101 - Safety Flashcards
ORM
Operational Risk Managment
ORM Instruction
OPNAVIST 3500.39C
Concept of ORM
To minimize risks to acceptable levels, proportionate to mission accomplishment
What is ORM
A decision making tool used to make informed decisions in order to reduce risks and mishaps
Goal of ORM
To manage risks so that the mission can be completed with the minimum amount of loss
Benefit of ORM
applying ORM can reduce mishaps, lower injury & property damage and provide for more effective use of resources and improve mission readiness
How does ORM work
ORM is a closed loop process of identifying and controlling hazards. It is applied on 1 of 3 levels; guided by 4 principals.
5 step process of ORM
- Identify Hazards (what are they?)
- Assess the Hazards (probability & severity)
- Make Risk Decisions (select controls to reduce risk)
- Implement Controls (eng/admin/ppe)
- Supervise (are the controls working?)
4 principals of ORM
I. Accept Risks when the benefits out weigh the costs
II. Accept no unnecessary risks
III. Anticipate/Manage risks with planning
IV. Make risk decisions at the right levels
Mishaps
an unplanned or unexplained event causing illness, injury, death, or property damage
Mishap investigations
Conducted to determine the primary cause and plan corrective action to prevent re-occurrence
Who conducts mishap investigations?
The safety office preforms a formal investigation when 1 or more days of work is lost
Why are mishaps reported?
Accurate records establish trends and aid in measuring program effectiveness
Near Mishap
When injury or damage are narrowly avoided by chance or circumstance.
Hazardous Condition
a condition that if continued or ignored may cause a mishap
Hazard Severity
Worst possible outcome - 4 categories
Hazard Cat 1
Catastrophic - greater then $500k in damage or death
Hazard Cat 2
Critical - disfiguring injury, loss of 3 months work, or $50k-$500k in damage
Hazard Cat 3
Marginal - more than 1 day loss work, $10k-$50k worth of damage
Hazard Cat 4
Minimal - personnel is safe, no lost time, less than $10k in damage
Safety Ashore Instruction
OPNAVIST 5100.23G
Safety Afloat Instruction
OPNAVIST 5100.19E
mishap reporting instruction
OPNAVIST 5102D
risk assessment codes (RAC)
determined by matching hazard severity and mishap probability
The 5 RAC’s
- Critical
- Serious
- Moderate
- Minor
- Negligible
Mishap Probability Levels
A. likely to occur
B. probably will occur
C. may occur in time
D. unlikely to occur
PPE (personal protective equipment)
Used as a last line of defense against hazards and is the least effective method of protection from workplace hazards
Types of PPE
Head (hardhat) Eye/Face (googles/mask) Ears (plugs/muffs) Respiratory (respirator) Hand/Foot (gloves/steel-toe boots) Safety Clothing (vests/belts/aprons) Electrical Protective Devices (LO/TO) Personal Fall Protection (harnesses)
PPE Maintenance
if in-properly maintained or used PPE can become ineffective and expose the worker to hazards
CO
ultimately responsible with the safety of their command; reviews and signs the annual safety report
XO
Chairman of NAVOSH council & enforces all safety policies and procedures
Safety Officer
Manages the command safety program, investigates mishaps, and advises the CO on all matters pertaining to safety within the command
Department Heads
responsible for ensuring safety within their areas of responsibility and are members of the NAVOSH council
Watch Officers/Supervisors
Responsible for ensuring a safe workplace and the safety of their personnel and ensuring that proper PPE is available
Safety Supervisors / Safety Petty Officer
(E6 and above) monitor safety within their company/division & initiates preliminary mishap investigation, and is an adviser to the the Company Commander
All Hands
everyone is a safety observer and needs to report workplace hazards, injuries, property damage, and violators to their supervisor.
What happens to safety violators
Subject to UCMJ disciplinary action
Violation Report
OPNAV 5100/11
What is a safety stand down
a period of 1-2 days set aside for safety training, awareness and drills. They are also held after a mishap to go over what happened and how to prevent re-occurrences
FACOSH
Federal Advisory Council of Occupational Safety and Health
Function of FACOSH
Acts as an advisory to the Sec of Labor to report on all matters relating to the occupational safety and health of federal employees
NAVOSH
Naval Occupational Safety and Health Council
NAVOSH Personnel
Chair person - XO
Recorder - Safety Officer
Reps from all departments
Purpose of NAVOSH
Meets quarterly to discuss/analyze the function of the safety program
3 Basic Functions of NAVOSH
I. creates and maintains an interest in safety
II. serves as a means of communication regarding safety
III. provides program assistance to the CO including proposing policy and program objectives
Enlisted Safety Committee
Meets monthly & makes written recommendations to the safety council
Ergonomics Program
“Fit the workplace to the worker”
A study of the body’s movements/limitations and how to prevent workplace risk factors/injuries
5 types of workplace risk factors
- Force
- Repetition
- Awkward/Static Positions
- Vibration
- Contact Stress
Reporting Unsafe Conditions
- Report to the Chain of command (supervisor)
- Report to the safety office or file written report
Safety office investigation Time frames
72 hours
24 hours for Imminent Danger
10 days for written replies
Neglient Discharge
OPREP-3 Navy Blue and a report on WESS
WESS
Web enabled safety system
Lock Out/Tag Out (LO/TO)
Procedures necessary to prevent injury to personnel and damage to equipment
LO/TO Process
Locks and tags are installed to prevent accidental activation of hazardous energy when working on downed equipment
Who Preforms LO/TO procedures?
Only qualified personnel who are designated in writing are authorized to preform LO/TO
OOS
Out of Service/Danger
Red Tags
Prevents equipment from being used
OOC
Out of Calibration
Yellow Tags
Provides amplifying instructions on equipment operation
Front of Tag
Component ID Position currently in Issuing Officer Person hanging second check reporting authority
Back of tag (yellow only)
Amplifying Instructions
Hearing Conservation Program
Intended to prevent hearing loss related to high exposure of high noise levels
When are personnel evaluated
- initially
- annually
Single protection requirements
