officer   also   coordinates   with   the   electronics material officer to provide qualified personnel of other rates to conduct electrical safety training. ·   Supply Officer —The supply officer ensures all electrical tools received aboard the command are turned over to the electrical tool issue room for  a  safety  inspection  before  they  are  issued.  The supply  officer  must  ensure  items  received  through open purchase or from SERVMART comply with that requirement. · Division Officers —Division officers ensure assigned   personnel   are   trained,   that   training records are maintained, and that electrical equip- ment tools are properly maintained. They ensure portable  electrical  equipment,  such  as  vacuum cleaners,  buffers,  and  coffeepots,  are  electrically checked  at  proper  time  intervals.  They  also  ensure portable electrical tools drawn from the portable electrical tool issue room are returned at the end of  each  workday. · Medical Department —The medical depart- ment  ensures  that  electrical  first  aid  training, especially  cardiopulmonary  resuscitation  (CPR), is  provided  to  divisions  when  requested. · Electrical Safety Petty Officer —The elec- trical safety petty officer works for the electrical safety  officer.  Before  a  person  can  be  assigned as an electrical safety petty officer, he or she must meet  the  following  qualifications: —Complete   a   basic   electrical/electronics school  or  equivalent  training —Be fully qualified in personnel qualification standards  (PQS)  as  ship’s  maintenance  and material  management  (3-M)  (NAVEDTRA 43241E)  watch  station  (301)  maintenance personnel —Be fully qualified in PQS as a division safety petty  officer/electrical  safety  petty  officer (NAVEDTRA   43460-3A) Type  commanders  (TYCOMs)  and  the  ship’s electrical safety instructions can provide additional information about the Electrical Safety Program and  your  responsibilities. Electrical  safety  is  the  responsibility  of  all hands. All Navy members must request permission from  their  division  officer  to  bring  personal electrical/electronic    equipment    aboard.    This equipment  must  be  safety  inspected. Program Elements The Electrical Safety Program consists of the following  seven  elements: Proper  installation,  maintenance,  and repair  of  electrical  equipment Routine and periodic testing to detect and correct  unsafe  equipment Setting  of  portable  electrical  standards Setting  of  electrical  safety  standards Training Proper use of equipment tag-out procedures Control   and   safety   testing   of   personal electrical/electronic   equipment ELECTRICAL   HAZARDS AND  PRECAUTIONS Recognizing  a  hazardous  condition  and  taking immediate steps to correct it is important. Safety posters (fig. 6-1 1) help warn of dangers in working areas or remind personnel to be safety conscious. Warnings  signs  (red)  and  caution  signs  (yellow) should  be  located  where  hazardous  conditions exist. Be aware of areas that are wet or oily or have stumbling hazards. Wear rubber gloves and protective clothing wherever working conditions warrant  it.  Make  it  a  habit  to  look  for  and  to correct  defective  tools  and  equipment,  improper grounding,  and  rotating  machinery  hazards. Handtools Normally, you should have no problems when working  with  handtools.  In  all  likelihood, however,  you  have  seen  some  dangerous  practices in  the  use  of  handtools  that  should  have  been avoided. One unsafe practice involves the use of tools  with  plastic  or  wooden  handles  that  are cracked,  chipped,  splintered,  broken,  or  other- wise unserviceable. This practice is sure to result in accidents and personal injuries, such as cuts, bruises,   and   foreign   objects   being   thrown   in the   eyes.   If   unserviceable   handtools   are   not repairable,  they  should  be  discarded  and  replaced. When  necessary  (in  an  emergency  only)  to improvise  an  insulated  handtool,  use  the  following approved method to protect the user against the 6-22
