officer. Specific requirements for the proper method of tag  out  are  discussed  in  your  ship’s  instructions,  the 3 - M    m a n u a l ,    O P N A V I N S T    5 1 0 0 . 1 9 C N a v y Occupational Safety and Health (NAVOSH) Program M a n u a l f o r F o r c e s A f l o a t , N A V S E A S0404-AD-URM-010/TUM,  Tag-Out User’s Manual (TUM),   and   COMNAVSURFPACINST   5101.2H CH-1,  Equipment Tag-Out Procedures. Smooth Log The   smooth   log   contains   all   baseline   data (information   about   your   system   when   it   was   first installed) for all weapon systems on your specific ship. It   also   contains   the   latest   data   on   your   weapons systems,   based   on   the   most   recent   maintenance, overhauls, or testing completed. This data consists of information such as radiation cut-out zones for radar, radar  transmitter  tests,  system  operability  tests,  pre- a n d p o s t - fi r e c h e c k s , t r a i n a n d e l e v a t i o n measurements,   pre-aim   calibration   gun   exercises, towed   target   exercises,   and   other   important   tests, measurements,   and   exercises.   The   smooth   log   is actually  more  than  one  volume  and  is  normally  kept wherever  the  Combat  Systems  Officer  of  the  Watch (CSOOW) stands watch. Q1. What   resources   should   you   use   to   determine what reports should be turned in for your ship’s eight o’clock reports? Q2. What are the four types of casualty reports  used in the casualty reporting system? Q3. How often should laminated tags be audited? INFORMATION SOURCES Many types of information sources apply to your job.  Use  them.  They  may  be  periodicals  (bulletins, magazines,   or   messages),   schematics,   work-center logs, instructions, or applicable modules in the  Navy Electricity  and  Electronic  Training  Series   (NEETS). You may also use individual command logs to keep an accurate  history  of  equipment  performance  and  the location of test equipment. New personnel may use the various   information   sources   to   bring   themselves up-to-date   on   new   procedures   and   troubleshooting techniques. In addition, they may use the work center’s logbooks   to   learn   the   operating   history   of   the equipment they are assigned to maintain. You may want to use technical periodicals to keep current of any changes or policies affecting equipment configuration   and   safety-related   items.   Periodicals also contain important information that may affect you as   a   Fire   Controlman.    Remember,   however,   that most   periodicals   are   only   for   informational p u r p o s e s   a n d   d o   n o t   c h a n g e   o r   s u p e r s e d e applicable policies, directives, or instructions. SHIPS’ SAFETY BULLETIN The  Ships’  Safety  Bulletin  is  published  quarterly by  the  Naval  Safety  Center,  Norfolk,  Virginia.  The bulletins cover all aspects of safety information, from electrical safety shoes to revisions of safety courses. If your work center does not maintain copies of the Ships’ Safety  Bulletin,  contact  your  ship’s  Safety  Officer  to get  a  copy  so  you  can  keep  current  on  safety-related items. These bulletins should be kept in hard binders in chronological  order,  as  they  are  filled  with  technical and   safety   information   that   everyone   in   the   shop should have available for use. Figure 1-1 illustrates a front cover of a  Ship’s Safety Bulletin. AFLOAT SAFETY ADVISORIES Afloat safety advisories are in message format and a d v i s e    c o m m a n d s    o f    c u r r e n t    a n d    e m e r g e n t safety-related items. Your command may obtain them on a floppy disk from the Naval Safety Center. 1-4 Figure 1-1.—Ships’ Safety Bulletin.
