Examples are aircraft embarkation (PRCP 902), M-16 rifle use and familiarization, disaster recovery, and heavy  rescue  (PRCP  979). 5. Crew   Experience   Skills   (PRCP   1000A- 1010A).  These  skills  are  attained  by  working  with others on specific projects. Most of these projects are related  to  advanced  base  construction,  such  as  an observation  tower  (PRCP  1002A),  fire  fighting  (PRCP 1009A),  and  bunker  construction  (PRCP  1008A). A skill inventory has three principal steps. First, each  skill  is  accurately  defined  and  broken  down  into task  elements.  Second,  a  standard  procedure  for obtaining   the   information   is   developed.   This procedure   helps   to   ensure   that   the   information, regardless of where it is collected or by whom, meets standards of acceptability. The third step is the actual collection of the skill data and includes the procedures for submitting the data to the data bank. When you become a crew leader, it will be your responsibility to your crew members to provide them with the opportunity to learn new skills. This can be done through training or by assigning your crew to various  types  of  work  whenever  possible.  You  and your crew members can gain a higher skill level by determining  the  training  requirements  needed  and satisfying  them.  Then  you,  as  the  crew  leader,  should report  these  newly  acquired  skills  to  the  PRCP coordinator, who will add them to your other skills and to  the  skills  of  each  crew  member.  It  is  your responsibility to see that this skill information is kept current and accurate. For additional information on the   PRCP   program,   interview   techniques,   and procedures,  refer  to  the  NCF/SEABEE  1  and  C, NAVEDTRA  12543. SAFETY PROGRAM As a petty officer, you must be familiar with the safety program at your activity. You cannot perform effectively as a petty officer unless you are aware of the  importance  of  the  safety  program.  You  should know  who  (or  what  group)  comprises  and  establishes the safety policies and procedures you must follow. You  should  also  know  who  provides  guidelines  for safety training and supervision. Every NCF/NMCB unit and shore command are required to implement a formal  safety  organization. In the Seabees, everyone is responsible for safety. According  to  the   NCF  Safety  Manual,  C O M - SECONDNCB/COMTHIRDNCBINST   5100.1 (series),  the  battalion  safety  office  administers  the battalion   safety   program   and   provides   technical guidance.  Overall  guidance  comes  from  the  Navy Occupational  Safety  and  Health  Program  Manual (NAVOSH),  OPNAVINST  5100.23  (series).  If  you have any questions concerning safety on the jobsite, the  safety  office  is  the  place  to  get  your  questions answered. It is not the responsibility of the safety office to prevent  you  from  doing  something  you  know  or suspect is unsafe, but they do have the authority to stop any  operation  where  there  is  impending  DANGER  of injury   to   personnel   or   damage   to   equipment   or property.  Safe  construction  is  your  responsibility,  and ignorance  is  no  excuse.  It  is  your  responsibility  to construct  safely. SAFETY  ORGANIZATION The safety organization of the NMCB provides for (1) the establishment of safety policy and (2) control and reporting. As shown in figure 1-6, the Battalion Safety Policy Organization is made up of the policy committee,  supervisors’  committee,  equipment,  shop, and   crew   committees.   The   SAFETY   POLICY COMMITTEE  is  presided  over  by  the  executive officer.  Its  primary  purpose  is  to  develop  safety  rules and policy for the battalion. This committee reports to the  commanding  officer,  who  must  approve  all changes  in  safety  policy. The SAFETY SUPERVISORS’ COMMITTEE is presided  over  by  the  battalion’s  safety  chief  and includes  safety  supervisors  assigned  by  company commanders, project officers, or officers in charge of detail. This committee provides a convenient forum for  work  procedures,  safe  practices,  and  safety suggestions.  Its  recommendations  are  sent  to  the policy  committee. The   EQUIPMENT,   SHOP,   AND   CREW COMMITTEES  are  assigned  as  required.  Each Figure 1-6.—The Safety Organization Chart of the NMCB. 1-9
