Shipyards and ship dismantling
Hot work, enclosed spaces and multilingual crews, covered at the point of work.
Subtilitas started in a shipyard. Its first guide was an oxy cutter check written for ship dismantling crews in a research project, who needed short, clear steps at the place the work happened rather than in a classroom.
01 Where it helps
Where it helps in the yard
Hot work
Oxy-fuel set-up, cutting and fire watch steps with a short video of each one.
Enclosed spaces
Permit steps at the hatch, including gas testing, the attendant's checks and the rescue set-up.
Multilingual crews
Write guides in the languages your crew reads, so nothing gets lost between the supervisor and the crew.
Subcontractors mid-project
New trades joining the vessel follow your procedures from the first shift, and you have the record.
