NAVOSH Workplace Inspections Guidelines
All workplaces inspected ANNUALLY
Safety Officer retains results for 2 years
Industrial Hygiene Surveys
Required Baseline IH Surveys conducted
IH Time Periods
- Baseline
- Between completion of each yard period
- New construction
- Periodic, 3 years or update of baseline
When do you renew the Baseline?
When system, equipment or load-out changes significantly affect on-board hazard and/risk.
Who conducts random walk throughs and when?
CO
XO
Dept. Head
DIVO
Work Center Supervisor
During the work day or evolutions
AOSA Guidelines and Purpose
Conducted by Commander Naval Safety Center
1-2 Days long
Purpose is
- Identify Safety Hazards
- Training Safety Personnel
- Provides CO with evaluation of the ship
- Promotes Hazards Awareness
AOSA Time Periods
At Command Request
Assessments conducted every 6 years on surface ships or submarines
Medical Surveillance Program Purpose
- Monitor the health of individuals exposed to hazards
- Job certification/Re-Cert (Physical Exams)
- “Secondary Protection”
Safety Hazard Report
OPNAV 3120/5
- Typed or Handwritten
- Forward to Safety Officer
-Submitted right away if safety deficiencies not corrected immediately
Hazard Abatement Program Description
When hazards identified are not able to be immediately corrected are recorded and tracked to completion
RAC
Risk Assessment Code
Identified hazards are assigned a RAC by the Safety Officer
Hazard Severity Definition
Assessment of the worst reasonably expected consequence, defined by degree o injury, illness or physical damage due to a hazard
Hazard Severity Categories
Assigned by Roman Numerals
I- CATASTROPHIC: Cause death, loss of facility or grave damage to national interest
II. CRITICAL: Cause severe injury, illness, property damage, damage to national interest
III. MARGINAL: Minor injury, illness, property damage
IV. NEGLIGABLE: Minimal threat to personnel safety or health property
Mishap Probability
Likelihood a hazard will result in a mishap.
Assigned by letter
A- Likely to occur
B- Probably will occur in time
C- May occur in time
D- Unlikely to occur
3 Methods of Controlling Hazards
Prevent at DESIGN STAGE
Identify and eliminate existing hazards
Reduce likelihood and severity of mishaps
Occupational Safety and Health Programs
- Asbestos Control Program
- Heat Stress Program
- Hazardous Material Control and Management Program
- Hearing Conservation Program*
- Sight Conservation Program
- Respiratory Protection Program
Engineering Controls Purpose
Primarily accomplished through design and advanced planning
2 Types of Engineering Controls
- Isolation: Physical separation of hazard from personnel
- Ventilation: The control of potentially hazardous airborne substances through the movement of air (LOCAL and GENERAL Exhaust)
PPE Drawbacks
Least preferred because
1: Exposure can occur upon breakdown or failure of PPE
2: PPE reduces workers productivity
What is a Blood Borne Pathogen?
Infectious microorganisms in human blood that can cause disease to humans
Risk of Blood Borne Exposure through what?
- Eyes
- Skin
- Mucus Membranes
- Parenteral Routes
Required For Blood Borne Pathogen Exposure
Education and HEPB Vaccine for those not immune
