EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A periodic industrial hygiene survey of Fleet Readiness Center East 6.3.3 Industrial Plant

Services Division Priority 1 Shops 33110, 33120, and 33310 Welding/Sheet Metal and

Carpentry/Painting was performed in December 2015. The purpose of the survey was to evaluate any changes to work processes or work practices that have occurred since our previous survey in 2014.

Areas of particular concern or Command interest are as follows:

1. Medical Surveillance: DODINST 6055.5 requires a registry of personnel occupationally exposed to hazardous chemicals, physical or biological agents to be developed for each workplace surveyed. This registry is used to ensure that each employee potentially exposed to a health hazard is enrolled in the appropriate medical surveillance program, and is examined by an occupational health physician, audiologist, or other health care provider to detect any insidious or acute ill effects. FRC East Division Secretary compiles a registry and contacts FRC-East

Safety Division at 464-7514 or 464-7045 for appointment scheduling, cancelation or changes to appointments for the required medical surveillance physicals. As staffing and requirement changes occur, FRC-East Safety department must be made aware of any changes to the registry and appointments scheduled as necessary.

2. Hazard Communication/Materials Program: Personnel receive initial training to inform them of job-related potential hazards and necessary protective measures. Hazard specific training is conducted on a weekly basis from the FRC East Internal Television network (ITN).

All hazardous materials are drawn from storage and distribution areas throughout the FRC East.

The Hazardous Material Distribution Support Center (HDSC) maintains Authorized Use Lists

(AULs) for hazardous materials used by the shops.

Managers should ensure that personnel receive hazard specific training about the chemicals to which they are exposed. Under the HAZCOM standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200, “chemical” means any element, chemical compound or mixture of elements and/or compounds. Therefore, metal alloys (mixtures of elements) are considered to be chemicals. Personnel should be aware of the hazardous metals that are contained in the alloys that they may be exposed to . Additional training should be provided whenever process changes, employee transfers, new hazards, etc.

occur.

Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are available to the employees through the Hazardous Material

Management System (HMMS). Employees are trained initially and biennially on how to access data and interpret information obtained from a SDS. Some supervisors in these shops maintain a reference only book of SDS hardcopies available for immediate use. Some workers must request a copy from a fellow employee with access to the system. According to OSHA, employees should not have to ask for a SDS, as this could be perceived by employees as a barrier to access.

Under 29 CFR 1910.1200, SDSs must be readily accessible to the employees during each work shift and in their work area(s). See OSHA’s interpretation letter concerning employee access to material safety data sheets (MSDSs) dated December 7, 1999, for further clarification.

3. Hearing Conservation Program: The Hearing Conservation Program is in good order. The majority of all tools and equipment that produce sound levels of 85 dB(A) were labeled.

Interim Navy Medicine Hearing Conservation Program Guidance (dated 13 Dec 2012) identifies

85 decibels dB(A) as the interim Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED) OEL. Noise hazardous equipment and operations are identified in this survey including applicable Hearing

Protection Device (HPD) requirements. Hearing protective devices are required to be worn by all personnel whenever they work or enter an area or utilize tools/equipment where Sound

Pressure Levels (SPLs), regardless of duration, are greater than 85 dB(A). Operations with SPLs exceeding 96 dB(A), regardless of duration, require double hearing protection. Personnel were observed wearing appropriate hearing protection during the survey.

Hearing tests are required on employees working in areas where the 8-hour time weighted average is above 85 dB(A) NOEL. At this time, all personnel in the Fleet Readiness Center-East

6.3.3 Industrial Plant Maintenance Division (33110, 33120 & 33310) meet this requirement.

4. Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection is currently required in Shop 33110 for confined space entry (when hazardous materials require the use of a respirator and when there is an oxygen deficient atmosphere) and when working in shop areas under conditions that require respiratory protection. A supplied air respirator is required for use during confined space entry and a full-face or half-face respirator with P100 particulate filters is recommended for all other processes (see individual shop Industrial Hygiene Survey for details on each process).

Respiratory protection is currently required in Shop 33120 for confined space entry (when there is an oxygen deficient atmosphere). A supplied air respirator is required for use during confined space entry…Respiratory protection is currently required in Shop 33310 for welding in confined spaces. A supplied air respirator is required for use during confined space entry. A full-face or half-face respirator with P100 particulate filters is recommended for working with phenolic materials.

Personnel in this program must be medically qualified and receive annual fit tests and training.

NOTE: All employees in 716 Respiratory Protection Medical Surveillance who are required to wear a respirator MUST be clean shaven.

5. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Adequate PPE is readily available to all personnel.

During the walkthrough, the PPE in use was clean, in a usable condition and properly stored.

Personnel are receiving the required PPE training. PPE use requirements are listed in the Shop

Area Hazard Assessments.

6. Ventilation: Evaluations are contained in Tables that follow each Hazard Assessment in this report. Please review the comments in the table for specific information. Ventilation comments and EIN #s in bold print represent ventilation systems that do not meet the minimum recommended capture velocity, per the ACGIH Ventilation Manual 27th Ed. Contact the FRC

East facilities engineering and/or maintenance departments to improve these ventilation systems.

7. Indoor Air Quality: During the summer months, thermal comfort is not attained in the carpentry shop located in building 84. Ambient temperatures of up to 105 º F have been recorded.

Contact the Naval Health Clinic Industrial Hygiene Department at 466-3833 to schedule heat stress assessments for these areas.

8. Eyewash Equipment: Pressurized plumbed eyewash stations are provided throughout the shops. Plumbed eyewash stations are activated weekly for three minutes to verify proper operation and to flush the line of rust and other contaminants. These required eyewash inspections are documented each week.

9. Ergonomic: Employees are provided training to identify hazards for musculoskeletal injury and safe work practices. Some items are heavy and/or awkward to lift and move. Lifting aids are readily available and utilized. Team lifting is practiced for items that weigh more than 50 lbs. No work-related injuries or ergonomic issues were reported during the walkthrough.

It is recommended that all personnel receive ergonomic training including specific guidance indentified in OPNAVINST 5100.23G, Ch. 23. Contact the Training Coordinator for assistance with this training.

10. Design Review: Industrial hygienists are required to actively participate in all facility planning, design, construction, and acceptance projects including both special and military construction projects to ensure appropriate hazard control techniques are applied. Please ensure all special projects, engineering designs, and purchasing contracts involving potential health hazards such as toxic materials, radiation, noise, or other health hazards are sent to the Industrial

Hygiene Department for review.

11. Customer Satisfaction/Complaint Form: A customer satisfaction/complaint form is found in Appendix C of this report. The first half of the form is a general satisfaction questionnaire and allows for suggestions of improving the services this department provides. The second half of the form provides an avenue for a specific complaint to be filed. Please complete this form as deemed necessary and return to the Naval Health Clinic Industrial Hygiene Department Head.

This report reflects conditions at Fleet Readiness Center-East 6.3.3 Industrial Plant Maintenance

Division (33000 Shops) during the survey period. Periodic industrial hygiene surveys are required for most work places by DOD INST 6055.5. In addition, changes in procedures, processes, or workload that may significantly alter personnel exposures may require more frequent evaluations.

Significant changes are defined as workplace modifications that require a change in recommended medical surveillance enrollment, personal protective equipment, or exposure control measures (ventilation, etc). Supervisory personnel should be encouraged to notify the

FRC-East Safety Office when significant changes occur.
