LIST the procedures when identifying an item on the HMIRS (Reference HMIRS Users
Guide, HMIRS)
a. Identifying Items in HMIRS.
(1) Federal Stock Number.**
(2) NIIN (Last 9 numbers of FSN).*
(3) Part/Catalog number used by manufacturer.
(4) Trade name.
(5) Chemical name
LIST the health requirements of HAZMAT aboard ship (Reference Navy and Marine Corps
Public Health Center Technical Manual, NMCPHC-TM 6260.51.99-2 Series).
Health Requirements Aboard Ship
(1) Use the Medical Matrix in determining the proper Medical screening required for individual workers.*
(a) Hazard Specific.*
1) Its aim is to protect workers who are exposed or potentially exposed to HM in
the workplace. **
2) Identifies workers who need examination, establishing exam content, the periodicity of exams, performance of exams and the documentation of results
which provide statistical data to evaluate trends and effects of exposure.
(b) Medical Examinations.
1) Target specific body organs or organ systems potentially subject to HM whether by inhalation, ingestion, absorption or other routes of entry.
2) Elements of the exam include pertinent medical history (personal, family, and work histories), specific ancillary tests (labs, X-rays, PFT, etc…), and a handson medical exam by a clinical provider.
3) Provides for follow-up examinations and notification to the worker of health related issues as a result of exposure to HM or hazardous workplace
environments.
DESCRIBE the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) label (Reference Hazardous
Material User’s Guide (HMUG), OPNAVINST 5100.28 Series, page 7).
a. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Label
(1) The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has created a system that assigns
hazard ratings to materials.
(a) These supplementary hazard ratings can be used for guidance in handling and
storing HM.
(b) You may see these labels on truck tank and rail cars, buildings, and in hardware stores.
(c) These labels are used to warn firefighters of materials contained within.
(d) Four categories and colors.

a) Fire Hazard (Red)* – Flash point by various temperatures.
b) Health Hazard (Blue)* – Degree of health hazard.
c) Reactivity (Yellow)* – Stability of item or type of reaction when combined.
d) Specific Hazard (White)* – Acid, Alkali, Oxidizer, Corrosive, Radioactive.
