Common Core: General Safety Fundamentals Flashcards
Define Risk
The probability and severity of accident or loss from exposure to hazards.
Define Hazard
Any condition with the potential to negatively impact mission accomplishment or cause injury, death, or property damage.
What is ORM?
Operational Risk Management: reduce or offset risk by systematically identifying hazards, assessing and controlling risk, and making decisions based on weighing risk against mission benefits.
What are the four 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 five steps of ORM?
- Identify Hazards
- Assessing Hazards
- Making Risk Decisions
- Implementing Controls
- Supervising
Four ways to implement controls in ORM
Engineering Controls
Administrative Controls
Personal Protecting Equipment
Supervising
Definition of Hazard Severity
An assessment of the worst credible consequence that can occur as a result of hazard.
Hazard Class I
Hazard may cause death, loss of facility/asset or result in grave damage to national interests.
Hazard Class II
Hazard may cause severe injury, illness, and property damage, damage to national or service interests or degradation to efficient use of assets.
Hazard Class III
Hazard may cause minor injury, illness, property damage, damage to national, service or command interests or degradation to efficient use of assets.
Hazard Class IV
Hazard presents a minimal threat to personnel safety or health, property, or other national interests.
Mishap Probability
The probability that a hazard will result in a mishap or loss.
Mishap Sub-Category A
Likely to occur immediately or within a short period of time
Mishap Sub-Category B
Probably will occur in time.
Mishap Sub-Category C
May occur in time.
Mishap Sub-Category D
Unlikely to occur.
What is TCRM?
Time Critical Risk Management: Applying ORM at the point of commencing or during execution of a mission or task.
Four steps of TCRM
A- Assess the situation
B- Balance resources
C- Communicate to others
D- Do and Debrief the event
CO’s responsibility in regards to safety
The CO has the ultimate responsibility fir safety matters within their unit.
XO’s responsibility in regards to safety
Leads the safety program. The safety officer reports to the XO for administrative matters.
Safety Officer
Is responsible for managing the Safety and Occupational Health (SOH) program.
Safety Council
Convenes quarterly to develop recommendations for policy in safety matters and to analyze progress of the overall safety program.
What is the purpose of a mishap investigation and who is responsible for conducting the investigation?
The purpose is to determine the primary and contributing causes of the mishap; plan corrective actions; and prevent further loss. Mishap investigator is assigned by the CO.
Hazard Reporting
Detecting unsafe or unhealthful working conditions are the earliest possible time and making prompt corrections at the lowest possible level.
What is the purpose of a safety plan?
A project supervisor is required to have a tailored safety plan, or accident prevention plan (APP), that properly addresses safety and occupational health requirements.
Development of a Safety Plan
Project safety plan must be approved before work can begin. It includes an organization plan, scope sheet, definable features of work (DFOW), and activity hazard analysis (AHAs)
When is Ground-Fault Circuit interruption required?
All 120-volt, single-phase 15- and 20-ampere receptacle outlets on construction sites, that are not permanent, must have approved GFCI.
Elements of the hearing conservation program
1- Noise measure and analysis 2- Engineering control 3- Hearing protective devices 4- Audiometry 5- Education
Respiratory Protection Program
The respiratory protection program requires training, fit-testing, record keeping, medical screening, and procurement and tracking of equipment.
Fall Protection
Personnel must wear parachute-type safety harnesses with safety lanyards when climbing, working aloft, or over the side. Substitute wire rope for nylon when performing hot work.
What are the two types of eye protection required?
1- Temporary Protective Eyewear
2- Eye and Face Protection
When is hearing protection required?
- Sound levels greater than 84dBA
- 140 dB peak sound pressure level or greater
- All personnel exposed to gunfire
What are the 8 elements of the Lockout/Tagout Program?
1) Notification of affected personnel
2) Preparation for shut down
3) Mechanical or equipment shut down
4) Mechanical or equipment isolation
5) Lock and tag application
6) Release of stored energy
7) Verification of isolation
8) Release of Lockout/Tagout
What shall be included in a Lockout/Tagout Log?
1) Command Lockout/Tagout SOP
2) Date log/tag applied
3) Location
4) Lockout/Tagout Control Number
5) Energy Source (Type and Magnitude)
6) Person applying the Lock/Tag
7) Person Control Key issued
8) Date Lock removed
9) Safety Officer monthly inspection
Who is authorized to certify a “Confined Space” as safe for entry/work?
- Confined Space Program Manager (CSPM)
- Navy Competent Person (formally Gas Free Technician)
- NFPA Marine Chemist
- Board Certified Navy GFE (Gas Free Engineer)
- Certified Industrial Hygienist
What is the importance of the Industrial Hygiene and Work Place Monitoring Program?
- To asses potential health risks faced by Navy Personnel
- To establish and document a historical record
- Ensure and demonstrate compliance with criteria.
- Provide a basis for medical surveillance examinations.
What is a Class A fire?
Wood, paper, trash, having glowing embers
Use water/foam
What is a Class B fire?
Flammable Liquids, gasoline, paints, grease
Use foam/CO2/Dry Chemicals
What is a Class C fire?
Electrical Equipment
Use CO2/Dry Chemicals
What is a Class D fire?
Combustible Materials
Use special extinguishing agents approved by recognized testing
What are the four types of fire extinguishers?
- Water
- Foam
- Carbon Dioxide
- Dry Chemicals
