U.S. ports are significant to the U.S. economy, handling more than 2 billion tons of domestic & import/export cargo annually. Since Sept. 11, 2001, much of the national focus on ports¿ preparedness has been on preventing potential acts of terror, but the 2005 hurricane season renewed focus on how to protect ports from a diversity of threats, including natural disasters. This report examines: (1) challenges port authorities have experienced as a result of recent natural disasters; (2) efforts under way to address these challenges; & (3) the manner in which port authorities plan for natural disasters. The author reviewed documents & interviewed various port stakeholders from 17 major U.S. ports. Includes recommendations. Charts & tables.

Port work is still considered an occupation with very high accident rates. This essential code of practice, intended to replace both the second edition of the ILO Code of Practice on Safety and Health in Dock Work (1977) and the ILO Guide to Safety and Health in Dock Work (1976), provides valuable advice and assistance to all those charged with the management, operation, maintenance and development of ports and their safety. Offering many detailed technical illustrations and examples of good practice, the provisions of this code cover all aspects of port work where goods or passengers are loaded or unloaded to or from ships. It is not limited to international trade but applies equally to domestic operations, including those on inland waterways. New topics are: traffic and vehicular movements of all types; activities on shore and on ship; amended levels of lighting provision; personal protective equipment; ergonomics; provisions for disabled persons; and the specific handling of certain cargoes, for example logs, scrap metal and dangerous goods.
