SAFETY ENFORCEMENT The safety organization must continually monitor measures taken to ensure the command meets established safety standards and criteria. The best policing system is one of self-policing by both supervisory personnel and workers. To evaluate safety enforcement, monitor the adequacy of inspections of mishap prevention measures, the supervision of routine work, and special command evolutions. Monitor your divi- sion’s adherence to prescribed operating and main- tenance procedures. Also monitor the correction of inspection discrepancies, the submission of work requests, and the full use of the 3-M systems. As shown by the following quotation, com- placency, haste to complete a job, and the ‘‘it-can’t-happen-to-me” attitude all tend to oppose an effective self-policing safety program. Although many people may be familiar with that quotation, its safety message is one all should know. THE ENEMY I am more powerful than the combined armies of the world. I have destroyed more men than all the wars of all nations. I massacre thousands of people every year. I am more deadly than bullets, and I have wrecked more homes than the mightiest guns. In the United States alone, I steal over 500 million dollars each year. I spare no one, and I find my victims among the rich and poor alike, the young and old, the strong and weak. Widows know me to their everlasting sorrow. I loom up in such proportions that I cast my shadow over every field of labor. I lurk in unseen places and do most of my work silently. You can be warned against me, yet, you heed me not. I am relentless,   merciless and cruel. I am everywhere—in the home, on the streets, in the factory, at railroad crossings, on land, in the air, on the sea. I bring sickness, degradation and death yet few seek me out to destroy me. I crush, I maim, and I wiIl give you nothing and rob you of all you have. I am your worst enemy—I am CARELESSNESS. —Author Unknown NAVY OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH (NAVOSH) PROGRAM The Navy’s Occupational Safety and Health (NAVOSH) Program covers all Navy safety areas. Those areas include aviation; weapons and ex- plosives; off-duty safety (recreation, public, and traffic); and occupational safety as well as occupa- tional health. The NAVOSH Program specifically addresses the maintenance of safe and healthful conditions in the work place. All levels of com- mand within the naval ashore and afloat establish- ments must begin and manage a NAVOSH Program based on OPNAVINST 5100.23B. Each Navy member must comply with all NAVOSH standards and applicable rules, regulations, and orders. Violators of NAVOSH regulations or in- structions are subject to disciplinary action based on the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Personnel must report to their supervisor all observed work place hazards, injuries, occupa- tional illnesses, or property damage resulting from an accident. INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Industrial equipment includes all fixed or por- table electric-, electronic-, pneumatic-, and hydraulic-powered tools used in repairing, main- taining, calibrating, or testing equipment. Before assigning personnel to operate or repair industrial equipment,    make sure they have demonstrated a practical knowledge of its opera- tion or repair and of all applicable safety precau- tions. Before allowing personnel to operate industrial equipment, make certain the equipment is in good working condition and all installed or attached safety features are in place and work- ing. Do not allow personnel to operate defective equipment until it is suitably repaired. Disconnect any equipment requiring repair from its power source and tag it out, following OPNAVINST 3120.32B, until repair is completed. To minimize possible injuries, post operating instructions and safety precautions at each piece of equipment and locate warning plates where everyone can see them. PNEUMATIC TOOLS Only allow authorized and trained personnel to operate pneumatic tools, and make sure those per- sonnel wear and use personal protective devices. 6-7
