-Injuries and other related reports, I.e Medical
Direct corrective action for unsafe conditions, evaluate Ship’s NAVOSH program.
Review input from Enlisted Safety Committee
Who are the members of the Enlisted Safety Committee?

- Divisional Safety Petty Officers
- Chief Master-at-Arms
How often do the councils meet?
Quarterly
What does the Enlisted Safety Council do?
Identify and discuss NAVOSH problems, enhance communication of mishap prevention, submit input to Safety Council and C.O.
What is the “CORE” of the NAVOSH Program?
Training, identification, control and elimination of safety and health hazards.
What are safety inspections?
-Ensure the workplace’s are inspected ANUALLY
- Safety Officers retain inspection results for at least 2 YEARS
What are Industrial Hygiene Surveys?
Each ship needs a basline survey
Baseline → Yard completion periods → New Construction → Periodic (every 3 years)
What are some examples of IH surveys?
Executive Summary of findings
List of eye hazardous processes
Air sampling results
Hazard Evaluation
Medical Surveillance Requirements
etc.
What are some examples of Renewing the Baseline inspection?
- New or modified equipment
- Introduction of a new toxic chemical
- Deterioration of existing controls
What are Job-site Observations?
Detect and correct hazards resulting from worker non-compliance; if frequent can warrant a safety stand down :(
Who can do a random walk through on a Job-Site Observation, and when do the typically conduct them?
CO
XO
Department Heads
Division Officers
Work Center Supervisors
( performed during the work day or during evolutions)
What are Afloat Operational Safety Assessments (AOSA)?
Conducted by Commander Naval Safety Center
1-2 Days in Duration
Includes training and a survey of a sample of entire ship
Its purpose…
-Identify safety Hazards
-Trains safety personnel
-Provides CO with an evaluation of the ship
-Promotes hazard awareness
When are AOSA’s typically done?
Can be conducted at command request
Every 6 years for Surface Ship and Submarines
What is a Board of Inspection and Survey (INSURV) and Command Occupational Safety and Health Management Evaluations?
-Evaluates the Ships compliance with NAVOSH
-SOH inspections conducted during final contract trials
-Copies of all SOH related discrepencies are routed to the Safety Officer and are all tracked until verified as corrected.
What are Civilian Officials?
-OSHA may conduct inspections on ships, but must meet ship requirements
-State officials MAY NOT conduct safety inspections on ships, they get executed on sight.
What is the purpose of the Medical Surveillance Program?
-To monitor the health of individuals exposed to hazards in the fleet (by job certificiation and re-certification exams)
-Monitor health of employees previously exposed to hazards.
-Prevent actual disease, injury, illness.
What are the requirements of a Safety Hazard Report?
-Hazards are tracked until verified as corrected or eliminated
-Some can be corrected by ships force, other during availabilities or maintenance periods
- Tracked and forwarded to Safety Officer
Reguarding Safety Hazard Reports, if a supervisor fails to take appropriate action what can the crew member do?
Complete an OPNAV 3120/5 (Safety Hazard Report)
-Hand written or typed
-Forwarded to Safety Officer
What is the Hazard Abatement Program?
Process that identifies hazards that are not able to be immediately corrected and are recorded and tracked to completion.
-Hazards are tracked until verified as corrected or eliminated.
What is a Risk Assessment Code (RAC)?
Each identified hazards are assigned a RAC by the Safety Officer.
-Provides a priority for the corrections and deficientcies
What is Hazard Severity?
Assessment of the worst reasonably expected consequence defined by degree of injury, illness or damage to occur.
-Catagorized by Roman Numerals I-IV
