing problems, chemical burns, and an increased risk of respiratory issues, immune system issues, and certain cancers. Intense exposure can also lead to death.
