MTS 101 Safety Fundamentals Flashcards
Explain these parts of the five step process as they apply to ORM: Identify Hazards, Assess Hazards, Make Risk Decisions, Implementing Controls, Supervising
Identifying Hazards: (1) Analyze the Mission. (2) List the Hazards. (3) Determine the Hazard Root Cause.
Assessing Hazards: (1) Severity. (2) Probability. (3) Complete Risk Assessment. (4) Risk Assessment Pitfalls.
Making Risk Decisions: (1) Identify Control Options. (2) Determine Control Effects. (3) Make Risk Decisions.
Implementing Controls: (1) Plan is clearly communicated. (2) Accountability is established. (3) Necessary support is provided.
Supervising: (1) Monitoring the effectiveness of controls. (2) Determining the need for further assessment. (3) Capturing lessons learned.
Define “high-risk” course.
Elevated probability of loss or an increased level of severity is likely or imminent. May imply a dangerous situation.
What type of courses are considered “high-risk”?
Courses with potential risks of death, permanent disability, or loss during training.
Discuss the difference between voluntary and involuntary courses.
Voluntary - Training in which a sailor has voluntarily enrolled and has the ability to Drop On Request and return to his/her original rating.
Discuss what Drop On Request “DOR” is and the procedures for conducting one.
To quit. Immediately removed from the course. A written summary of action taken is entered in the student’s service record and a copy is maintained in the command’s permanent records.
Discuss what Training Time Out “TTO” is and the procedures for conducting one.
Any situation when students or instructors express concern for personal safety or a need to clarify procedures or requirements. Training will cease until environment is returned to a safe state.
Discuss the purpose of the Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and how often must it be reviewed for accuracy on information. Identify the periodic requirements for fully exercising the EAP. How often is it to be fully exercised?
implemented immediately upon advent of a mishap to control and/or safeguard the scene. must include at minimum: primary and alternate communications, telephone numbers, radio channels, call signs, locations of emergency response personnel, locations of emergency equipment, equipment shut down procedures, muster site and methods to maintain control of the scene, non-affected personnel, and all immediate procedures. Conduct quarterly procedural walk-through(s) and fully exercise and validate emergency action plans (EAPs) annually.
Discuss periodic requirements for safety stand-downs.
At a minimum one safety stand-down per year.
Discuss the following as it pertains to “high-risk” instructor. Mishap reporting; Site augment plans; Special course indicator code; Core unique instructor training; Instructor screening process; Evaluation process; Training safety officer
Mishap reporting: Report and record all training related mishaps and injuries.
Site augment plans: CCA develop site augment plans with unique training situations.
Special course indicator code: Voluntary training. Code of “A” or “D.” Coded in CeTARS.
Core unique instructor training: designed to prepare the instructor to teach in a high-risk course.
Instructor screening process: (1) Service record screen. (2) Physical Requirements. (3) Medical officer Interview. (4) CO’s interview.
Evaluation Process: Establish an evaluation program that assesses high-risk instructors in a classroom and laboratory or field setting on a recurrent basis, in percentages commensurate with the amount of time spent instructing in those environments.
Training safety officer: …
Discuss the importance of heat/cold stress, monitoring, and control in a training environment.
The importance is based upon prior conditioning, activity level of the training to ensure Sailors are prepared to participate in the activity and mitigate potential loss of life.
