What are the three types of controls that can be implemented during ORM?
Engineering Controls, Administrative Controls, PPE
Engineering Controls
Controls that use engineering methods to reduce risk by Design, or Material Selection or Substitution.
Advantages of Engineering Controls
When technically and economically feasible, engineering controls are the best to use because they usually eliminate the hazard.
Disadvantages of Engineering Controls
Their drawback is they may not be feasible in many cases.
Administrative Controls

What are the 4 applications applied to prevent or mitigate workplace hazards?
a. Substitution
b. Isolation
c. Ventilation
d. Administrative Controls
In regards to Small Boat Safety, what are the 4 steps of Launch and Recovery?
a. Inspect all equipment before use
b. Conduct an operations and safety briefing
c. Conduct a boat inspection
d. Keep non-essential personnel away from the davit area.
- In regards to Small Boat Safety, what steps should be followed during Fueling of Small Boats?
a. If possible, fuel a boat in the daytime and while it is in the water with its engine stopped.
b. If it is necessary to fuel a boat in its “shipboard stowage”, provide adequate firefighting equipment at the scene.
c. DO NOT fuel boats with passengers on board.
d. No smoking or use of non-explosion-proof lights during fueling.
e. Always keep gas cap in place when not fueling.
f. Before starting the engine, inspect compartments and bilges; clean, and ventilate as necessary.
g. Ensure gasoline is stowed only in approved fuel containers and returned to approved storage locations upon completion of the fueling operation.
What type of swimmers can be assigned as boat crew members?
Ensure only qualified (Class II or above) swimmers are assigned as boat crew members.
What are the Safety Requirements in regards to Boat Capacity?
a. Be familiar with and never exceed the designated personnel carrying capacity.
b. Reduce maximum capacity in extreme weather conditions.
What is FOD?
Foreign object or debris that can cause damage because of aircraft induced rotor-wash
Who is responsible for policing FOD?
All Hands
- How far should you stay away from a helicopter when the rotor blades are turning?
50 feet
What safety considerations must be observed during Helicopter Operations?
a. FOD
b. Avoid approaching within 50 feet of a helicopter when the rotor blades are turning, unless necessary. Whenever required to approach or leave a helicopter which has its blades rotating, remain in full view of the landing signalman, enlisted (LSE) and pilot and keep in a crouched position.
c. Know the location of firefighting and lifesaving equipment.
d. During flight operations, only permit authorized personnel on the flight deck or weather areas adjacent to the flight deck.
e. Remove soft hats topside during helicopter landing or take-off.
f. Do not take flash pictures during flight operations.
What items are considered Electrical Equipment?
a. Generators
b. Electrically powered machinery and mechanisms
c. Power Cables
d. Controllers
e. Transformers
f. Associated Equipment
What items are considered Electronic Equipment?
a. Radars
b. Sonar
c. Radios
d. Power Amplifiers
e. Antennas
f. Electronic Warfare Equipment
g. Computers
h. Associated Controls and Peripherals
What safety equipment is required when using portable tools?
a. Wear rubber gloves when using electric portable tools in hazardous conditions (i.e. wet environments)
b. Wear leather gloves over the rubber gloves when work being performed could damage the rubber gloves.
c. Wear PPE when working where particles may strike the eyes.
d. Wear hearing protection when working with noise hazardous tools or in an area where such work is being conducted.
e. Arrange the cords so that they will not become a trip hazard.
f. Always unplug extension cords from an energized receptacle before the cord of the portable electrical equipment is unplugged from the extension cord.
g. Obey all warning signs; read equipment warning labels.
h. Do not energize any equipment that is tagged-out. Properly clear the tag first.
i. Use one hand rule when turning on electrical equipment. Never operate a switch with the other hand on a metal surface, which would provide a path to ground through the body.
j. Use only Navy-approved power strips for computer equipment, printers, and peripherals. Never use power strips in series (connected to one another).
What are the symptoms of Electrical Shock?

e. Victim’s body may become rigid or stiff. Should not be considered rigor mortis. Commence artificial respiration immediately.
What are the steps you need to take during an Electrical Shock Victim Rescue?
a. Secure power
b. If power cannot be secured remove victim immediately observing the following precautions:
i. Protect yourself with a dry insulating material
ii. Use a dry board, belt, dry clothing, or other available non-conductive material to free the victim (by pushing, pulling, or rolling) from the power-carrying object. DO NOT TOUCH THE VICTIM.
c. Immediately after removal of a victim from the power-carrying object, administer artificial respiration.
d. When providing first aid measures, any possible spinal injuries or fractures should be taken into consideration.
What are the general precautions when working with ordnance?
a. Do not smoke or allow open flames near ordnance.
b. Use only authorized equipment on ordnance to perform any operation. Do not use improvised equipment.
c. Use approved standard operating procedures for all hazardous operations.

f. Ensure that “BRAVO” flag is flying during ordnance cargo handling operations or a red task light is displayed at night.
g. Thoroughly wash hands after handling ordnance.
h. Do not allow any other cargo handling operations to take place in the area where ordnance handling is taking place.
