| Abstract |
The accident statistics for all ports in India from 1968 to 1974 reproduced in this pamphlet indicate that about 75% of accidents are due to 4 factors: handling of cargo, falling objects, handling of articles other than cargo, and stepping on or striking against objects; over this period, the accident rate in Indian ports was reduced by almost 60%. Of the 16 papers read at the seminar, 13 abstracts (mostly quite exhaustive) of those on the following subjects are given: adequacy of port facilities for modern cargo handling; multipurpose carriers; training; employer-employee relationships; the government's role in accident prevention; incentives and dock safety; work in confined spaces and tank cleaning; modernisation of port facilities in India; safety in dry docks; chipping and painting operations; cargo handling appliances. |
