56
Q

What is a Hazard Severity

A

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

57
Q

** Hazard severity categories **

A
  • 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
58
Q

What is a Mishap Probability

A

The likelihood that a hazard will result in a mishap

59
Q

Mishap Probability assignments

A

  • C: May occur in time
  • D: Unlikely to occur
60
Q

LIST the Occupational Safety and Health Programs

61
Q

Three methods of controlling hazards

A
  • PREVENT the hazard at the design stage
  • IDENTIFY and eliminate existing hazards
  • REDUCE the likelihood and severity of mishaps
    from hazards that cannot be eliminated
62
Q

Principles of Hazard Control (in order of preferred application)

A

Substitution
– Replacement of a process, material, or equipment having a lower hazard potential
– ENSURE the new substitute material does not create a new hazard
Engineering Controls
– *Primarily accomplished through design and advance planning
– Should be approved by Safety and Industrial Hygiene before implementing
Administrative Controls
– Employs special operating procedures to reduce the exposure of individuals to hazards
—– Limiting access to high hazard areas
—– Adjusted work schedules
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
– Personnel wear special equipment to prevent/reduce exposure to a hazard
– Least preferred method because:
—– Exposure can occur upon breakdown or failure of PPE
—– PPE reduces worker’s productivity
– Can be used in conjunction with other abatement measures

63
Q

2 types of Engineering Controls

A
  • Isolation: Physical separation of a hazard from personnel to eliminate or minimize contact; involves the use of a barrier such as:
  • – Physical barrier: machine guards
  • – Time barrier: timed operation of semi-automatic equipment
  • – Distance barrier: remote control
  • Ventilation: The control of potentially hazardous airborne substances through the movement of air
  • – General Ventilation or “dilution ventilation” is the dilution of the concentration of an airborne substance by mixing it with uncontaminated air
  • – Local Exhaust Ventilation is the removal of an airborne substance at its source or point of generation
64
Q

Bloodborne Pathogen Program

Definition:

A

Bloodborne pathogens are infectiousmicroorganismsin human blood that can cause disease in humans;these pathogens include, but are not limited to, Hepatitis B(HBV), Hepatitis C (HCV) and Human ImmunodeficiencyVirus (HIV)

65
Q

Medical Surveillance Criteria of Bloodborne Pathogens

A

All Sailors reasonably anticipated to be at risk for exposure to contaminated blood/body fluids via

    • Eyes
    • Skin
    • Mucus Membranes
    • Parenteral routes
66
Q

Required exams for bloodborne pathogen exposure

A
  • Baseline: bloodborne pathogen education and administration of Hepatitis B vaccination series (only for those not immune)
  • Emergency Exposure: post-exposure evaluation and follow-up
  • – Required Medical History
  • —- Detailed history of exposure to determine health risk
67
Q

Special Procedures for bloodborne pathogens

A
  • Initial: Verification of Hepatitis B immunity
  • Emergency Exposure
  • – Immediate cleansing specific to the type ofexposure
  • – Testing of blood for Hepatitis B and C serological status’ testing of source’s blood for HIV, Hepatitis B and C infectivity
68
Q

Written Medical Opinion (if exposed)

A
  • Whether Hepatitis B vaccination is indicated and received
  • Member informed of results of evaluation
  • Membercounseled regarding the risk associated with the specific exposure
  • Member counseled on post-exposure prophylaxis efficacy, indications of initiation, timing of initiation, and regimen selection as soon as possible;the goalis to start HIV post-exposure within 1 to 2 hours after exposure
