Category   III   -   Marginal:   May   cause   minor personnel injury, minor occupational illness, or minor  property  damage. Category IV - Negligible: Probably would not affect   personnel   safety   or   health   but   is nevertheless  in  violation  of  specific  criteria. Step  2:  Identify   corrective   action  —  Our primary   reference   for   preventive   measures   is   the Occupational  Safety  and  Health  Standards  for  the Construction  Industry,  29 CFR PART 1926 and our secondary  reference  being  the   U.S.  Army  Corps  of Engineers  Safety  and  Health  Requirements  Manual, EM 385. Step 3: Obtain   equipment/material/training — The operations department and safety department will provide  assistance  for  setting  up  training  and  any equipment or material necessary for the mishap. Step 4:  Ensure   personnel   awareness — A key to   a   successful   mishap   prevention   program   is personnel   awareness.  The  purpose  of  the  daily  5 minute  stand-up   safety   lecture   is   to   make   sure everyone  is  properly  trained  to  perform  the  task  at hand.   These   lectures   must   address   all   hazards identified  on  NCF  CAS  sheets  or  any  construction  task performed by the Seabees. Step 5:  Proper    supervision  —  The  crew  leader is responsible for making sure the crew members are provided  with  the  proper  training,  equipment,  and material to perform their task. Step 6:  Emergency    response — To ensure that an emergency response is not delayed in the event of a mishap, you must post on the jobsite the location of the   nearest   phone,   a   map   of   the   nearest   medical facility, and emergency phone numbers. Step 7: Investigate and report — Any mishap or near  mishap  must  be  documented  to  minimize  the chance   of   it   happening   again.   Crew   leaders   must initiate a mishap report. Mishap Reporting When a MISHAP occurs in your shop or office or within  your  crew,  you  must  submit  an  accident/mishap report  to  the  safety  officer.  Use  the  sample  message format   shown   in   figure   1-6,   as   described   in OPNAVINST  5102.1. When  you  properly  use  this  report,  it  is  one  of your best mishap prevention tools. In many cases, the difference between a minor mishap and a major one is a matter of good fortune. Do not ignore mishaps that result in small cuts and bruises; investigate the reason for them and correct the cause. If you persist in doing this, you will have a safe and efficient jobsite, shop, or office. Mishap   Investigation Before filling out an accident/mishap report, you must conduct a mishap investigation to get the answer to  questions,  such  as  those  in  the  following  six categories: 1.  Unsafe    conditions.   Was   the   equipment improperly   guarded,   unguarded,   or   inadequately guarded?   Was   the   equipment   or   material   rough, slippery,  sharp-edged,  decayed,  worn,  or  cracked?  Was there  a  hazardous  arrangement,  such  as  congested  work space,  lack  of  proper  lifting  equipment,  or  unsafe planning? Was the proper safety apparel being worn? Were   the   proper   respirators,   goggles,   and   gloves provided? 2. Type of mishap. Did an object strike the person? Did the person fall at the same level or from a different level; or did the person get caught between objects or slip  (not  fall)? 3. Unsafe act. Was the person operating a machine without  proper  authorization  or  at  an  unsafe  speed;  that is,  too  fast  or  too  slow?  Was  a  safety  device  made inoperative;  that  is,  blocked  out  or  removed?  Was  a load made unsafe or were tools or equipment left in an unsafe place where they would fall? Did someone fail to   wipe   oil,   water,   grease,   or   paint   from   working surfaces? Did the injured person take an unsafe position or posture or lift with a bent back or while in an awkward position? Did the person lift jerkily or ride in an unsafe position  on  a  vehicle  or  use  improper  means  of ascending  or  descending?  Was  the  injury  caused  by failure  to  wear  the  provided  safety  attire  or  personal protective  devices,  such  as  goggles,  gloves,  masks, aprons,  or  safety  shoes? 4.  Unsafe   personal   factor.   Was   the   person absentminded   or   inattentive;   unaware   of   safe procedures,   unskilled,   or   unable   to   recognize   a hazardous situation? Did the person fail to understand the  instructions,  regulations,  or  safety  rules.  Did  this person willfully disregard instructions or safety rules; or did this person have a personal weakness, such as poor  eyesight,  defective  hearing,  or  a  hernia? 5. Type or injury. Did the injured person sustain a cut, sprain, strain, hernia, or fracture? 1-16
