102 Safety Fundamentals Flashcards
Discuss historical development of the Navy Safety and Occupational Health (SOH)
program.
- 1970 - The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) of 1970 became law
1983 - The first Navy Safety & Occupational Health Program Manual, OPNAVINST 5100.23 Series
was implemented.
Explain safety program responsibilities of Commanding Officer
Ultimately responsible for safety matters within his or her unit. He or she appoints a safety officer or
safety manager carry out day-to-day safety-related activities.
Explain safety program responsibilities of Executive Officer
The safety officer reports to the executive officer about administrative matters.
Explain safety program responsibilities of Safety Officer
- The safety officer is responsible for managing the SOH program, Reports directly to the
commanding officer on SOH matters and to the executive officer for the administration the SOH - Acts as the principal advisor to the commanding officer on shipboard SOH matters.
- Prepares and submits, through the chain of command, requests for external SOH support such as
industrial hygiene surveys, safety surveys, safety assist visits or technical guidance. - Participate in mishap and safety investigation, ensures timely and accurate recording and reporting
of required mishap reports and maintains and analyzes SOH records (inspection/assessment reports,
injury reports, and mishap statistics) and determine trends. - Ensures the dissemination of SOH information, schedules/coordinates required SOH training with
the training officer/planning board for training and conducts training as appropriate and ensure
records of that training are maintained. - Serves as the advisor-recorder of the safety council. Prepares agenda for issuance by the
chairperson, serves as the chairperson of the enlisted safety committee.
Explain safety program responsibilities of Department Head
- Ensures that all assigned workspaces are inspected and maintained free of hazards and are in
compliance with applicable SOH standards. - Ensures that all assigned personnel are properly trained, advised of any associated hazards, are
equipped/provided with appropriate protective clothing/equipment, and complete any required
medical surveillance screenings.
Explain safety program responsibilities of Division Officer
Division officers shall appoint a senior petty officer (E-5 or above) as the division safety petty officer
to assist in the responsibilities outlined above and provide appropriate on board indoctrination to
ensure satisfactory performance in the safety field.
Explain safety program responsibilities of Work Center Supervisor
- Ensures that workspace are inspected and maintained free of hazards and are in compliance with
applicable SOH standards. - Ensures that all assigned personnel are properly trained, advised of any associated hazards, are
equipped/provided with appropriate protective clothing/equipment, and complete any required
medical surveillance screenings. - Takes prompt action to abate/correct any identified deficiency under their control and ensures that
mishaps, hazards, and near mishaps are reported to the safety officer.
Explain safety program responsibilities of Safety Petty Officer
- Inspects division spaces and submit hazard reports per OPNAV 3120/5.
- Advises the division officer on the status of the SOH program within the division including any
safety-related items revealed through maintenance, such as noncompliance with or deficiency in the
planned maintenance system (PMS). - Keeps the division officer informed of safety training needs within the division and conducts division
SOH training and ensure documentation of training is maintained. - Assists in mishap or hazard investigations and provide recommendations to division officers for
correction. - Serves on the enlisted safety committee.
Explain safety program responsibilities of All hands
- All hands must follow posted safety precautions, comply with safety standards, and report unsafe or
unhealthful conditions. - They must report injuries and material damage immediately to their supervisor.
What is the purpose of ORM?
ORM is a decision making tool used by personnel at all levels to increase effectiveness by
identifying, assessing, and managing risks. It increases the Navy’s ability to make informed decisions
by providing a standardized RM process.
- ORM minimizes risks to acceptable levels and applies to on/ off-duty activities 24 hours a day, 7
days a week, and 365 days a year

discuss Accept Risk when Benefits Outweigh the Cost as is pertains to ORM
- The process of weighing risks against the
benefits and value of the mission or task helps to maximize success. Balancing costs and benefits is
a subjective process. Therefore, personnel with knowledge and experience of the mission or task
must be engaged when making risk decisions.
discuss Accept No Unnecessary Risk as is pertains to ORM
- If all detectable hazards have not been identified, then
unnecessary risks are being accepted. Additionally, an unnecessary risk is any risk that, if taken,
will not contribute meaningfully to mission or task accomplishment or will needlessly jeopardize
personnel or materiel
discuss Anticipate and Manage Risk by Planning as is pertains to ORM
Integrating RM into planning at all levels and as
early as possible provides the greatest opportunity to make well-informed risk decisions and
implement effective risk controls. This enhances the overall effectiveness of ORM and often
reduces costs. Thorough planning identifies associated hazards and the steps necessary to
complete the task or mission
-discuss Make Risk Decisions at the Right Level as is pertains to ORM
- Anyone can make a risk decision. However, the
appropriate level for risk decisions is the person that can make decisions to eliminate or minimize
the hazard, implement controls to reduce the risk, or accept the risk.
Category I
- Loss of the ability to accomplish the mission.
- Death or permanent total disability.
- Loss of a mission-critical system or equipment.
- Major facility damage.
- Severe environmental damage.
- Mission-critical security failure.
- Unacceptable collateral damage.
Category II
- Significantly degraded mission capability or unit readiness.
- Permanent partial disability or severe injury or illness.
- Extensive damage to equipment or systems.
- Significant damage to property or the environment.
- Security failure.
- Significant collateral damage.
Category III
- Degraded mission capability or unit readiness.
- Minor damage to equipment, systems, property, or the environment.
- Minor injury or illness.
Category IV
- Little or no adverse impact on mission capability or unit readiness.
- Minimal threat to personnel, safety, or health.
- Slight equipment or systems damage, but fully functional and serviceable.
- Little or no property or environmental damage.
hazard severity codes:
Category I, II, III, and IV
mishap probability codes
Subcategory A, B, C, and D
Subcategory A
- Likely to occur
Subcategory B
- Probably will occur in time.
Subcategory C
- May occur in time.
Subcategory D
- Unlikely to occur
DEFINE Hazard Severity
This is an assessment of the potential consequence that can occur as a result of a
hazard and is defined by the degree of injury, illness, property damage, loss of assets (time, money,
personnel), or effect on the mission or task.
DEFINE Mishap Probability
This is an assessment of the likelihood that a potential consequence may occur
as a result of a hazard and is defined by assessment of such factors as location, exposure (cycles or
hours of operation), affected populations, experience, or previously established statistical information.

What is the purpose of the Hazmat Program?
- The Hazmat Program focuses on preventing, minimizing, or eliminating the introduction of
hazardous material (HM) into the Navy system, substituting less hazardous HM for HM already in the
Navy system, safely using HM in the workplace, and safely handling and disposing of hazardous
waste.
Explain the responsibilities of all unit personnel as applied to safety
- Safe practices should be followed by all unit personnel at all times. Personnel should follow all
posted signs, precautions and procedures to minimize hazard severity. All personnel should be
familiar with reporting procedures for unsafe events, mishaps and near mishaps.
Discuss safety and occupational health training requirements
- All new employees regardless of position require safety orientation training. Training should cover
various topics applicable to employees including mishaps, compensation, MSDSs, work procedures,
smoking, stress, plans and goals, radiation, etc
Discuss the purpose of safety stand-downs
- Safety stand-downs should be used to cover various topics applicable to employees including
mishaps, compensation, MSDSs, work procedures, smoking, stress, plans and goals, radiation, etc.
However, they may be used to cover a wider range of topics
