Science-led health, hazardous materials and environmental solutions for maritime operations

Maritime operations present complex occupational health, safety and environmental risks.

Workers may be exposed to hazardous substances, confined spaces, noise, vibration, airborne contaminants and legacy hazardous materials, often within dynamic and highly regulated environments. Effective risk management is essential to protecting workers, maintaining compliance and supporting safe, efficient maritime operations.

RED OHMS Group partners with port authorities, terminal operators, ship owners, contractors and marine service providers to deliver practical, science-based solutions that manage health, hazardous materials and environmental risks across maritime settings. Our multidisciplinary expertise supports clients operating in coastal, port and offshore environments where safety, compliance and operational continuity are critical.

Maritime Challenges We Address

Maritime environments introduce a distinct combination of physical, chemical and environmental hazards, including:

Enclosed holds, tanks, engine rooms and vessels can present low oxygen atmospheres and exposure to fumes, vapours and gases requiring specialised assessment and monitoring.

Vessel engines, machinery, cargo handling and port operations generate significant noise and vibration that can impact crew health and long-term hearing outcomes.

Legacy asbestos, lead-based coatings, fuels, oils and chemicals are commonly encountered during ship maintenance, refits and demolition activities.

Diesel exhaust, welding fumes and other combustion by-products require monitoring to protect workers and manage environmental impacts.

Maritime operations are subject to strict environmental controls relating to water quality, sediment disturbance, waste handling and air emissions.

Weather conditions, tidal influences and mobile workforces require adaptable, site-specific risk management approaches.
