Occupational and Personal Safety Flashcards
What is ORM?
- A systematic decision-making process used to identify and manage hazards that endanger naval resources
- A tool used to make informed decisions by providing the best baseline of knowledge and experience available
- Used on and off duty
What are the steps in the ORM process
Identify hazards Assess hazards Make risk decisions Implement controls Supervise
How do you identify hazards
- Begin with an outline or chart of the major steps in the operation
- list all of the hazards associated with each step along with possible causes
How do you assess hazards
Determine the associated degree of risk in terms of probability and severity for the hazards identified
- The use of a matrix may be helpful
How do you make risk decisions
- develop risk control options
- start with the most serious risk first and select controls that will reduce the risk to a minimum consistent with mission accomplishment
- decide whether the benefits from the use of selected controls outweighs the risk
What can be used to eliminate hazards or reduce the degree of risk
Engineering controls administrative controls
personal protective equipment
How many different classes of mishaps are there
3
The mishap level is determined by what
Monetary means and injury classification
What is a class A mishap
The total cost of damage is $2,000,000 or more
Injury: death or permanent disability
What is a class B mishap
Total cost of damage is $500,000 or more but less than $2,000,000
injury: partial disability/3 or more are inpatient hospitalized
What is a class C mishap
Total damage cost is $50,000 or more, but less than $500,000
Injury:A non-fatal injury that causes any loss of time beyond the day or shift on which it occurred
Non-fatal illness or disease that causes loss of time from work or disability at any time
Considered a lost time case
For reporting purposes lost workday class C mishaps are those which result in what?
Five or more lost workdays beyond the date of injury
Why was PPE established
As a last line of defense in the event of equipment breakdown, failure, Misuse to include hazardous environment and working conditions
What method is considered a last resort after trying to eliminate hazards through the preferred method of engineering controls
PPD
What are examples of PPE utilized in Naval aviation
Cranials Eye pro Ear pro Head pro Foot pro Globes
