In addition to posing a serious risk to the environment, shipbreaking is also associated with high levels of fatalities, injuries and diseases. Risks include dealing with residual oil and handling heavy steel sections. In addition, an average size ship contains up to 7 tonnes of asbestos, which is often sold on to local communities. In spite of continued international efforts to promote cleaner, safer and healthier workplaces in this sector, shipbreaking is still regarded as one of the most dangerous activities (International Labour Organization, 2009).
