SAFETY ADVISORIES A. IN-USE/FLAMMABLE STORAGE LOCKER REQUIREMENT CLARIFICATION (1) THERE IS POTENTIALLY CONFUSING INFORMATION IN REF A VOL II CONCERNING SATELLITE HAZMAT LOCKERS LOCATED IN MAIN ENGINEROOM SPACES. (2) REF A VOL II PARAGRAPH C2302E (2)(C), FLAMMABLE STORAGE REQUIREMENTS, STATES: "NO IN-USE STORAGE OF FLAMMABLE AND COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS IS ALLOWED IN MACHINERY SPACES." THIS PARAGRAPH REFERS TO STORING HAZMAT IN MACHINERY SPACES EXTERNAL TO A SATELLITE LOCKER. IN-USE STORAGE OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS IS ALLOWED IN MACHINERY SPACES AS LONG AS IT IS STORED IN AN IN-USE FLAMMABLE LIQUID CABINET AND MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS IN PARA C2302E (2)(B) OF REF A AND PARA OF REF B. (3) PRESINSURV (NEP) CONCURRED WITH THE INFORMATION IN PARA 1.B ABOVE. (4) REF A WILL BE UPDATED DURING THE NEXT REVISION CYCLE TO

3 CLARIFY THESE REQUIREMENTS. B. ASBESTOS REMOVAL PROTECTION (1) THERE IS OUTDATED INFORMATION IN REF A VOL I CONCERNING AUTHORIZED EQUIPMENT FOR ASBESTOS REMOVAL PROTECTION. (2) REF A VOL I APPENDIX B1-H IS A COPY OF AEL , EQUIPMENT FOR USE WITH ASBESTOS REMOVAL. REF C HAS SUPERSEDED THE AEL IN REF A VOL I AND IS THE MOST CURRENT GUIDANCE FOR ASBESTOS REMOVAL CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT. UNTIL REF A VOL I APPENDIX B1-H IS REVISED, REFER TO THE CONTENTS OF REF C FOR THE CORRECT CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT REQUIRED WHEN REMOVING AND DISPOSING OF ASBESTOS MATERIAL DURING SHIPBOARD REPAIRS. (3) REF A WILL BE UPDATED DURING THE NEXT REVISION CYCLE TO CLARIFY THESE REQUIREMENTS. C. AFLOAT FALL PROTECTION (1) GENERALLY, SHIPBOARD PERSONNEL ONLY THINK OF DONNING FALL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT WHEN THEY ARE GOING ALOFT OR OVER THE SIDE. HOWEVER, FALL PROTECTION IS ALSO REQUIRED FOR EVOLUTIONS OUTSIDE THESE TWO ARENAS. THIS MESSAGE SETS POLICY FOR MINIMUM FALL PROTECTION PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS UNTIL REF A IS REVISED. (2) ALL FORCES AFLOAT SHALL USE THE FOLLOWING AS A GUIDELINE FOR WHEN TO USE FALL PROTECTION. FALL PROTECTION IS REQUIRED FOR ALL PERSONNEL ON NAVY SHIPS AND SUBMARINES EXPOSED TO FALL HAZARDS IN THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: ON ANY ELEVATED WALKING OR WORKING SURFACE WITH UNPROTECTED SIDES, EDGES, OR FLOOR OPENINGS FROM WHICH A POSSIBILITY OF FALLING FIVE FEET OR MORE EXISTS; OR, WHERE THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF A FALL FROM ANY HEIGHT ONTO DANGEROUS EQUIPMENT, INTO A HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENT (SUCH AS FALLING OVER THE SIDE), OR ONTO AN IMPALEMENT HAZARD. (3) OTHER EXAMPLES OF WHEN FALL PROTECTION ARE REQUIRED INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: ANY MAST, KINGPOST, ELEVATOR TRUNKS, DUMBWAITER TRUNKS, MAIN BALLAST TANKS, FUEL TANKS, VERTICAL PALLET AND PACKAGE CONVEYOR TRUNKS, AND ANYWHERE EXTERIOR TO THE LIFELINE SYSTEM. FALL PROTECTION IS REQUIRED FOR WORK (I.E., CHANGING LIGHT BULBS, PRESERVATION, ETC.) IN ACCESS TRUNKS AND ESCAPE TRUNKS. ACCESS TRUNKS DO NOT REQUIRE FALL PROTECTION FOR NORMAL TRANSITING BECAUSE OF NETTING IS INSTALLED. ALTHOUGH ESCAPE TRUNKS DO NOT HAVE NETTING INSTALLED, THEY DO NOT REQUIRE FALL PROTECTION BECAUSE THEY ARE FOR EMERGENCY EGRESS ONLY. (4) REF A WILL BE UPDATED DURING THE NEXT REVISION CYCLE TO CLARIFY THESE REQUIREMENTS. D. NAVY WORKING UNIFORM (NWU) WEAR FOR INITIAL DISCOVERY PERSONNEL AND RAPID RESPONSE FIRE FIGHTING, REGARDLESS OF NWU TYPE. (1) QUESTIONS HAVE ARISEN THROUGHOUT THE FLEET REGARDING WHETHER OR NOT THE NAVY WORKING UNIFORM (NWU) CAN BE WORN TO COMBAT A SHIPBOARD FIRE. FLEET FORCES COMMAND, TYPE COMMANDERS, AND COMNAVSEASYSCOM HAVE WORKED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE NAVAL SAFETY CENTER AND AGREE WITH THE CONTENT AND RELEASE OF THIS MESSAGE. (2) SHIPBOARD FIRE FIGHTING PHILOSOPHIES HAVE NOT CHANGED

4 BASED ON THE INTRODUCTION OF THE NWU. REF D PARAGRAPH DIRECTS A CREWMEMBER DISCOVERING A FIRE, OR THE RAPID RESPONSE TEAM, TO DECIDE WHETHER TO ATTACK THE FIRE OR TO START CONTAINMENT AND ISOLATION ACTIONS. IF THE FIRE IS SMALL AND APPEARS CAPABLE OF BEING CONTROLLED, THEN AN ATTACK ON THE FIRE WOULD BE REASONABLE AND CAN BE MADE BY PERSONNEL WITH LITTLE OR NO PROTECTION. (3) WHEN A FIRE BREAKS OUT ABOARD SHIP, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. THE SOONER AN EXTINGUISHING AGENT CAN BE APPLIED TO THE FIRE, THE MORE LIKELY IT IS THAT THE FIRE CAN BE EXTINGUISHED OR CONTAINED UNTIL A FULLY OUTFITTED ATTACK TEAM ARRIVES TO COMBAT THE FIRE, PREVENTING THE FIRE FROM BECOMING FULLY INVOLVED OR SPREADING TO ADJACENT COMPARTMENTS. IAW REF E, PARAGRAPH , THE SCENE LEADER DETERMINES THE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE FIRE PARTY BASED ON AN ASSESSMENT OF CONDITIONS AT THE SCENE OF THE FIRE. (4) SUMMARY: THERE ARE NO UNIFORMS IN THE NAVY SEABAG DESIGNED FOR SUSTAINED FIRE FIGHTING; HOWEVER, THE URGENCY FOR IMMEDIATE RESPONSE DEMANDED BY A SHIPBOARD FIRE REQUIRES THAT A SAILOR WEARING THE NWU BE PREPARED TO ATTACK A NEWLY DISCOVERED FIRE IN ORDER TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE OR PREVENT FIRE SPREAD. IN OTHER WORDS, INITIAL RESPONSE CAN BE IN THE NWU UNIFORM, AS THE INTENT FOR INITIAL RESPONSE IS TO IMMEDIATELY TAKE ACTION TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE OR SET BOUNDARIES AND CONTAIN THE FIRE UNTIL RELIEVED BY A PROPERLY EQUIPPED FIRE PARTY. E. HEAT STRESS SURVEY CLARIFICATION (1) THERE IS CONFLICTING INFORMATION IN REF A VOL I CONCERNING FOLLOW-ON WBGT (WET-BULB-GLOBE TEMPERATURE) SURVEYS. THIS SAFETY ADVISORY PROVIDES INFORMATION TO CLARIFY REQUIREMENTS FOR FOLLOW-ON SURVEYS BEING CONDUCTED THE FOLLOWING DAY. (2) REF A VOL I PARA B0204C (5) WAS INTENDED TO BE IN HARMONY WITH THE KEY REQUIREMENTS SPECIFIED IN PARA B0204C (5)(A) AND (B). THE WORDING IN PARA B0204C (5) IMPLIES A FOLLOW-ON WBGT SURVEY EVERY DAY. HOWEVER, THE INTENT OF THE INSTRUCTION IS TO BASE FOLLOW-ON WBGT SURVEYS ON THE DRY BULB (DB) AND WET BULB (WB) REQUIREMENTS SPECIFIED IN PARA B0204C (5)(A) AND (B). SIMPLY STATED, PARA B0204C (5) WOULD BE BETTER WRITTEN AS, "ONCE A HEAT STRESS SURVEY HAS BEEN CONDUCTED, FOLLOW-ON SURVEYS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THAT DAY AND FOR SUBSEQUENT DAYS SHALL BE ACCOMPLISHED AS IDENTIFIED BELOW IN PARAGRAPH B0204 (5)A." (3) REF A WILL BE UPDATED DURING THE NEXT REVISION CYCLE TO CLARIFY THESE REQUIREMENTS. F. REQUIRED AFLOAT REPORTS (1) ALL AFLOAT CASES OF GROUNDING, COLLISION, AND ALLISION (REGARDLESS OF COST) SHALL BE REPORTED AS A REPORTABLE MISHAP AND INCLUDE THE COST OF DAMAGE TO OWN SHIP, THE OTHER SHIP, CRAFT, OR OBJECT AND ANY INJURIES. A COLLISION IS ANY UNINTENDED CONTACT BETWEEN TWO MOVING OBJECTS (E.G., SHIPS, CRAFT, AND TUGS). ALLISIONS ARE ANY UNINTENDED CONTACT BETWEEN A SHIP AND A FIXED OBJECT. INCLUDE THE COST ESTIMATE OF DAMAGE AND ANY INJURIES BEYOND FIRST AID.

5 (2) ALL AFLOAT CASES OF FLOODING, DEFINED AS THE INTRUSION OF ANY FLUID (FOR EXAMPLE, WATER, FUEL, SEWAGE) INTO A COMPARTMENT CAUSED BY MISALIGNMENT, NEGLIGENCE, OR FAILURE TO FOLLOW OPERATING PROCEDURES (E.G., EOS, EOP, VALVE LINE-UPS) OR COMPONENT FAILURE (E.G., VALVE, O-RING) OR OVERFLOW CAUSED BY AN UNPLANNED EVENT THAT CAUSES THE IMPLEMENTATION OF EMERGENCY FLOODING ACTION. INCLUDE THE COST ESTIMATE OF DAMAGE AND ANY INJURIES BEYOND FIRST AID. (3) REPORTABLE FIRES (A) REPORTABLE FIRES ARE ANY UNINTENTIONAL FIRES OCCURRING ON ANY NAVAL INSTALLATION, SHIP, SUB, OR AIRCRAFT (TO INCLUDE SMALL FIRES IN WHICH NO PERSONNEL WERE INJURED AND THE MATERIAL PROPERTY DAMAGE WAS LIMITED TO THE ORIGINALLY IGNITED MATERIEL AND NOT PROPAGATED TO OTHER MATERIALS). FIRES ARE UNINTENDED STATES, PROCESSES, OR INSTANCES OF COMBUSTION IN WHICH FUEL OR OTHER MATERIAL IS IGNITED AND COMBINED WITH OXYGEN, GIVING OFF SMOKE, SPARKS, OR FLAME. SMOKE OR SPARKS MAY OR MAY NOT BE PRESENT. HOWEVER, IF UNEXPECTED SMOKE OR SPARKS EXIST, A FIRE SHOULD BE ASSUMED TO EXIST (THIS IS ESPECIALLY RELEVANT TO CLASS 'C' FIRES WHEN THE SMOKE OR SPARKS CEASE AFTER POWER IS SECURED). EVIDENCE OF PREVIOUSLY UNREPORTED COMBUSTION OR EXPLOSION SHOULD ALSO BE REPORTED UPON DISCOVERY. REPORTS SOLELY BASED ON ACRID ODOR (NO EVIDENCE OF COMBUSTION UPON INSPECTION) ARE NOT REQUIRED. (B) MATERIEL DAMAGE OF MECHANICAL/STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS MEETING REF F FISCAL THRESHOLDS FOR REPORTING BASED ON REPLACEMENT/REPAIR COSTS THAT IS CAUSED SOLELY BY AN OVERHEAT CONDITION (E.G., MATERIEL WARPING, DISCOLORATION, ETC.) SHOULD BE REPORTED AS A MATERIEL FAILURE MISHAP. OVERHEAT CONDITIONS ARE WHERE MATERIEL DESTRUCTION IS SOLELY DUE TO HIGH TEMPERATURE AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF SELF-SUSTAINED COMBUSTION. ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC OVERHEAT CONDITIONS WHERE THERE IS EVIDENCE OF COMBUSTION SHALL BE REPORTED AS A FIRE. (4) ACCORDING TO PARA OF REF A, ALL "CLASS A, B, AND C GOVERNMENT PROPERTY DAMAGE MISHAPS" ARE REPORTABLE. THIS MEANS ANY MISHAP RESULTING IN A TOTAL COST TO THE GOVERNMENT GREATER THAN $50,000. THIS ALSO INCLUDES NON-GOVERNMENT PROPERTY DAMAGE IF THE DAMAGE WAS CAUSED BY A GOVERNMENT EVOLUTION, OPERATION, OR VEHICLE. IT ALSO INCLUDES DIVING EQUIPMENT THAT IS DAMAGED OR LOST. ALSO INCLUDED IN THE MISHAP COSTS ARE ANY EXPENDITURES NECESSARY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANUP OR RESTORATION. INITIAL COST DETERMINATION INCLUDES ESTIMATES FOR COST OF MATERIALS, AND COST OF LABOR FOR REPAIR. ONCE REPAIRS ARE COMPLETE, DETERMINE THE FINAL COST BASED ON THE ACTUAL EXPENDITURES AND AMEND THE MISHAP REPORT PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED. (5) REF G PROVIDES GUIDANCE FOR AN ADDITIONAL MISHAP SEVERITY CATEGORY, CLASS D, DEFINED AS: THE RESULTING TOTAL COST OF PROPERTY DAMAGE IS $20,000 OR MORE, BUT LESS THAN $50,000; OR A RECORDABLE INJURY OR ILLNESS NOT OTHERWISE CLASSIFIED AS A CLASS A, B, OR C MISHAP. REF G STATES: INVESTIGATE, RECORD, AND REPORT ALL CLASS A, B, AND C MISHAPS AND WORK-RELATED CLASS D MISHAPS. THEREFORE UNTIL

6 REF F IS FULLY REVISED AND IMPLEMENTED, FOLLOW THE GUIDANCE SET FORTH IN REF F FOR ALL CLASS A, B, C AND D MISHAPS. SEE REF F PART II, GLOSSARY FOR GUIDANCE AND DEFINITIONS. (6) REPORTING OF HAZARDS, NEAR MISSES, AND NON-REPORTABLE MISHAPS (MISHAPS (OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFICALLY CALLED OUT IN PARAGRAPH 3.F.(1)) WITH DAMAGE COSTS LESS THAN $20,000 AND PERSONNEL FIRST AID INJURIES) SHALL BE ACCOMPLISHED USING THE WESS HAZARD MODULE. NOTE THAT IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT LEADERSHIP THROUGHOUT THE CHAIN OF COMMAND ENCOURAGE, AND COMMAND SAFETY PROGRAMS FOSTER, HAZARD REPORTING WITHOUT FEAR OF REPERCUSSION IN ORDER TO ENABLE OTHERS TO MITIGATE HAZARDS AND PREVENT FUTURE INJURY OR DEATH OF PERSONNEL AND DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT. (6) ALL AFLOAT ELECTRICAL OR ELECTRONIC SHOCKS (WHETHER INTENTIONAL OR UNINTENTIONAL) FROM ANY VOLTAGE, OR CURRENT SOURCE REGARDLESS OF INTENSITY SHOULD BE REPORTED. THE NAVAL SAFETY CENTER IS WORKING SEVERAL INITIATIVES TO ENHANCE ELECTRICAL SAFETY TRAINING AND DOCUMENTATION. REPORTING ALL SHOCKS, NO MATTER HOW MINOR THEY SEEM AND EVEN IF THE SAILOR IS RETURNED "FIT FOR FULL DUTY" IMMEDIATELY WILL GIVE US, AND THE CHAIN OF COMMAND A GREATER APPRECIATION FOR THE SIZE OF THIS CHALLENGE AND HELP IDENTIFY THE APPROPRIATE CORRECTIVE MEASURES. (7) AS A REMINDER, OPNAVINST J (W/IC1), SPECIAL INCIDENT REPORTING (OPREP-3 PINNACLE, OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE, AND OPREP-3 NAVY UNIT SITREP) PROCEDURES, REQUIRES YOU TO INCLUDE COMNAVSAFECEN AS AN INFO ADDEE IF THE INCIDENT IS POTENTIALLY REPORTABLE AS A MISHAP, IS AN ACTUAL MISHAP, OR INVOLVED A FIREARM. ADDITIONALLY, PARAGRAPH 8 IN SECTION III OF CHAPTER 2 REQUIRES YOU TO INCLUDE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING IN YOUR FINAL OPREP-3 MESSAGE FOR THAT EVENT: MISHAP REPORT NOT REQUIRED. MISHAP REPORT TO FOLLOW. MISHAP REPORT SUBMITTED. G. SHIPBOARD PROCEDURES PRIOR-TO-LOADING CHAFF AND PROCEDURES FOR CHAFF LOADING AND UNLOADING (1) DURING A SHIPBOARD CHAFF LAUNCHING EXERCISE, TECHNICIANS WERE LOADING CHAFF UPON COMPLETION OF PRE-FIRE PMS, ANTICIPATING A LAUNCHING EXERCISE. ASSUMING PRE-FIRES WERE STILL IN PROGRESS, A CONSOLE OPERATOR LAUNCHED THE CHAFF WHICH WAS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE LOADER'S FACE. IMMEDIATE CAUSAL FACTORS REVEALED WERE A LACK OF PROCEDURAL GUIDANCE, FAILURE TO CONDUCT A SAFETY BRIEF, AND FAILURE TO ESTABLISHING PROPER COMMUNICATIONS. (2) FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED PMS WAS COMPLICATED AND/OR AMBIGUOUS. THE CSOSS REQUIRES THE "ORDNANCE HANDLING TEAM TO PERFORM LAUNCHER LOAD OPERATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH SHIP DOCTRINE." IT WAS ALSO DISCOVERED SOME SHIPS DO NOT HAVE THE REQUIRED DOCTRINE FOR THIS EVOLUTION. (3) THE NAVAL SAFETY CENTER RECOMMENDS THE FOLLOWING TO MITIGATE FUTURE OCCURANCES: (A) CONDUCT A REVIEW OF THE QUALIFICATION/CERTIFICATION

7 PROGRAM IN ACCORDANCE WITH REF H WITH ALL TEAM LEADERS, SAFETY OBSERVERS, CHAFF HANDLERS AND WATCH STANDERS AS WELL AS ROUTINE TRAINING FOR ALL PERSONNEL ENGAGED WITH CHAFF HANDLING. (B) ENSURE SAFETY BRIEFS ARE CONDUCTED WITH ALL INVOLVED PERSONNEL PRIOR TO COMMENCING POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS EVOLUTIONS. (C) CREATE A SHIP'S DOCTRINE IAW CSOSS AND REFS H AND I, DIRECTING SAILORS TO UTILIZE THE APPLICABLE TECHNICAL MANUAL FOR UPLOADING OR DOWNLOADING CHAFF. (4) PRE-FIRE PMS AND LOADING/DOWNLOADING OF CHAFF ROUNDS ARE TWO DISTINCT EVOLUTIONS. THE APPLICABLE SHIPBOARD CSOSS FOR MK36 OR MK53 EXERCISE FIRING SUPPORT LISTS REFS H, I, J, K, AND L TO FOLLOW WHEN PERFORMING THE PRE-FIRE PMS AND UPLOADING/DOWNLOADING OF CHAFF AND CAN BE USED TO DEVELOP THE REQUIREMENTS IN THE SHIP'S EW DOCTRINE. (5) IT IS LEADERSHIP'S RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE THE SAFEST TRAINING AND WORKING ENVIRONMENT POSSIBLE FOR OUR SAILORS TO ENSURE WE CONTINUE PRESERVING COMBAT READINESS AND SAVE LIVES. 4. ALL ADVISORIES IN PARAGRAPH 2 ARE CANCELLED AND SUPERSEDED BY THIS CONSOLIDATION MESSAGE. PARAGRAPH 3 CONTAINS ALL CURRENT NAVSAFECEN AFLOAT GUIDANCE. NAVSAFECEN WILL CANCEL THIS CONSOLIDATED ADVISORY AFTER REF A REVISION IS RELEASED AND PUBLISH INDIVIDUAL SAFETY ADVISORIES FOR REMAINING SAFETY ADVISORIES.// BT #0872 NNNN
