Chapter 103 Flashcards
Safety Fundamentals
What is ORM (operational risk management)?
A decision making tool to increase operational effectiveness by anticipating hazards and reducing potential for loss.
It increases the ability to make informed decisions and attempts to minimize risk to acceptable levels.
What are the 4 principles of ORM?
- Accept risk when benefits outweigh the cost
- Accept no unnecessary risk
- Anticipate and manage risk by planning
- Make risk decisions at the right level
What are the 5 steps of ORM?
1) Identify hazards
2) Assess hazards
3) Make risk decisions
4) Implement controls
5) Supervise
When is PPE required?
What is the goal of PPE?
What TYPE of control is PPE?
Give an example of when organizations have to provide training to personnel who are required to use PPE.
In situations where engineering or administrative controls are not available or effective.
To Prevent or limit hazardous exposures thereby decreasing personnel loss due to mishaps.
it is a SAFETY control (not administrative or engineering control).
N95 respirator for hospital staff.
What includes class “A” fire hazards?
Picture symbol?
How to extinguish?
Ordinary Combustibles (i.e Solid substances that leave ashes when they burn: wood, paper, rubber, plastic)
Trash can on fire
Water
What includes Class B fire hazards?
Picture symbol?
How to extinguish?
Flammable liquids, grease, gases
Oil can pouring over flame
if small: CO2 and purple “K” powder
if large: Aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF)
What includes Class C fire hazards?
Picture symbol?
How to extinguish?
Energized electrical equipment
Electrical socket on fire
De-energize the equipment, CO2
What includes Class D fire hazards?
Picture symbol?
How to extinguish?
Combustible metals (magnesium, zinc, titanium, lithium, calcium)
Half cog wheel on fire
High or low-velocity fog
What includes Class K fire hazards?
Picture symbol?
How to extinguish?
Cooking media (vegetable oils, animal oils, fats/lards)
Fire coming out of a roasting pan
remove the source of heat, smother oxygen, AFFF
How often should operational pauses (safety stand-downs) occur?
What is the goal of them?
Example?
At least annually
Provide a break from operations to conduct safety training, review procedures, and
assess the command’s safety posture
Back in the saddle (BITS) training
What is the Goal of the Naval Aviation Safety Program (NASP)?
How does it enhance operational readiness?
Goal is to maximize mission effectiveness through the elimination or control of hazards, thus managing risk to an acceptable level and thereby preventing mishaps.
Enhances operational readiness by preserving lives, preventing injury, and protecting equipment & material.
What is the goal of the Laser hazard control program?
Who does it apply to?
To preserve and maintain the health of personnel by adopting practices which eliminate or control exposure.
Applies to all systems capable of producing laser radiation.
What are the 3 goals of the Marine Corps Hearing Conservation Program?
- Reduce hazardous noise sources through acquisition and engineering controls
- Prevent noise induced hearing loss
- Ensure auditory fitness-for-duty for service members and civilian workforce
What does NATOPS stand for? What is it?
Naval Air Training & Operating Procedures Standardization
The operation manual for any Naval aircraft.
