Describe the ships actions required for oil spills within the U.S. Contiguous zone.
|
In Navy ports ship's CO shall:
1.Notify shore side NOSC facility CO 2.Notify National response center 3. Take, insofar as practical, immediate actions to mitigate the effects of the spill. 4. Follow up by submitting a naval message. |
In non-Navy ports ship's CO shall:
1.Notify the appropriate shore side NOSC 2.Notify the NRC 3.Take, insofar as practical, immediate actions to mitigate the effects of the spill. Rapid action by the ship’s crew can result in containment and collection of the spill. Shipboard personnel shall use available means to clean up minor spills before requesting assistance from shore-based personnel. 4.Follow up by submitting a naval message. |

|
Describe the actions required for oil spills outside the U.S. contiguous zone.
|
a. Initiate immediate action to mitigate the effects of the spill.
b. Notify the pre-designated fleet Navy On Scene Coordinator, NOSC, by naval message. c. The fleet NOSC shall implement the applicable fleet NOSC Oil and Hazardous Sub stance Spill Response Plan. OHS Spill Response in Waters of Foreign Countries. Ships shall take the following action for Oil or Hazardous Substance, OHS, spill in these waters: a. The ship’s commanding officer shall initiate immediate action to mitigate the effects of the spill. b. The ship’s commanding officer shall immediately notify the pre-designated fleet NOSC and/or shore side NOSC (as defined in governing contingency plans) by naval message. c. The fleet and shore side NOSC shall implement the applicable NOSC Oil and Hazardous Substance Spill Response Plan. |

Discuss the oily waste dischargee limitations in geographic zones and waters other than those of the United States.
|
If equipped with OCM, discharge less than 15 ppm of oil. Ships with Oil Water Separator (OWS) or Bilge Water Processing Tank (BWPT) but no Oil Content Monitor, must process all machinery space bilge water through OWS or BWPT.

Define and discuss the data found on the Material Safety Data Sheet(MSDS).
|
-Composition
-Chemical/ Physical Characteristics -Health and safety hazards -Precautions for safe handling, use and disposal. |

Discuss work center supervisor responsibilities as they pertain to HMC&M
|
-Ensure that approved personal protective clothing and equipment are maintained and used.
-Ensure that prior to initial use or handling any HM, work center personnel have been trained on the hazards associated with that material and are familiar with what an MSDS is, what it contains, and where a copy is available for review. |
|
|
|
Discuss all hands responsibilities as they pertain to HMC&M.
|
-Work center supervisors shall ensure that, prior to using any HM, machining or abrasive cleaning of components containing HM (i.e., beryllium and other heavy metals), personnel under their supervision are trained on the hazards associated with that material and that they have been provided with necessary protective clothing and equipment (i.e., eye protection, respiratory devices, and gloves impermeable to the HM in use).
-Work center supervisors shall ensure that spaces are well ventilated in areas where HM is used or machined. -Upon completion of HM use, return surplus material to its appropriate storage location. -Avoid breathing vapors or dust when using or machining HM. -Avoid contact with the eyes or prolonged contact with skin when using or machining HM. -Prohibit smoking, drinking, or eating in areas where open containers of HM is being used. -Ensure personal protective equipment (eye protection, respiratory devices, gloves impermeable to the HM in use, etc.) is in good operating condition and is readily available to all personnel working with HM. -Use a respirator with appropriate filter when potentially exposed to particulate matter, hazardous gases, or vapors. Consult the MDR for specific guidance in this regard, and for a determination of the need for more stringent respiratory protection requirements. |

|
|
Discuss proper marking hazardous material containers.
|
-Clearly identify the material name
-Manufacturer's name and address -Nature of the hazard presented by the HM including the target organ potentially affected by the material. -May be a tag, sign, placard, or gummed sticker. |

|
Discuss flammable material stowage requirements.
|
Store separately from Oxidizers. Check the Hazmat Compatibility chart, and Incompatible materials charts.
Flammable liquids must be kept in a flammables liquid store room or cabinet. Note that storage of flammable liquids is not allowed in machinery areas.
Rags, paper and wood may not be stored in these areas. However, oily rags are ok.
No open flames or spark producing materials. Mark and label the area. Ensure proper ventilation.
