What for is OPNAV 3120/5
Safety Hazard Report
forwarded to the safety officer
Describe the hazard abatement program
The process by which identified hazards that are not able to be immediately corrected is recorded and tracked to completion.
Define Hazard Severity
an assessment of the worst reasonably expected consequences, defined by a degree of injury, illness, or physical damage which likely to occur as a result of the hazard.
What are the hazard severity categories?
I- Catastrophic- Death, loss of facility, Grave damage to national interest
II-Critical- Severe injury, illness property damage

A- Likely to occur immediately or in the very near future.
B- Probably will occur in time
C-May occur in time
D-Unlikely to occur.

Name six.
Asbestos control heat stress hazardous material control management hearing conservation sight conservation respiratory protection
what are the 3 methods of controlling hazards?
- Prevent the hazard at the design stage
- Identify and eliminate existing hazards
- reduce the likelihood and severity of mishaps from hazards that cannot be eliminated.
what are the two types of engineering controls?
- Isolation- Physical separation (use of a barrier)
- Ventilation- the control of potentially hazardous airborne substances through the movement of air.
What is the least preferred method of Hazardous controls?
