TRAINING AND CLASS C SCHOOLS:
|
The Coast Guard employs two types of training:
Resident Non-resident Non-resident are correspondence courses like BM1, AST2, etc. They are: Self paced Completed when time is available May or may not have a completion date Resident schools take place in a classroom with specific beginning and end dates A short-term training request is used to place you in the class Funding is also requested for: Travel to School Temporary lodging Meals while assigned |
|
|
The procurement request/process rapidly (PR) is the
|
funding document that provides the Contracting Officer (KO) with the authority to begin the acquisition process
|
|
|
In order for the requisition to be valid, it must:
|
Be numbered properly
Contain appropriation and accounting data Have a valid signature |
|
|
In addition you must provide:
|
Government estimate
Statement of work Specifications and drawings |
|
|
The single most important signature on the PR is the
|
certifications of funds availability
|
|
|
Sources of supply are suggested,
|
the KO is responsible for source selection
|
|
|
If sole source is the only way
|
then a Justification Of Other Than Full and Open Competition is required
|
|
|
PRs for HAZMAT must be reviewed by the
|
unit PPC
|
|
|
The JOTFOC is
|
written determination to restrict competition
|
|
|
Things to consider when completing a PR:
|
Does it contain recycled materials?
Is it a micro purchase? Less than $2500(3000) only needs a single source of supplyIs it a construction request? Limited to $2000 |
|
|
SWE PDE
|
Provide information to SWE candidates
Adjudicate waiver requests Distribute the exam’s score and results Publish the advancement eligibility list |
|
|
Your PDE includes:
|
CO’s recommendation
Awards received Enlisted evaluations Sea duty Creditable sea time Time in service/rate EOCT results Relevant qual codes Eligibility status Most common problems are inaccurate sea duty points, missing data, or missing award points. |
|
|
WORKING ON OR AROUND MACHINERY:
|
All machinery with moving parts that can injure the operator must have installed safeguards
Most common hazards are flywheels, shafts, clutches, and winches |
|
|
USING HAND AND POWER TOOLS
|
Tools are produced with safety in mind but are not hazard-free
Injury is more common because so many people are familiar with these tools Six basic safety rules for hand and power tools: Keep all tools in good condition Use the right tool for the job Examine each tool for damage before use Operate according to the operator’s instructions Provide and use the proper PPE Tag defective tools “Do Not Use” and immediately remove them from service |
|
|
HAND TOOLS:
|
Non-powered: axes, hammers, screwdrivers etc.
|
|
|
POWER TOOLS:
Electrical tools: |

The seven steps to ORM are:
|
Define mission tasks
Identify hazards Assess risk Identify options Evaluate risk vs. gain Execute decision Monitor situation |
|
|
Define mission/tasks:
|
Review current and planned operations describing the mission at hand
Construct a chart of major Break down the operation into smaller pieces |
|
|
Identify the Hazards:
|
Equipment
Environment Personnel |
|
|
Assess Risk:
|
Utilize the GAR or SPE model to assess risk
The GAR model (Green, Amber, Red) covers Planning Supervision Team selection Team fitness Environment Task complexity |
|
|
Identify Options:
|
Using the highest risk identify alternatives to proceed with mission
|
|
|
Evaluate Risk vs. Gain:
|
Determine if the benefits of the mission out weigh the risk associated with the mission
Ensure the Chain of Command is included on all high risk decisions |
|
|
Execute the Decision:
|
Take action
|
|
|
Monitor the Situation:
|
Are the controls and risks balanced?
Are changes to the operation, equipment, environment effective in lowering risk? |
|
|
A mishap is
|
an unplanned event or series of events that may result in death, injury, or occupational illness
