Key Finding
A 1987 OSHA establishment inspection and linked official OSHA Chemical Exposure Health Data rows are recorded as administrative inspection and sampling evidence. Where OSHA identifies a bulk sample, the entry is labeled as a bulk result; it does not establish individual exposure, dose, historical conditions across the yard, product source, medical causation, or liability. The profile also links NIOSH HHE 87-0105-1789 and HHE 89-0273-2000.
Evidence Summary
Bath Iron Works has 7 verified evidence records — the most evidence-dense Tier 2 entry in the dataset. Records span 1942 to 2016, covering WWII construction through modern litigation. BIW is the only active shipyard in the dataset, currently operated by General Dynamics for DDG-51 destroyer construction.
Additional evidence includes Austin v. Raybestos-Manhattan (1984), Shorette v. Bath Iron Works (BRB 1996), Grant v. Foster Wheeler (2016 ME 85), and NARA Record Group 19 vessel specification books.
