FOREWORD

One of the Naval Safety Center's primary goals is to assist

the fleet in achieving a safe and healthful work environment. To
accomplish this we conduct periodic safety surveys on board
afloat units. The check lists used during the survey contain
current requirements as identified by the references listed with
each item.

This booklet is intended for forces afloat at the deckplate

level. Its purpose is to give cognizant personnel a ready
reference to resource information that will aid in identifying
and eliminating recurring discrepancies. Wherever possible a
reference has been supplied with each item. The information in
this booklet is not all inclusive, nor is it intended to be.

Attention to detail and responsible action are the necessary

elements of a viable safety program.

 COMMON DISCREPANCIES

These are common discrepancies found in the combat systems area. A

synopsis of the question is followed by the item number from the
Combat Systems Survey Check List in parenthesis.

A brief discussion of the fix is provided. The complete requirement

and applicable references are listed in the combat systems survey
checklist.

1. Man-aloft instruction does not meet the minimum criteria. (A1D0)

Refs: OPNAVINST 3120.32C AND 5100.19.

Tag-outs are required for man-aloft. Man-aloft placards can be

used at remote sites but the equipment being worked on, rotating
equipment and antennae that exceed PELs in the work area must be
"DANGER" tagged.

2. Required signs/placards not posted in spaces containing

electronic equipment. (A2A0) Refs: GSO 602, GSS 403, 300.

Danger High Voltage signs are required to be posted at each

entrance to the space. This can either be on the door or
conspicuously posted within the entrance.
Electrical Safety Precautions, Electronic Safety Precautions and a
four step CPR placard are also required in each space. We recommend
the CPR placard be mounted close to the deck for ease of use in an
emergency.

3. Fixed and portable nitrogen bottles and emergency destruct

equipment are not "Grade B" shock mounted. (A3Q0) (A3R0) (A3S0) Ref:
GSO 072.

All compressed gas bottles and emergency destruct equipment

requires mounting which prevents vertical and horizontal movement.
For compressed gas bottles this means a belly band around the bottle
and a collar at the top of the bottle.

4. Lithium batteries not stowed properly, expired shelf life and

personnel not aware of the hazards of lithium batteries. (A1G0) Refs:
Tech Man S9310-AG-SAF-010, EIMB 0100, MIP 4415/004 MRC S-9.

See article on page 13.

8
5. Climber safety rails poorly maintained. (A3F0). Refs: GSS/GSO
622, NAVSHIPS DWG 804-4563125 REV C, MIP 6231 or H-313.

Rails should be free of all paint and corrosion and have a LIGHT
coating of machine oil to help prevent corrosion. It's also
important to ensure that all climber safety rails on the ship are on
an EGL and maintained properly. We often find that the rails on the
masts are in good condition but rails on the stacks, kingposts and
cranes are in very poor shape.
The hole at the top of the rail is for a retaining pin to prevent
the climber safety sleeve from inadvertently coming off the top of
the rail. Ensure the pin is there and replaced after each use!

6. Unauthorized computer surge suppressors onboard. (B1P0) Refs:

NSTM 300, MIP 3000/001.

See article on page 16. Another major problem we see is

unauthorized equipment plugged into the surge suppressors. Surge
suppressors are for computer equipment ONLY and are not to be used as
extension cords for personnel gear, pencil sharpeners, VCR's etc.

7. Ship not in compliance with current tag-out directives. (A1C0)

Ref: TUM.

Ship not executing tag-outs IAW the Tag-out Users Manual (TUM).
Discrepancies include: Ship does not have the latest version of the
TUM. Revision one dated July 2003 is the latest version. Tags not
hanging on breaker or fuse panel identified on the tag. Tag has not
been signed by second person checking tag. Authorizing Officers
signature missing. Tags cleared without authorization of repair
activity. Tag-out record sheet incomplete. Recommend reviewing tag
logs and installing most current version of the TUM. Ref: Tag-Out
User Manual Rev 1, OPNAVINST 3120.32C PARA 630.17.

8. General Safety Shorting Probes in poor condition. (B1A0) Refs:

MIP 3000/100.

The general safety shorting probes, 25kv and 7.5kv, have PMS. We
find the PMS not installed and the probes missing parts, corroded,
cracked and generally unsafe for use.

9. Electronic Workbenches are not electrically safe. (B1B0) Refs:

NSTM 300 Rev 6, MIP 6652/006.

9
 The electronic workbenches should be installed in accordance with
NSTM 300 appendix H. MIP 6652/006 should be carried to ensure
compliance with PMS standards.

10. Electrical grade rubber matting not installed properly. (A3B0)

Ref: NSTM 634.

See article on page 10. PRC is not a NAVSEA-approved electrical

deck covering.

10
 REQUIRED ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC WORKBENCH (E/EWB) SIGNS

Section 665 of General Specifications for Overhaul (GSO) requires a

CPR placard and the following two signs posted at each E/EWB. Signs
shall be IAW GSO Section 602. Additionally, NAVSEA has provided
guidance for inspection and repair of workbenches to keep them safe.
This is detailed in their message DTG 150316Z APR 96.

 ELECTRICAL GRADE MATTING OVER REMOVABLE DECK PLATES

1. Clarification of the procedures regarding the installation of

portable electrical grade matting over removable aluminum deck
plating is provided. This information is found in Naval Ships'
Technical Manual (NSTM) S9086-VD-STM-000/CH-631, Preservation of
Ships in Service and NSTM S9086-VG-STM-010/CH-634, Deck Coverings.

2. NSTM Chapter 631, Section 631-7.104, "Decks for which coverings

are specified do not require painting." It goes on to give aluminum
false decking as an example. NSTM 634-3.12.6 says that priming
interior aluminum false deck plates is not required.

3. Where electrical grade matting is installed without cement, as in

CIC, the deck must be stenciled with an outline of the mat and
"Electrical grade mat required within marked lines." If electrical
grade matting is installed throughout a space, painting an outline of
the area is not required, however, the caution stated above must be
stenciled on the deck such that if any section of matting is removed,
the words shall be clearly visible. NSTM CH 634 refers.

ELECTRICAL GRADE MATTING AROUND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT

1. Naval Ships' Technical Manual (NSTM), Chapter 634 explains the

requirements for electrical grade matting around electronic
equipment, in front of electronic/electrical workbenches, and other
areas where personnel may come in contact with energized circuits
while standing on bare decks. Most of these areas have the matting
already installed. If the deck is not entirely covered there must be
at least 36 inches of coverage surrounding the equipment.

2. Equipment located outdoors which may require maintenance while

energized such as the AN/SLQ-32 antennas and the MK 15 close-in
weapons system (CIWS) also require electrical grade matting. Since
these items of equipment are exposed to the weather, it is imperative
that the technician utilize a dry electrical grade mat to stand on
while performing the maintenance.

3. The procedures are simple. Lay the rubber matting where you
would normally stand while performing maintenance. Use the entire 36
inches of the rubber matting if you can or trim it to fit a smaller
platform. Paint the outline of the rubber matting on the deck with a
yellow line, 2 inches wide. Inside the marked line stencil,

"ELECTRICAL GRADE MATTING REQUIRED WITHIN MARKED LINES"

13
Every time you do maintenance, put the mat in place. When the
maintenance is complete, roll and stow the mat inside until needed
again.

14
4. When electrical grade matting is installed in the entire space
but is not cemented to the deck, the precaution "ELECTRICAL GRADE
MATTING REQUIRED WITHIN MARKED LINES" shall be stenciled in one-inch
letters on the deck so that if any single section is removed, the
precaution will become visible.

5. In spaces where the matting does not cover the whole space,
cementing the mat is not required for personnel safety. However, the
yellow outline and legend described above for outdoor equipment must
be present.

6. Electrical grade matting should be installed so that there are no

seams within three feet of an electrical hazard. Where this is not
possible, the seams should be: fused chemically or heat welded, have
4" of PVC tape underneath, or a 12" section of electrical grade
matting centered under the seam. The chemical or heat process does
not work on the Flexiflor Deck covering manufactured by RCA Rubber
Company. All Flexiflor seams will have 4 inches of PVC tape applied
to the deck beneath the seam.
Stock number for this tape is provided in this handout.

7. Electrical grade deck matting may be waxed. Stock numbers for

the approved materials are contained in the stock number section of
this handout. General care for matting is as follows:

a. Ensure that the legs of chairs and other movable objects are
properly equipped with rubber tips to prevent scratching and denting.

b. Avoid dragging heavy objects across resilient covering unless

protected.

c. Do not use salt water to clean.

d. Do not use an excess of water, strong alkaline soaps, strong

alkalis, lye, rough abrasives, or very hot water.

e. Never paint, varnish or shellac the matting.

f. Protect matting with cloth or flame retardant paper during

space paint-outs. Protect matting with heavy paper during overhaul
or repair periods.

15
 USE OF TRICHLOROTRIFLUOROETHANE

1. The use of trichlorotrifluoroethane was discontinued in 1985 by

NAVOP 122/85. We continue to find trichlorotrifluoroethane aboard
ships. Trichlorotrifluoroethane is also known by the following:

1, 1, 2-TRICHLORO - 1, 2, 2-TRIFLUOROETHANE
FREON 113
REFRIGERANT 113
GENESOLV D
FREON PCA
FREON TF
CLEANING COMPOUND, SOLVENT, TRICHLOROTRIFLUOROETHANE (MIL-C-81302)
CLEANING COMPOUND S

2. Activities shall immediately cease use of this material for

applications where current Navy technical instructions specify an
alternative.

3. In the cases where the in-service engineering agent (ISEA) has

determined that there is no suitable substitute, the following
warning appears on the MRC and should be adhered to closely.
"Warning: Trichlorotrifluoroethane vapor is hazardous and can cause
death if too much is breathed."

4. All commands must be aware of the hazards of

trichlorotrifluoroethane:

a. Vapor from one pint of liquid evaporated in a small room is

nearly odorless but immediately dangerous to life or health. In case
of spill, warn others to leave the area immediately.

b. Avoid breathing vapor. Avoid skin and eye contact.

c. Do not use in open baths. Use minimal amounts with good

ventilation.

d. When used indoors, do not rely upon oxygen deficiency monitor

to warn of dangerous concentrations of trichlorotrifluoroethane.
Have at least two people present at all times with one as an
observer. Have emergency escape breathing devices available for
immediate use.

e. Do not enter places where trichlorotrifluoroethane is stored

until ventilated and air sample verifies that it is safe.

16
 f. Excess amounts of trichlorotrifluoroethane should be
containerized for shore disposal and should be kept separate from
chlorinated solvents. OPNAVINST 5090.1B applies.

17
 LITHIUM SULFUR DIOXIDE BATTERY STOWAGE

Ref: a) Electronics Installation and Maintenance Book (EIMB)-

General, paragraph 3-6.3

b) Batteries, Navy Lithium Safety Program Responsibilities

and Procedures (S9310-AQ-SAF-010)

c) Naval Ships' Technical Manual (NSTM) 555, paragraph 555-

5.4.8

If mishandled or abused, lithium batteries used in the AN/PRC-96

can vent sulfur-dioxide gas. When sulfur dioxide reacts with water,
sulfuric acid is formed. If you breath sulfur-dioxide gas there is
enough water in your lungs for this chemical action to occur. The
only two possible results of this chemical reaction in your lungs;
death or permanent injury.

Despite the disadvantages, lithium batteries have several

advantages that make them desirable for certain shipboard
applications:

High cell voltage

High energy density
Wide temperature operating range
Flat discharge characteristics
Excellent shelf life

The probability of equipment damage or personal injury through

mishandling and improper storage of lithium batteries is high.
Caution must be exercised in all areas concerned with handling
lithium batteries. Lithium batteries and lithium battery powered
equipment must be handled and stored in compliance with the
requirements in the appropriate equipment documents.

Store lithium batteries in their original shipping containers in

a cool, well ventilated shelter. Isolate the storage area from other
hazardous and combustible material. Some equipment provide specific
storage space within the equipment case for spare batteries.

Since most of the documented mishaps have occurred with partially

or fully discharged lithium batteries, remove them from their
associated equipment upon completion of their useful life. The
exposed terminals shall be insulated to prevent short circuits and
batteries turned in for appropriate disposal.

18
 At sea, dispose of batteries overboard in deep water (in excess
of 100 fathoms) outside of the prohibited zone (50 mile limit). In
port, dispose of ashore in accordance with federal, state, and local
base environmental regulations for used hazardous material.

Additional guidance can be found in reference b.

If a lithium battery explodes or causes a fire, you should

immediately evacuate the space and notify DC Central. Do not attempt
to fight a possible lithium fire with CO2, Halon, or PKP. Adverse
secondary reactions will occur! Water combined with burning lithium
results in decomposition of the water into hydrogen and oxygen.
Liberated hydrogen may ignite violently if confined and allowed to
reach its lower explosive limit. The batteries for the PRC-96 are
small and the chances of generating enough hydrogen to cause an
explosion are small, but you must ensure that the fire party is
informed of all possible hazards, including the possibility of
encountering sulfuric acid during clean-up operations.

WARNING

Lithium batteries or cells are potential hazards if misused,

tampered with before, during or after discharge. Lithium
batteries have exploded while rapidly discharging and up to 30
minutes after discharge. Whether fresh or discharged, lithium
batteries SHALL NOT be pierced, crushed, burned, intentionally
dropped, cannibalized, dismantled, modified or otherwise
carelessly handled nor shall they be short circuited, charged, or
used in any other equipment then specified.

19
 WORKING ALOFT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The necessity to work aloft occurs frequently, the procedure

should never be considered, nor allowed to become, routine.

Paragraph C0802 and C0804 of OPNAVINST 5100.19, states in detail

the precautions/procedures for working aloft.

"Do not go aloft on masts, macks, stacks, or kingposts without

first obtaining written permission from the OOD in the form of a
locally prepared working aloft checklist."

A properly prepared working aloft checklist ensures that the

precautions and procedures for working aloft are followed and
completed in a careful and exact manner. Although working aloft
procedures vary from ship to ship depending upon the type and number
of equipment installed, a sample checklist is contained in Appendix
C8-A of OPNAVINST 5100.19. Supervisors and personnel concerned with
working aloft should become familiar with this checklist and all the
procedures contained in Chapter C8 of OPNAVINST 5100.19., including
the requirement to have a completely dressed out safety observer
(harness, sleeve, working and safety lanyards) stationed on deck.

Regularly scheduled training on this material is a must in the

divisional training plan. Officers of the Deck should review this
material periodically. It is recommended that ships include this
material in the Officer of the Deck required reading folder.

Harnesses, climber sleeves, and lanyards used for work aloft

should be controlled and issued from a single point on board.
Additionally, harnesses and climber sleeves should be serialized to
facilitate documentation of accomplished PMS and inventory.

The equipment to be worked on, and all rotating equipment in the

vicinity must be tagged-out IAW OPNAVINST 5100.19D. All other
equipment must be secured with placards hung to prevent transmission
while personnel are aloft. The latest RADHAZ survey should be used
to design a tag-out matrix.

 COMPUTER SURGE SUPPRESSORS

Reference: Ships' Safety Bulletin (August 1994)

NSTM Chapter 300
COMNAVSUPSYSCOM 180106Z APR 94

You can order approved computer surge suppressors using

NSN 6150-01-362-7192.

These surge suppressors are stamped "Suitable for shipboard use" and
bear the label of a nationally recognized testing laboratory, such as
Underwriters Laboratories Incorporated. Approved surge suppressors
have the following technical characteristics: Provide transient
protection suitable for an ungrounded system, metallic enclosure,
double pole main power switch circuit breaker, six receptacles, and a
six foot permanently attached cord.

The following models of surge suppressors were previously authorized

for shipboard use, may still be in the stock system, but are not
stamped "Suitable for shipboard use". These five models ARE STILL
AUTHORIZED:

1. Brooks Power Systems, INC., Model Z6-6(2P)

2. DSK, INC. Navy Controller V, Model DSK-5000
3. EFI Electronics Corp., Model MPS 453 EFI 120
4. EFI Electronics Corp., Model MPS-6
5. International Power Technologies (IPT) Model Navy Controller
V.

Surge suppressors are authorized for computer and peripheral use

ONLY. A maximum of 13 amps can be drawn per surge suppressor into
the ship's isolated receptacle circuitry IAW NSTM 300. Be familiar
with NSTM 300 REV 3 article [Link] to determine if you must provide
for a seperate circuit for the computer system. ONLY one surge
suppressor can be plugged into an isolated receptacle circuit. Surge
suppressors are covered by PMS under MIP 3000/001, MRC A-4R.

Most surge suppressors for households and shore facilities have a

single pole circuit breaker which only opens the one "hot" line on a
grounded electrical system. On board Navy ships (an ungrounded
electrical system) both input lines are "hot" and unauthorized surge
suppressors do not secure all power to the equipment even with the
circuit breaker OFF. These unauthorized surge suppressors pose a

serious shock and fire hazard and must be replaced with an approved
surge suppressor.

 EMERGENCY ILLUMINATION

Ref: Naval Ships' Technical Manual (NSTM-330, Rev. 1)

Emergency illumination is provided for all spaces and interior

watch stations where, because of functional requirements, continuous
illumination is essential and personnel are to remain on duty.
Emergency illumination is provided by:

1. Fixtures which are normally illuminated and automatically

shift to an emergency (or alternate) source of power in the event of
failure of the normal voltage supply (see paragraphs NSTM 330-1.90
through 330-1.95).

2. Fixtures which are powered from the ships' battery and are
energized automatically when AC power is not available for the normal
lighting (see paragraphs NSTM-330-1.96 through 330-1.100).

3. Self-contained battery operated lighting devices such as

portable lanterns and flashlights.

Relay lanterns (with yellow plastic case, symbol 101.2 for 115VDC
or symbol 108 for 230 VDC) installed throughout the ship can provide
limited illumination when other sources fail. These have the
following uses and applications:

1. Prevent panic and personal injury which might occur in total

darkness.

2. Mark escape routes (both normal and emergency).

3. Permit charging of fixed foam injection units.

4. Permit emergency destruction of classified material.

5. Permit restoration of electric power.

6. Permit operation of locks on facilities installed for stowage

of classified material.

7. Permit performance of ship control functions or continued

medical treatment where no delay can be tolerated.

24
 Relay lanterns are installed for the foregoing purposes in
accordance with the following requirements:

1. Manned machinery spaces, and unmanned spaces containing

machinery having a deck area greater than 200 square feet, shall have
one lantern for access, companionway, escape trunk, and essential
passageway.
2. Escape passages and companionways leading from compartments
where personnel are stationed or quartered shall have lanterns
installed to illuminate accesses, emergency escape panels
(compartment sides), escape side of scuttles, the top of scuttles
opening into walking areas, ladders, trunks, companionways, and
passageways.

3. Long passageways shall have one lantern for each watertight

division, or approximately each 40 feet. Dead end passageways
exceeding 20 feet in length and structural or machinery arrangements
that may be a hazard to the ready flow of traffic in an emergency
shall have one lantern at each such location.

4. One lantern shall be installed at each applicable ship

control station such as electrical switchboards and generators,
steering and diving panel, engine and fire room gage-board, control
benchboard, propulsion and boiler control, boiler water gauges, and
equipment associated with steering.

5. One lantern shall be installed at each fixed foam injection

station.

6. One lantern shall be installed in each space containing

hazards to personnel (such as laundry dry-cleaning room, and shops
having rotating machinery).

7. One lantern shall be installed for each 900 square feet of

troop living space to illuminate aisles between berths.

8. One lantern shall be installed over the access door inside

each refrigerated storeroom.

9. Lanterns shall be installed to illuminate safes and cabinets

designated for stowage of classified material.

NOTE: Safes in staterooms are not designated for stowage of

classified material.

25
 10. Lanterns shall be installed in the disbursing office and post
office to illuminate safes.

11. Lanterns installed in red-lighted areas, except those

installed in escape routes, shall have red lenses, NSN
6230-00-969-3918.

12. Lanterns installed in passageways and at the foot of ladders

shall be mounted so that the light beam shines approximately 30
degrees below the horizontal eye level. In other locations, lanterns
shall be mounted to illuminate the principle work areas and accesses
or escape hatches for which they are intended without removing the
lanterns from their mounting brackets.

Relay lanterns are installed for these purposes. They are not
specifically to provide detail illumination, nor to illuminate the
following spaces:

1. Spaces having door switch controlled illumination unless the

lanterns can be located so that no light is visible outboard. (In
such spaces, portable lanterns may be substituted where relay
lanterns would otherwise be required.)

2. Locations where explosion-proof enclosures are required.

Lanterns shall be mounted so the relay mechanism is at the top.

The relay for the lantern is connected to the lighting power supply
for the compartment where the lantern is installed.

Portable lanterns, symbol 100.2 are used to supplement relay

lanterns and at other stations where duties involve the functional
operation of the ship. Portable lanterns shall be used in accordance
with the following requirements:

1. Stations and small spaces which are only used occasionally

(except such spaces as staterooms and lockers), shall have one
lantern.

2. In ship magazines, lanterns shall be installed so there is

one to illuminate each access closure and one to illuminate each
passing scuttle. One additional lantern per 200 square feet shall be
installed, preferably on stanchions, to illuminate aisle spaces.

26
 3. In cargo magazines four lanterns shall be installed at each
access.

4. Lanterns shall be installed to provide detail illumination of

item such as table tops and information displays, where such
illumination is required to perform ship control functions, and where
a slight delay can be tolerated.

Battle lantern batteries can leak caustic liquids which may

produce serious eye injury or skin irritation. Be careful when
removing batteries and wear the prescribed protective equipment
listed on the PMS card.

27
 SAFETY NETS

Trunk Safety Nets: Safety nets fitted in trunks shall be portable and
sized, so that when installed, the sag with no weight on the net will
be approximately four inches. Installation of portable safety nets
in trunks shall not preclude the installation of portable lifelines
and stanchions around access openings.

Nets shall not be installed in machinery escape trunks.

Vertical ladders in trunks, longer than 17 feet shall be protected
with portable safety nets.
