The course presents an approach to machine inspection that enables participants to recognize hazards such as those created by point of operation, rotating parts, and flying chips, and provides options to achieve abatement. The course also includes an introduction to robotics.

Upon completion of this course, the students will be able to:

- identify common machines found within a broad spectrum of industrial settings,

- identify machine hazards,

- select the OSHA standard that applies to the hazard and machine,

- present options to achieve abatement of the hazard.

Purpose/Objective of Course: The purpose of this course is to provide Navy and Marine Corps military, DoD Civilians, and contractors with training in types of machine guarding. One or more methods of machine guarding shall be provided to protect the operator and other employees in the machine area from hazards such as those created by point of operation, ingoing nip points, rotating parts, flying chips and sparks. It will provide the students with the knowledge and skills to enable them to safely protect themselves and others from hazards associated with machinery.

Upon completion of the course, the students will be able to:

a. Identify common machines found within a broad spectrum of industrial settings.

b. Identify machine hazards.

c. Select the OSHA standard that applies to the hazard and the machine based on the industrial setting.

d. Present options to achieve abatement of the hazard.

Target Audience: This course is specifically designed for OSH Specialist, OSH Technician, Industrial Hygienist, Industrial Hygiene Technician, Environmental Protection Specialist, Safety Engineer, Industrial Hygiene Officer, or Navy full-time safety or collateral-duty personnel.

Students may have anywhere from no experience to over twenty years of experience.

The course is a group-paced, criterion referenced, instructor led, student participation, lecture/laboratory type instructional system that uses firmly established training procedures. All procedures will be accomplished in accordance with up-to-date instructional techniques and learning methods.

5.1 Shipping of all class material, including course administrative material, to each training location is the responsibility of the contractor.

5.2 The contractor is responsible for providing a student guide/manual at the beginning of the course for each student to keep for future reference. A course syllabus is required to be in each student guide/manual which outlines the topics to be covered, on which days, and the approximate amount of time to be spent on each topic. Also to be included in the student guide/manual are copies of any computer-generated graphics to be shown along with note-taking space. The order of the material in the student manual shall follow the order in which the material is presented in class in order to reduce any confusion among the students by having them skip around through the manual searching for the proper pages. Other handouts are up to the discretion of the contractor, but shall be included in the student guide/manual.

5.3 The contract instructors shall prepare the classroom for instruction (e.g., ensure course materials are brought into classroom, arrange tables and chairs, layout course materials for each student) and ensure classroom is left in an orderly fashion at the end of each day.

5.4 The instructor is required to provide to each student for their retention a “safety distance scale measuring device” which can be used by students when they return to their work sites for measuring the allowable barrier opening size based on the distance from the point of operation on the various types of machinery found in Navy work places. Such a measuring device is available from Scientific Technologies, Inc. (888-510-4357), part number 88050-0030, and other retailers. The contractor is free to choose the source of supply.

5.5 Demonstration: The instructors shall demonstrate proper machinery and machine guarding safety practices by utilization of various barriers associated with different safety hazards.

5.6 Workshop: Field exercise. The instructors shall take the class on a field exercise where, under the supervision of the instructors, they can experience a variety of safety hazards and properly perform the use of a safety barrier. It is understood that weather conditions may hamper, or even prevent, the opportunity to conduct the field exercise. In the event that a field exercise cannot be arranged, the instructors are required to fill that time with other lesson topics and/or learning experiences to accomplish the same objective. The local Course Coordinator at the training location will be responsible for arranging the time, date, approvals, and any transportation requirements associated with the field exercise.

5.7 Remediation shall be provided for any student demonstrating academic problems at any time in the course. This may take the form of one-on-one discussion during or after class hours, extra study assignments to reinforce mastery of difficult material, a review of the results of the final exam, etc. The degree of remediation will be determined by the contract instructor based upon the particular situation. It is expected that most remediation will be accomplished during regular class hours. However, there may be a need to briefly assist a student on an occasional basis after class. Student remediation is performed at no additional cost to the Government. There is no compensation beyond that included in the contract. Any demands on a contract instructor’s time considered excessive and beyond the scope of the contract should be brought to the attention of the COR. The contract instructor shall notify the COR and Course Supervisor of any student having academic problems.

5.8 The Course Supervisor will provide official NAVSAFENVTRACEN graduation certificates for the course. These certificates shall be filled out by the contractor at the end of each course and handed to students who have successfully completed the course. In the event that tests cannot be graded before students are dismissed on the final day, it is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure students are notified of their test results and provided their graduation certificate as appropriate. Course completion certificates shall be kept under careful control by the contractor and only issued directly to the student successfully completing the course. Any unused certificates shall be held by the contractor for future use.

5.9 Any student missing more than 20% of a class will fail the course and not receive a graduation certificate. The contract instructor should contact the COR and Course Supervisor immediately to discuss the student’s situation. The Government retains the right to make the final decision on whether or not a student will be allowed to stay for the remainder of the course.

SECTION 6 GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBILITIES

6.0 Responsibilities of US Government

6.1 The Government will provide classroom space, with chalk/dry marker boards and projection screen/monitor when available.
