Naval ships provide a unique opportunity to study a well-defined population, and one in which many confounders that affect community or occupational studies (e.g., lifestyle factors thought to affect reproductive health such as alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking) can be documented. As such, the Navy is well suited to conduct surveillance, record linkage, and etiological studies. 

A resource planning information and communication (ICT) system handles orders and communicates with customer companies. HSEQ issues of the supplying companies are communicated daily but not necessarily documented.

Developing and planning is seen as part of every staff member s job however, managers and foremen in particular should observe how the level of safety and efiiciency in the workplace can be continuously improved.
