SAFETY
Safety in the Navy requires an effective and
aggressive occupational safety and health program. The
program should enhance operational readiness and
mission accomplishment to the maximum. Navy safety
programs are designed to create and maintain safe and
healthful working conditions for military and civilian
personnel.
The Navy Occupational Safety and Health
(NAVOSH) Program is carried out through the use of
the chain of command. The Chief of Naval Operations
(CNO) directs the NAVOSH Program. The NAVOSH
Program applies to all military and civilian personnel
(including off-duty military personnel) and
nonappropriated fund personnel as well as materials.
The program is in effect afloat and ashore, on and off
naval installations. All Navy dependents and civilian
personnel on naval shore installations or embarked in
naval ships or aircraft must follow NAVOSH program
directives.

(COMNAVSAFECEN), was designated the CNO
Safety Coordinator (OP-09F) in charge of centralized
management of all safety efforts. This action made the
mission of the Naval Safety Center more specific. The

Vice Chief of Naval Operations, performs the following
