Engineering Documentation Flashcards
What is the purpose of the Naval Ships’ Technical Manual (NSTM)?
It provides general interest information to the entire fleet, including electrical safety precautions, firefighting, and damage control.
What is the primary purpose of the tagout system?
The tagout system ensures the safety of personnel and equipment by isolating systems during maintenance or repair.
What type of data is found in Watchstation Operating Logs?
These logs provide historical data to observe equipment operating trends, helping identify abnormalities.
What is the difference between a Danger Tag and a Caution Tag?
A Danger Tag is used when personnel or equipment safety is at risk, prohibiting the operation of the tagged equipment. A Caution Tag provides additional information to ensure safe operation.
What is the process for “Hanging Tags”?
An officer verifies the tags and authorizes their placement. A person then positions the component and hangs the tag. A second person independently verifies that the tags are correctly placed and that systems are in the proper positions.
