Q2.  If you see a safety hazard, whom should you notify? SUMMARY Throughout your Navy career you will continually hear the phrase “Think safety!” and rightfully so. As said at the beginning of this chapter, our profession is inherently dangerous. We can make our place of work considerably safer simply by paying attention to what goes on in our work space on a daily basis. We have covered a wide variety of safety factors in this chapter. How to properly and safely embark and disembark a liberty boat was discussed. You learned how to use cleaning supplies and equipment properly to keep your berthing compartment shipshape. The proper use of paint and utensils to keep your ship looking good was also covered. How to use the tag-out system to repair or replace equipment, systems, or components to avoid hazards to personnel or equipment was stressed. Numerous evolutions conducted aboard ship on a daily basis would be safer if people would take a few minutes to observe what is going on. Hopefully, observing the safety precautions associated with doing a particular task will reduce mishaps. Every job in the Navy has a set of safety guidelines. In their haste to get the job done, people sometimes cut corners. They do not realize that just around the corner lies  an  overlooked  or  disregarded  safety  precaution waiting to get us. Paying attention to what goes on around  you  and  your  shipmates  and  observing  the proper safety precautions will reduce the number of mishaps considerably. Think safety!
