Study Notes
Mishap Severity Categories
-
Category I - Catastrophic mission capability or unit readiness.
- Permanent partial disability or severe injury or illness.
- Extensive damage to equipment or systems.
- Significant damage to property or the environment.
- Security failure.
- Significant collateral damage
-
Category II - Critical mission capability or unit readiness.
- Significant injury or illness.
- Extensive damage to equipment or systems or property.
- Environmental damage.
- Significant operational impact.
-
Category III - Degraded mission capability or unit readiness.
- Minor damage to equipment, systems, property, or the environment.
- Minor injury or illness.
-
Category IV - Little or no adverse impact on mission capability or unit readiness.
- Minimal threat to personnel, safety, or health.
- Slight equipment or systems damage, but fully functional and serviceable.
- Little or no property or environmental damage.
Mishap Probability Codes
-
Subcategory A - Likely to occur, immediately or within a short period of time.
- Expected to occur frequently to an individual item or person; or continuously over a service life for an inventory of items or group.
-
Subcategory B - Probably will occur in time.
- Expected to occur several times to an individual item or person; or frequently over a service life for an inventory of items or group.
-
Subcategory C - May occur in time.
- Can reasonably be expected to occur sometime to an individual item or person; or several times over a service life for an inventory of items or group.
- Subcategory D - Unlikely to occur, but not impossible.
Hazard Severity and Mishap Probability
- Hazard Severity: Determines the severity based either on the Naval Asbestos Facility Score (NAFS) if available in the activity's asbestos inventory or from a judgment of the condition of the asbestos involved.
- Probability: Determines the number of people exposed to asbestos then the number of hours per week the average person is exposed.
Mishap Classifications
- Class A - The resulting total cost of damages to DoD or non-DoD property in an amount of $2 million or more; a DoD aircraft is destroyed; or an injury and/or occupational illness result in a fatality or permanent total disability.
- Class B - The resulting total cost of damages to DoD or non-DoD property is 500,000ormore,butlessthan500,000 or more, but less than 500,000ormore,butlessthan2 million. An injury and/or occupational illness result in permanent partial disability or when three or more personnel are hospitalized for inpatient care (beyond observation) as a result of a single mishap.
- Class C - The resulting total cost of damages to DoD or non-DoD property is 50,000ormore,butlessthan50,000 or more, but less than 50,000ormore,butlessthan500,000; or an event involving one or more DoD personnel that results in one or more days away from work.
Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Label Elements
- Symbols (hazard pictograms): Convey health, physical and environmental hazard information, assigned to a GHS hazard class and category.
- Signal Words: "Danger" or "Warning" are used to emphasize hazards and indicate the relative level of severity of the hazard, assigned to a GHS hazard class and category.
Hierarchy of Preferred Control Measures for Fall Hazards
- Elimination: Removing the hazard from a workplace. This is the most effective control measure.
Mishap Reporting
- Safety departments document all mishap notification and support received.
- Mishap investigators complete written reports with factual findings, root causes, and corrective actions for prevention.
- For civilian personnel mishaps, the investigator releases factual information to the ICPA but is forbidden to release privileged safety information, such as analysis, findings, and recommendations.
- Safety departments forward recommendations to relevant department heads and supervisors, follow up on progress, and notify command personnel.
- All mishaps meeting reporting criteria are reported electronically to COMNAVSAFECEN using the Web-Enabled Safety System (WESS) or other appropriate format from reference 14-2.
- Guidance on mishap information, privileged safety information, and the conduct of Safety Investigation Boards is provided in reference 14-2.
Fall Hazard Control Measures
- Elimination: Removing the hazard from the workplace is the most effective control measure.
- Delaying the task: If no time deadline exists, consider delaying the task to allow for risk elimination or development of new controls over time.
- Transfer of Risk: Shifting the mission or task to a more suitable unit or individual that can mitigate the risk.
- Compensation: Assigning redundant capabilities to compensate for potential losses.
- Determine Control Effects: The control's effect on severity and probability should be re-assessed, determining the residual risk.
- Cost Consideration: The cost of implementing controls and potential interactions between controls should be considered.
- Risk Decision: Determining if the residual risk is acceptable, balancing the risk against the mission's potential benefit and value.
- Implementing Controls: Following risk control decisions, implementation is the next step.
Mishap Categories
- Category I: Mission failure or loss of life.
- Category II: Permanent partial disability, severe injury or illness, significant equipment or system damage, property or environmental damage, security failure, or significant collateral damage.
- Category III: Degraded mission capability or unit readiness, minor equipment damage (fully functional), minor injury or illness, or minor property or environmental damage.
- Category IV: Minimal impact on mission capability or unit readiness, minimal threat to personnel safety or health, slight equipment damage (fully functional), or minimal property or environmental damage.
Mishap Probability Codes
- Subcategory A: Likely to occur immediately or within a short period of time, occurring frequently to an individual item or person, or continuously over the service life for an inventory.
- Subcategory B: Probably will occur in time, occurring several times to an individual item or person, or frequently over a service life for an inventory.
- Subcategory C: May occur in time, occurring some time to an individual item or person, or several times over a service life for an inventory.
- Subcategory D: Unlikely to occur, but not impossible.
Hazard Severity & Mishap Probability
- Hazard Severity: Defines severity based on the naval asbestos facility score (NAFS) or a judgment of the condition of the asbestos.
- Probability: Determined based on the number of people exposed to asbestos and the number of hours per week the average person is exposed.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- The best way to protect personnel is to eliminate the hazard.
- Engineering controls are the preferred method for minimizing hazard exposure.
- A PPE program should be implemented when engineering controls are not feasible.
- Activities provide PPE when deemed necessary to reduce occupational injuries or illnesses.
- PPE procurement and enforcement of proper use and maintenance are the responsibility of the activity.
- PPE offers a last line of defense and does not eliminate the hazard.
- Misapplication or improper maintenance can render PPE ineffective, highlighting the importance of equipment selection, maintenance, training, and enforcement of proper use.
Safety Councils and Committees
- Safety Councils and Committees: Formed to discuss safety issues, generate recommendations, monitor safety programs, and promote safe practices.
- Membership: Members include supervisors, employees, and safety professionals, representing different levels of the activity and various areas of expertise.
- Functions: Identify hazards, develop safety procedures, conduct safety inspections, investigate accidents, and evaluate safety programs.
- Safety Training: Safety officers, managers, and hygienists require continuing education and training, including annual CEU requirements.
Training and Continuing Education
- Formal classroom training is not mandatory, but documentation is required for any meetings or informal training.
- Non-industrial areas utilize monthly or periodic meetings to distribute safety information.
- Safety professionals require continuing education for certification and knowledge retention.
- CEU requirements vary based on profession and level of experience.
- The hours and CEUs required are a minimum, and knowledge and understanding of the subject matter are the ultimate measures of success.
