USL&H Industry – Chemical Exposure for Commercial Boating
On the water, commercial boating workers face many natural dangers—but they are also at risk of exposure to dangerous chemicals on their own vessel. Commercial fishing vessels use a variety of substances and chemicals, such as:
- Gasoline
- Oil
- Cleaning fluids
- Engine fluids
- Benzene
- Hydrogen sulfide
- Toxic metals
When commercial boating workers are exposed to harmful substances like these, they can experience a wide range of injuries, from minor eye irritation to serious chemical burns. Their environment also puts them at a higher risk of respiratory issues, immune system issues, and certain cancers. Intense exposure can also lead to death.
