Front 17

The lead trade and ships force ask if your divers could witness the raising and lowering of the SPM on a SPM inspection TGI. What do you tell them?

Back 17

- Ensure the proper Industrial Process Instruction (IPI) is referenced in the TGI for a Potentially Dangerous Evolution (PDE). If it is not then a DL needs to be submitted to include the proper IPI.

Front 18

During a ballasting evolution for a cable pass through from MBT 4 A/B or 5 A/B to the surface the diver reports the hull penetrator is not underwater. What is your course of action?

Back 18

- Instruct the diver to not dissemble the penetrator. Immediately notify the SDO and the SOSO for further guidance.

Front 19

During a ballasting evolution for a cable pass through from the upper level of the forward MBT’s, 1 A/B 2 A/B or 3A/B, the diver reports the hull penetrator is not underwater. What is your course of action?

Back 19

- Ensure the MBT is vented to atmospheric pressure. This can be accomplished by having the ships force open a vent path to surface through the bridal blow or taking the depth on the diver in the MBT using the pneumofathometer.

Front 20

A civilian gets a deep cut on his hand from a piece of metal while tending. What are you as a supervisor required to do?

Back 21

- Tell him not to re-connect the grease line. Assist the mechanic in submitting a DL/DR, it is an existing condition outside the scope of the TGI.

Front 22

Before entering a MBT how do you verify 2 valve protection?

Back 22

- Ask the Ships Duty Officer to show on the SOMS the valves red tagged for two valve protection. These valves can be verified using the EMBT piping diagram. If there are any questions seek clarification from C/246.

Back 32

Provide medical assistance as required and take steps to prevent anyone else form being shocked. Anyone who has received an electrical shock must be evaluated by medical personnel.

What steps do you take if an “undesirable event” happens during work, i.e. Wrong MBT flooded, valve in wrong position, unplanned cycling of ships equipment?

Back 33

- Stop the evolution in progress. Direct divers/ships force to put the system in a safe condition.
Notify SDO/CDO, Code 246, Lead Trade, Code 760 and Safety of Ship Officer (FMR/FMB) or Ships Safety officer (CNO)
