safety hazard report requirements
- hazards are tracked until corrected or eliminated
- some hazards corrected by ship force, others may require correction during availabilities or maintenance periods
- tracked and forwarded to Safety Officer
- all crew to report hazards
- communication of hazards can be done orally or in writing
- reports submited if hazard not corrected on the spot

**Hazard Abatement Program
Process by which identified hazards that are not able to be immediately corrected are recorded and tracked to completion
RAC
Risk Assessment Code
Risk Assessment Code
Each identified hazards are assigned a Risk Assessment code (RAC) by Safety Officer.
(a) RAC provides a priority for the corrections and deficiencies.
(b) RAC is derived using Hazard Severity and Mishap Probability
**Hazard Severity
an assessment of the worst reasonably expected
consequence, defined by degree of injury, illness, or physical damage which likely to occur as a result of the hazard
**Hazard severity categories
- I - Catastrophic: Hazard may cause death, loss of facility
or grave damage to national interest. - II - Critical: Hazard may cause severe injury, illness, property
damage, damage to national interest. - III - Marginal: Hazard may cause minor injury, illness, property
damage. - IV - Negligible: Hazard presents a minimal threat to personnel
safety or health property.
**Mishap Probability
the likelihood that a hazard will result in a
mishap.
**Mishap Probability is assigned a letter
a) A - Likely to occur immediately or the very near future.
b) B - Probably will occur in time.
c) C - May occur in time.
d) D - Unlike to occur.

** 3 methods of controlling hazards
(1) Prevent the hazard at the design stage.
(2) Identify and eliminate existing hazards.
(3) Reduce the likelihood and severity of mishaps from hazards that cannot be eliminated.
Principles of Hazard Control (in order of preferred application)
- substitution - (most preferred/first line)
- engineering controls
- administrative controls
- PPE - (least preferred/protection)
a. exposure can occur upon breakdown or failure
b. PPE reduces workers productivity
2 types of engineering controls
- Isolation
a. physical barrier (machine guards)
b. time barrier (timed operation)
c. distance barrier (remote control) - Ventilation
a. general ventilation or dilution ventilation - dilution of concentration of airborne substances by mixing with uncontaminated air
b. local exhaust ventilation - removal of airborne substance at its source
**Ventilation
The control of potentially hazardous airborne substances
through the movement of air
