24
Q

EART Protocol: Medical dept rep

A

implements the asbestos medical surveillance program

25
asbestos identification process
the industrial hygiene dept must identify any hazard associated with asbestos and proved recommended actions to the ship
26
what are acceptable methods of identifying asbestos fibers:
Polarized Light Microscopy or transfer electron microscopy.
27
basic principles of controlling asbestos hazards
substitution with less hazardous materials, approved by NAVSEASYCOM. removal should be performed by shore facility
28
engineering controls of asbestos
isolation | ventilation
29
administrative controls of asbestos hazards
ship will prohibit use of administrative controls (personnel rotation) keep exposure below permissible exposure limit
30
PPE for asbestos work
- full body, one piece disposable coveralls (TYVEK) - M weight rubber gloves with under glove for perspiration absorption - slip resistant plastic shoes or polyethylene shoes covered with slip resistant soles - safety goggles - respiratory protection
31
ASMP inclusion criteria
identification of medical conditions which may increase risk of impairment based on PAST HISTORY and or CURRENT/POTENTIAL exposure to asbestos placement in AMSP is dependent on industrial hygiene sampling data and the determination of the medical dept representative
32
asbestos workers training requirements
EART personnel: Emergency Asbestos Response Team (A 760 2166) Respiratory fit testing
33
how longs is the asbestos response team course
2 day formal course
34
who conducts the respirator fit testing
respiratory protection manager, it is informal training
35
exposure limit for asbestos
Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) is .1 fibers per cubic centimeter (f/cc) of air, calculated as an 8 hour time weighted average (TWA) exposure
36
Excursion Limit (EL)
the EL is 1.0 f/cc averaged over 30 min sampling period
37
notification requirements for asbestos exposure
physician written option
38
what is included in a physicians written opinion
medical conditions that would increase risk limitations recommendations statement of employee education
39
how is the physicians written opinion distributed
signed copy to health record copy to member and command w/in 30 days note shall not include findings or diagnosis unrelated to asbestos
40
required documentation for removal from AMSP
documentation must be on a SF 600
41
record retention requirements of asbestos exposure
shipboard records transferred to shore medical facility for retention following transfer, discharge or retirement.
42
if a ship changes homeport what shall happen to the file maintained for that ships asbestos exposure
the file will be forwarded to the new supporting shore medical facility upon decommissioning the record is forwarded to BUMED
43
how should the health record be marked
exterior of the HR must be prominently marked "ASBESTOS" in 1 inch letter or mark block on HR jacket in Bold, Black Indelible Ink.
44
documentation in the AMSP
Pre printed SF600 (Medical Matrix) * OPNAV 5100/15 Part IV, Medical Department Determination DD 2493-1, Initial Medical questionnaire DD 2493-2, Periodic Medical Questionnaire NAVMED 6260/5, Periodic Health Evaluation, Hx and PE * NAVMED 6260/7, AMSP x ray interpretation for pneumoconiosis Physicians written opinion * spirometry data
