9 BASIC SAFETY . D0101. DISCUSSION. a. Shipboard life is one of the more hazardous working and living environments that exist. The existence of hazardous materials and equipment, in addition to the fact that a ship is a constantly moving platform subject to conditions such as weather, collision, and grounding contribute to a potentially hazardous environment. Any chain of mishaps could lead to a major catas- trophe. It is for this reason, PRACTICAL SAFETY must be followed and the prescribed SAFETY regulations strictly followed to prevent personal injury and illness. b. As a risk control measure, and a consideration when using operational risk management (ORM) to plan an evolution, consider assigning a SAFETY observer, whose only responsibility is SAFETY , during any deck or seamanship evolution that could injure personnel or damage equipment.

10 This SAFETY observer should be knowledgeable in the proper performance of the evolution. Examples of deck evolutions include: underway replenishment, operation of boat davits, rigging pilot and accommodation ladders, and handling lines. Reference D1-1. contains additional guidance on ORM. c. The general SAFETY standards in the following section are applicable to all shipboard operations and spaces. These standards have been adopted from requirements from the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), the OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY and HEALTH Administration (OSHA), USCG SAFETY of Life at Sea (SOLAS), American National Standards Institute (ANSI), and previous OPNAV.
