101 First Aid/Safety Fundamentals Flashcards
Discuss the concept of ORM.
A systematic, decision-making process used to identify and manage hazards that endanger naval resources.
Steps of ORM
(IAMIS) Identifying Hazards Assessing Hazards Making Risk Decisions Implementing Controls Supervising
State the instruction that governs safety and mishap reporting.
OPNAVINST 5102.1D
Define Hazard Severity
An assessment of the worst credible consequence that can occur as a result of a hazard
4 Categories of Hazard Severity
CAT I: Loss of the ability to accomplish the mission
CAT II: Significantly degraded mission capability or unit readiness
CAT III: Degraded mission capability or unit readiness
CAT IV: Little or no adverse impact on mission capability or unit readiness
Define Mishap Probability
Probability that a hazard will result in a mishap or loss
4 Categories of Mishap Probability
CAT I: Likely to occur, immediately or within a short period of time
CAT II: Probably will occur in time
CAT III: May occur in time
CAT IV: Unlikely to occur, but not impossible
Define RAC
Risk Assessment Code, expression of risk that combines the elements of hazard severity and mishap probability
5 RACs
- Critical
- Serious
- Moderate
- Minor
- Negligible
Timeliness and Means for filing mishap reports
30 days
Required mishap reportable items
- Class A, B, and C government property damage mishaps
- Class A, B and C on-duty DoD civilian mishaps and military on/off duty mishaps
- Any other work related illness or injury
- Other incidents of interest
Purpose of a HAZREP message
A hazard is an unsafe act or condition, such as a flaw in established work procedures; training deficiency, or the design, manufacture, or use of a piece of equipment with the potential to cause injury or damage
State the 3 objectives of First Aid
- Save Life
- Prevent Further Injury
- Prevent Infection
11 Pressure Points
- Jaw
- Temple
- Collarbone
- Neck
- Inner upper arm
- Inner elbow
- Wrist
- Upper thigh
- Groin
- Knee
- Ankle
Symptoms/Treatment for shock
- weak, rapid pulse
- shallow breathing
- surface temperature is lowered
- noticeable sweating
- usually pale
Open Fracture vs. Closed Fracture
Open “compound” - open wound in the tissue or skin
Closed “simple” - entirely internal
Procedures necessary for electrical shock
Personnel rescue- remove individual from source of shock with a non-conducting object, try to turn off source of electricity
Treatment- administer artificial ventilation immediately, check pulse, administer CPR if no pulse
Methods for clearing an obstructed airway
- clear mouth of object
- Heimlich maneuver
- reclining abdominal thrusts
Hypothermia
General cooling of the whole body caused by exposure to low or rapidly falling temperature, cold moisture, snow or ice
Frostbite
Superficial; ice crystals forming in the upper skin layers after exposure to a temperature of 32F or lower
Deep frostbite: Ice crystals forming in the deeper tissues after exposure of 32 degrees or lower
Heat Stress
General name for several medical conditions such as heat exhaustion, heat cramps, and heat stroke
Heat Exhaustion
Bodys response to excessive loss of water and salt
Heat Stroke
Most serious heat-related disorder. Occurs when the body becomes unable to control its temperature
HERO
HERP
HERF
Hazardous electromagnetic radiation to ordinance
Hazardous electromagnetic radiation to personnel
Hazardous electromagnetic radiation to fuels
Define HAZMAT
Hazardous Materials, any material that may pose substantial hazard to human health or the environment when purposefully released or accidentally spilled
Flammable HAZMAT
Stow in approved flammable storerooms or NAVSEA approved flammable storage lockers
Poison HAZMAT
Stow all toxic materials in cool, dry, well-ventilated spaces with acids, caustics, and oxidizers separated
Corrosive HAZMAT
Stow corrosive materials in their original containers in an approved designated chest/locker. Ensure they are cushioned against shock
Oxidizers HAZMAT
Stow oxidizers in cool spaces where max temp doesn’t exceed 100 degrees Farenheit
Marine Pollutant HAZMAT
Stow marine pollutants below deck or on the weather deck if equivalent protection from release to the environment is provided
Potential risk of improperly labeled HAZMAT
Fire or explosion can result in millions of dollars in damage, or claim workers’ lives
What is an MSDS
Material Safety Data Sheet, form with data regarding the properties of a particular substance
Types of PPE
Respirators Hand Protection Foot Protection Eye Protection Face Protection Skin/Body Protection Hearing Protection
Goal of the U.S. Navy’s Hearing Conservation Program
To prevent occupational noise-related hearing loss among Navy personnel
