Never  take  food  or  drink  of  any  nature  into sewage-handling areas. Never work on sewage-handling equipment if you have open cuts or sores. Maintain cleanliness of equipment at all times. Wash  down  any  spilled  sewage  immediately (before it dries) with water and a good quality nonscented disinfectant. Don’t use liquid soaps or  scented  disinfectants  because  they  may temporarily  disguise  inadequate  cleanup procedures. Always follow personal hygiene routines after working in a sewage-handling area or after being in contact with sewage-handling equipment. NOTE Notify the medical department and the damage control assistant (DCA) on the status of any holding  or  other  marine  sanitation  device (MSD)  whenever  the  ship  is  threatened  by hostilities,  fire,  flooding,  or  conditions  that could turn the MSD into a biological hazard to the  ship’s  crew.  Each  ship  should  have developed  plans  to  eliminate  or  control  the biological hazards from these occurrences.

Electrical/electronic equipment, portable power tools, machinery, and weapons are a prime source of loud noise. The Navy has different types of hearing protection for use in subduing noise, such as earplugs (regular and disposable), headband earplugs, and the circumaural muff. If the noise is too loud, you may need to wear the earplugs  and  the  circumaural  muff  for  double protection.
