Chapter  2—ADMINISTRATION,  SUPERVISION,  AND  TRAINING Proficiency in EOCC procedures is maintained through a well-administered training program. Primary  training  concentrates  on  controlling single-source  casualties—those  which  may  be attributed to the failure or malfunction of a single component or the failure of piping at a specific point in a system. Advanced training concentrates on controlling multiple casualties or on conduct- ing  a  battle  problem.  An  effective  and  well- administered   EOOW   training   program   must contain,  as  a  minimum,  the  following  elements: master copy of this list, in addition to posting the individual   operating   instructions   and   safety precautions throughout the engineering spaces. If any of the posted operating instructions and safety precautions are damaged or lost, a duplicate copy can be readily made up from the master list. For ships in commission and in service, plastic laminated   operating   instructions   and   safety precautions are available; they are listed in the Navy  Stock  List  of  Forms  and  Publications, NAVSUP Publication 2002. Recognition  of  the  symptoms. INSPECTIONS AND TRIALS Probable  causes. Probable  effects. Preventive actions that may be taken to reduce, eliminate, or control casualties. An EOSS package is not intended to be forgot- ten once it is developed and installed aboard a ship.  It  offers  many  advantages  to  the  ship’s operational   readiness   capabilities,   providing detailed step-by-step sequencing of events for all phases of the engineering-plant operation. Its pro- cedures  are  tailored  to  each  specific  ship  and are prepared for each level of management and operation. Because it is work-studied and system- oriented, the EOSS provides the basic informa- tion for the optimum utilization of equipment and systems by specifying correct procedures tailored for a specific plant configuration. A naval ship must be inspected from time to time  to  ensure  that  its  operation,  administration, and equipment reflect a high standard of readiness for war. The frequency with which the various types of inspections are held are determined by the CNO, the fleet commander, and the type com- mander. As far as the ship is concerned, the type commander usually designates the type of inspec- tion and when it will be held. The EOSS is not intended to eliminate the need for skilled plant operators. No program or system can achieve such a goal. The EOSS is a tool for better utilization of manpower and skills available. Although the EOSS is an excellent tool for shipboard training of personnel, it is primarily a  working  system  for  scheduling,  controlling,  and directing plant operations and casualty-control procedures. A  ship  is  frequently  notified  some  time  in advance  when  an  inspection  will  take  place,  but preparation  for  an  inspection  should  not  be postponed  until  the  notice  of  inspection  is  re- ceived.  It  is  a  mistake  to  think  that  a  poorly administered division or department can, by a sudden burst of energy, be prepared to meet the inspector’s eagle eye. By using proper procedures, and keeping up to date on such items as repair work,  maintenance  work,  operating  procedures, training  of  personnel,  engineering  casualty  con- trol  drills,  maintenance  records  and  reports,  you will always be ready for an inspection. Since your ship may be required to furnish an inspecting party to make an inspection on another ship, you as a CPO or PO1 may be assigned the duty  as  an  assistant  inspector.  Therefore,  you should know something about the different types of inspections and how they are conducted. OPERATING   INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ADMINISTRATIVE INSPECTION A master list of all the engineering department operating instructions and safety precautions is kept in the log room. When a ship is commis- sioned,  the  building  yard  normally  provides  a Administrative   inspections   cover administrative  methods  and  procedures  normally employed by the ship. Each inspection is divided into   two   general   categories—the   general 2-39
