2. EOs EO #20-1 DISCUSS the techniques used to conduct an effective safety standdown EO #20-2 DISCUSS the elements of the Navy Recreation, Athletics and Home Safety Program EO #20-3 DISCUSS the hazards associated with recreational and home activities EO #20-4 DESCRIBE the role of the Safety Officer in establishing a Recreation, Athletics and Home Safety Program Lesson Overview. Within the safety program, documentation must be maintained on reported safety hazards, mishaps, training and inspection results. You will be unable to prove critical safety training was conducted without proper documentation, for example. Accidents and injuries must be tracked through files or logs. Asbestos records must be maintained in perpetuity. Without documentation, inspectors will have no proof of your safety program efforts. Many ships have either too much or too little safety record keeping. This lesson will provide a comprehensive outline of required and desired safety record keeping and techniques for simple, easy documentation.Lesson Overview.

19. Sports Injuries Causes Poor conditioning Inadequate ability and skill Lack of protective equipment Violation of rules Increase safety awareness Sports provide a basic conditioning process through which the navy and marine corps can help build and maintain an effective fighting force. However, every year navy and marine corps men and women are killed and injured while participating in sports activities. The causes of such injuries generally relate to lack of conditioning and skill for the sport played as well as rules violations. Personal protective equipment can reduce the extent of injury.

28. Swimming Never swim alone Swim in areas with lifeguards Do not drink alcohol Look before you leap Know your limits A variety of factors contribute to the typical swimming mishap. Too many people mistakenly consider themselves skilled swimmers. Yet most can only qualify as class III swimmers. Seldom do they consider the consequences of cold water, alcohol and fatigue. Overestimation of ability and underestimation of the effects of such conditions are the leading causes of drownings and disabling injuries. Know your limits and don�t exceed them.

29. Boating Safe boating course Load capacity Safety equipment Float plan Personal flotation devices (PFDs) Weather conditions The overwhelming majority of boat operators who have fatal accidents have never taken a safe boating course. The main causes of these accidents are collision, falling overboard and alcohol. Intoxicated operators cause approximately 50 percent of all serious boating accidents. OPNAVINST 5100.25A requires small boat qualification training prior to renting a MWR boat and the wearing of a pfd in boats under 16 feet. It is recommended all boaters follow these guidelines . take a coast guard approved boating course.The overwhelming majority of boat operators who have fatal accidents have never taken a safe boating course.

33. SCUBA Diving Certification Dive tables Dive with a buddy Hand signals Follow guidelines for specialized diving Certification is a must to prevent recreational self- contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA) diving mishaps. Remember open water scuba diving certification does not certify you for night diving, deep dives, cave/cavern or shipwreck diving. Only dive with a qualified buddy; never alone. A rule you can live with is: always reserve at least two-thirds of your beginning air for your return trip.

34. Parachuting Safety Training Certified riggers Check your equipment Avoid radical landings Complacency is a major cause of accidents. Prior to a jump ensure the altimeter is zeroed and the automatic activation device is on. Check your equipment 3 times: once before you put it on, once after and once before you exit the aircraft. All recreational parachutists should attend an approved United States Parachuting Association (USPA) course of instruction given by a certified USPA instructor. Learn to fly defensively - anticipate the actions of others. Watch out for slower traffic below and faster traffic above. Create a safer situation by landing in a different place than everyone else and/or at a different time and avoid radical landings. Above all, know your emergency procedures.

36. Rock Climbing Training Buddy system Weather conditions Helmet Safety equipment Climbing can be hazardous. Some Navy and Marines have been killed while rock climbing. The vast majority of climbing deaths are attributable to inexperience and carelessness, not failed equipment. A safe climber is one who acquires the knowledge to master the sport by participating In training classes and climbs with appropriate equipment and an experienced buddy. Climbing can be hazardous.

37. Camping Safety Check weather forecasts before you leave Wear layered clothing, boots & caps Insect repellant and mosquito netting Cooler for perishable foods No combustible materials within 10 feet of campfire Camping expeditions can be great learning experiences and fun. Most of you camp in forests, on mountains -or by streams so you can hike, climb and swim. As much fun as these are they are obviously not without hazards. If you�re not dressed for cold, you can get hypothermia. If it is too hot, you can get heat stroke. Flash floods can swell streams and strand you. Poisonous snakes and plants can kill you and chiggers and ticks can make you itch and make you wish you had stayed home. Camping expeditions can be great learning experiences and fun.

Deaths (Under Age 14) - Why is the Navy concerned with Child Safety? - Accounts for some lost workdays as parents have to attend to injured dependents. - What about single parents?- Why is the Navy concerned with Child Safety? - Accounts for some lost workdays as parents have to attend to injured dependents. - What about single parents?

41. Poison Prevention Use original containers Use child resistant caps Keep emergency numbers by phone Read warning labels Keep items out of children�s reach Buy nontoxic plants Most of us feel safe at home and don�t think much about hazardous materials. However, plenty of chemicals and prescribed medications can be dangerous to you and your family, especially if you have children. Keep cleaning compounds and medications where children can�t reach them. Always read the labels on household chemicals and cleaning substances. These labels tell you how to store, use and dispose of the product. Most of us feel safe at home and don�t think much about hazardous materials.

42. Carbon Monoxide Install carbon monoxide detectors Follow manufacturer�s recommendations for placement Test monthly Replace detector or batteries as recommended Navy requires Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarms to be installed in all navy family housing units which are served by CO based fuel burning systems. In Navy family housing a Sailor, his children and their dog died from co poisoning. They didn�t have a CO detector. In another near tragic mishap occurred due to CO. Another Sailor his wife and infant child were evacuated from their Navy family home for exposure to CO poisoning. They were altered to unsafe levels of CO by a recently installed alarm. CO alarms saves lives. Navy requires Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarms to be installed in all navy family housing units which are served by CO based fuel burning systems.

43. Home Fire Exit Drills Check your smoke and CO detectors Develop an escape plan Practice your plan Two ways out Outside meeting place Don�t go back When fire strikes, everything happens too fast. Make your fire emergency plan now-before you need it. Go through a practice drill every 6 months. Remember few people are burned to death in fires. Most people die from smoke and poisonous gases. If you don�t already have smoke detectors in your home, install them. Check your detectors in accordance with manufacturer�s guidance. If you cook or heat with gas also have carbon monoxide detectors installed. When fire strikes, everything happens too fast. Make your fire emergency plan now-before you need it.

44. Ladder Safety Right ladder for the job Inspect ladders Metal ladder + electricity = death 4 To 1 ratio 3 feet rule More than 30,000 people will be hurt by falls from ladders this year because the victims didn�t know the basics of ladder safety. Here are five easy rules to follow. Choose a ladder that�s long enough so you can work comfortably. Don�t use metal ladders when working around electricity. Repair or replace loose or missing screws, hinges, bolts and nuts. Position a straight ladder at 4 to 1 ratio. That means the base of the ladder is one foot away from the vertical surface for every four feet of ladder length . when use use a ladder to climb onto a roof allow the ladder to extend at least 3 feet beyond the roof edge. Face the ladder and hold on with both hands when climbing up and down. Don�t climb higher than the third rung of a straight ladder. Never reach or lean to far.

45. Lawnmower Safety Wear safety goggles, shoes, hearing protection Remove objects before cutting Push, do not pull mower For walk-behind mowers, mow laterally across a slope not up and down On a riding mower, the rule is opposite Let cool before refueling While homeowners generally rely on walk behind power mowers to cut small plots of grass, some residents with lots of grass have switched to riding mowers. Beware! These cutting machines are capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects that are hit by the blade. Slopes are a major factor related to tip-over and loss of control mishaps. The direction you cut depends on the type of mower you use. Mow in daylight and when the lawn is dry. Keep children and pets out of area. Failure to observe safety precautions could result in serious injuries.While homeowners generally rely on walk behind power mowers to cut small plots of grass, some residents with lots of grass have switched to riding mowers.
