Safety Fundamentals Flashcards
Explain EYE PROTECTION and requirements
All personnel entering eye-hazardous area must wear probes or eye protective devices
Deliberate Level
Situations when is:
-Ample time to apply RM process in planning evolution
Time Critical Level
Situations when is:
-Little or no time to make a plan
RISK ASSESMENT
The process of detecting hazards and assessing associated risks
Give examples of PPE’s
- Head protection
- Hearing protection
- Eye protection
- Foot Protection
In-depth Level
Situations when:
- Time is not a limiting factor
- Detailed risk assessment
What are the five step processes of RM?
- Identifying Hazards
- Assessing Hazards
- Making risk decisions
- Implementing controls
- Supervising
Acronym: IAMIS
Explain IDENTIFYING HAZARDS
Haz Ident. is Important because it can cause:
PROPERTY DAMAGE
INJURY OR DEATH to personnel
Explain IMPLEMENT CONTROLS
- Measures that can be used to eliminate hazards or reduce the degree of risk
- CLEAR, SIMPLE execution orders to be understood at ALL LEVELS
Explain FOOT PROTECTION and requirements
All marine personnel exposed to foot hazardous areas shall be furnished safety footwear at government expense. Hazardous areas includes: constructions, maintenance, transportation, weapons, supply, vehicle maintenance, etc.
Explain the purpose and information contained in MSDS
Is a technical bulletin containing information about materials, such as the:
-composition
-chemical and physical characteristics
-health and safety hazards
-safe handling and use
Supervisors are required to provide training to everyone that uses the material before they use it
Explain ASSES HAZARDS
For each hazard identified determine the DEGREE OF RISK in terms of PROBABILITY and SEVERITY
Explain ACCEPT NO UNNECESSARY RISK
Any risk that if taken, will not contribute meaningfully to mission accomplishment or will needlessly jeopardize personnel or material.
Discuss the term RM and the concept of the RM process
RM
-One of the BEST MEANS available to eliminate needless loss of LIFE, INJURY, MATERIAL DAMAGE
RM PROCESS
-Minimizing RISK to and ACCEPTABLE LEVEL commensurate with mission accomplishment.
Explain HEAD PROTECTION and requirements
Safety helmets protect against IMPACT , PENETRATION, AND ELECTRIC SHOCK. Any personnel entering head hazardous areas shall wear appropriate head protection
Explain ACCEPT RISK WHEN BENEFITS OUTWEIGHS THE COST
Manage risk so mission can be accomplished with the minimum amount of loss
Explain “Make risk decisions at the right level”
- Anyone can make risk decision
- Ultimate RM decision (reject, accept,eliminate) will be made by the LEADER directly in charge of the operation
- If Leader unable to mitigate, take it to SNCO/Officer
- If SNCO unable, elevate to Commander
Explain ANTICIPATE AND MANAGE RISK BY PLANNING
Integrating RM as early as possible, provides the greatest opportunity to make well-informed risk decisions and implement effective risk controls.
RISK
An expression of possible loss in terms of probability and severity
HAZARDOUS MATERIAL
Any material that because of its QUANTITY, CONCENTRATION, OR PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL characteristics, may pose hazard to HUMAN HEALTH or ENVIRONMENT, if INCORRECTLY used, PURPOSEFULLY released, or ACCIDENTALLY spilled
HAZARD
A condition that can cause injury or death, property damage or mission degradation
What are the four principles of RM
- Accept risk when benefits outweigh the cost
- Accept no unnecessary risk
- Anticipate and manage risk by planning
- Make risk decisions at the right level
Three Levels of RM
- In-depth Level
- Deliberate level
- Time Critical Level
HAZARDOUS WASTE
A discarded material which meets the definition of hazardous material and is designated as waste by Environmental Protection Agency or State Authority
Explain SUPERVISE
Conduct follow-up evaluations of the controls to make sure they remain in place and have the desired effect
Explain MAKE RISK DECISIONS
Accomplished in TWO sub steps
- IDENTIFY and ASSESS risk control options
- Make RISK DECISION (Reject, Avoid, Delay, Transfer Compensate)
Explain HEARING PROTECTION and requirements
Hearing protection shall be worn when noise levels is:
- 84 dBA sound level or greater
- 140 dB sound pressure level or greater
When sound level is 104 dBA or greater double hearing protection must be worn. Inserts and circumference hearing protective devices
