EOOW/EDO Flashcards
Discuss the concept of ORM
Is a decision making tool used by personnel at all levels to increase effectiveness by identifying, assessing, and managing
risks. By reducing the potential for loss, the probability of a
successful mission is increased.
What are the three levels of ORM?
In-depth. The in-depth level refers to situations when time is not a limiting factor and the right answer is required for a successful mission or task.
Deliberate. The deliberate level refers to situations when there is ample time to apply the RM process to the detailed planning of a mission or task.
Time Critical. This is the level at which personnel
operate on a daily basis both on- and off-duty.
What are the four principles of ORM?
a. Accept Risk when Benefits Outweigh the Cost
b. Accept No Unnecessary Risk.
c. Anticipate and Manage Risk by Planning.
d. Make Risk Decisions at the Right Level.
Explain the following as they apply to ORM:
a. Identifying hazards
b. Assessing hazards
c. Making risk decisions
d. Implementing controls
e. Supervising
a. Identify the Hazards (Step 1). A hazard is any condition with the potential to negatively impact mission accomplishment or cause injury, death, or property damage.
b. Assess the Hazards (Step 2). For each hazard identified, determine the associated degree of risk in terms of probability and severity.
c. Make Risk Decisions (Step 3). There are three basic actions which ultimately lead to making informed risk decisions: identifying control options; determining the effect of these
controls on the hazard or risk; and, ultimately deciding how to proceed.
d. Implement Controls (Step 4). Once the risk control decisions are made, the next step is implementation.
e. Supervise (Step 5). Supervise and review involves determining the effectiveness of risk controls throughout the mission or task.

Discuss the purpose of the Hearing Conservation Program. [ref. a, ch. B4]
To prevent noise-induced hearing loss and protect personnel from the harmful effects of hazardous noise.
A successful HCP that preserves
hearing is critical to safety, mission success and career sustainability.
Explain when audiograms are required. [ref. a, app. B-4A]
All personnel in the HCP must receive an audiogram annually,
beginning within 1 year of assignment to those duties, unless their exposure has been found to be
of insufficient intensity or duration to require enrollment, as determined by the command safety
officer or manager, based on a noise survey.
Describe when single hearing protective devices (insert plugs or circumaural muffs) are mandatory. [ref. a, ch. B4]
Areas or equipment where the noise levels are 85 dBA or greater but less than 96
dBA (continuous) or 140 dBP or greater but less than 165 dBP (impact) must be labeled as noise hazardous and require the use of single hearing protection.
Explain when double hearing protection is required. [ref. a, ch. B4]
Areas or equipment where the noise levels are 96 dBA (continuous) or greater or 165 dBP (impact) or greater must be labeled as noise hazardous and require the use of double hearing protection.
Discuss where hazardous noise warning labels and decals are posted.
[ref. a, ch. B4]
All potentially hazardous noise areas and equipment must be clearly identified by signs located at their entrances, boundaries or on the tool or equipment
Define an STS. [ref. a, app. B4-A]
Significant Threshold Shift, which is a change in hearing relative to a baseline
Discuss what action is taken if an STS is identified. [ref. a, app. B4-A]
Ensure that personnel who require follow-up testing due to a significant threshold
shift (STS) are excluded from noise areas, defined as areas 80 decibel A scale (dB(A)) or greater
for continuous or 140 dB sound pressure level (SPL) peak, for at least 14 hours before the
scheduled retests. Hearing protection may not be used to meet this requirement.
Identify the noise-hazardous areas aboard your ship. [ref. b]
Discuss the training requirements for the Hearing Conservation Program.
[ref. a, ch. B4]
a. All personnel must receive training relative to the HCP prior to working in noise
hazardous areas or with noise hazardous equipment and annually thereafter. Initial training
topics must include:
(1) the rationale for the HCP including the effects of noise on hearing;
(2) designated noise hazardous areas and equipment;
(3) proper use and maintenance of HPDs, including the advantages and disadvantages of
each type of device;
(4) the necessity for hearing testing, and a description of test procedures;
(5) mandatory requirement to wear assigned hearing protection, and administrative
actions that may result from failure to comply;
(6) off-duty hearing health hazards;
(7) the effects of hearing loss on career longevity, promotion and retention; and
(8) communication in high-noise environments.
When is an IH Noise Survey required? [ref. a, ch. B4]
To effectively control noise, it is necessary that the noise be accurately measured according to standard procedures as outlined in reference (c) and that the measurements are properly evaluated against current criteria. Measurement of
environment noise levels is also necessary to identify acceptable levels and personnel at risk.
Note: For new construction ships, an airborne noise survey conducted by the shipbuilder for contract performance is not an acceptable substitute for the required noise survey and
personal noise exposure assessment once the ship is loaded out with personnel and gear.
