SAFETY ADVISOR
If you have been following the local news lately then you have heard about the number of pedestrians killed in the Hampton Roads area in the last few months. With a little effort on the part of the people walking and area drivers we can avoid or eliminate these mishaps. If you are the pedestrian, use a little common sense. If you are going to be out walking after dark, don’t head out wearing dark colored clothing from head to foot. Carry a flashlight if the area you are going to be walking through lacks street lights. Maybe you are heading out for your daily run or jog. If so wear clothing with reflective material, use reflective vests, belts or arm bands to make yourself more visible to on-coming traffic. Run/walk facing traffic; this will give you the opportunity to try and get out of the way if you see a vehicle headed towards you. Don’t walk and text...that’s a sure fire recipe for a collision with something or someone. If you are the driver, slow down, pay attention to the area outside of your vehicle. Keep your eyes on the road and away from cellphones, GPS systems, radio channels or your newest CD. If traffic and the road permit use your high-beams to better illuminate the roadway ahead of you. If you do come up on someone walking, running, or riding a bike move over and give them room. Did you know you should allow 3 feet when passing someone riding a bicycle. Be alert for crosswalks and slow down in the vicinity of medical facilities, schools, and convenience stores. Be especially alert in parking lots for both pedestrians and drivers pulling out of parking spaces. If we all slow down a little, put away our phones and MP3 players; look where we are going and give our full attention to our surroundings together we can share the roads... Here are some cell phone statistics: 600 billion = number of text messages sent in the US in 2009. 271,000,000 = the number of cell phones in use in the US as of 2008. 84% = percent of the US population that own a cell phone. 20% = driver's reaction time reduced by when driving and talking on a cell phone. 18 = number of states that have banned all text messages while driving; Washington DC has also banned text messaging while driving. 6 = states that prohibit talking on hand held cell phones while driving. 1 = you - you can stop talking on cell phones while driving and encourage your friends and family to do the same.

Low-Speed Vehicles & Golf Cart Use on Base Many commands have invested in lowspeed vehicles, Gators, Mules, or GoldCarts to reduce expenses and fuel costs. With the increased use of these style vehicles there has been an increase in mishaps due to personnel not being trained or engaging in horse-play while operating these vehicles. OPNAVINST 5100.12H CH-1 dtd 25 JUN 08 identifies Low Speed Vehicles and Golf Carts requirements as out-lined below. - Low-Speed Vehicles shall meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 500 requirements such as windshields, exterior mirrors mounted on driver and passenger sides of the vehicle, head lamps, tail lamps, brake lamps, emergency flashers, turn signals, reflectors, parking brake, safety belts, vehicle identification numbers, and a horn or warning device. They shall also meet host nation, federal, state, and local safety requirements. - These requirements do not apply to golf carts because their speed, as manufactured, is less than 20 mph. However, if any golf cart is modified so that its maximum speed is over 20 mph, it must conform to the above standard. - Golf Carts typically operate at speeds
no greater then 15-20 mph and offer no occupant protection in a collision. They are not classified as GMV or low-speedvehicles. They do not meet the requirements of
DoD4500.36R, Management, Acquisition and Use of Motor Vehicles 03 AUG 04 and SHALL NOT be used on roadways that are used for commercial and PMV traffic. Commands using golf carts SHALL establish vehicle standard operating procedures (SOPs), develop a map of authorized travel routes, perform vehicle inspections, conduct operator training and mark units per NAVFAC P300, Management of Civil Engineering Support Equipment. - While in use, all vehicles SHALL meet host nation, federal, and state requirements and comply with original manufacturers’ instructions and guidance as applicable.
- Gators and Mules are classified as low speed vehicles if their max speed is less than 25 mph. If they can exceed 25 mph, then they are considered motor vehicles and must meet requirements for a motor vehicle. All Commands on base using LSV’s, golf carts, gators, or mules SHALL establish standard operating procedures to include vehicle inspections prior to use, maintenance, and operator training prior to use. Training will be documented in ESAMS (if applicable), and maps of authorized travel routes posted. The Safety Office has additional information available on use of LSV’s and golfcarts; training DVD, and sample inspection form for your use. Contact Kymm Beaver at (757) 462-2199 or Kimberley.beaver@navy.mil for additional information. Commands not on-board JEBLCFS should contact their respective Safety Office for additional information/guidance.

Slips,Trips, & Falls The National Safety Council indicates slips and falls are the single most common reason for an emergency room visit. The most frequent types of injuries to occur are injuries to the back, shoulder, elbow, wrist, and/or knee; joint injuries tend to be most common. According to the US Department of Labor, an average slip and fall injury costs roughly $28,000, putting a financial strain on individuals and companies where an injury can occur. Slips and falls are the third largest cause of workplace injuries. In North America, slips and falls lead to approximately 104 million lost workdays each year and in-turn end up costing approximately $36 billion dollars each year.
Walkway surfaces that are in disrepair.
Causes of slips, trips and falls vary considerably and can include one or more of the following:
PREVENTION
Walkway surface substances & spills; e.g., oil, water, and/or other liquid surface contamination. Lack of training and/or knowledge about slips/trips & falls. Mats or rugs which become unanchored or loose. Weather related items like rain, wet leaves, snow and/or ice. Use of inappropriate footwear.
Sheen/smooth walkway surfaces that do not allow for adequate footwear-traction. About 70 percent of slips, trips, and falls occur on level walking surfaces. Training employees on prevention, and awareness of slip, trip, and fall hazards is essential to reducing the likeliness of becoming a statistic. Once employees are trained and made aware, common sense also plays an important role in preventing slips, trips, and falls.
Good floor safety recommendations include: Keep floor surfaces clean and dry. Ensure wet-floor warning signs are posted in and around wet floor locations as well as providing and maintaining adequate drainage.
Provide floor plugs for power equipment to ensure power cords are not run across walkway paths. Report and clean up spills immediately. Do not leave spilled materials unattended. Have someone else steer other personnel around the spill while you find something to clean up the spill. Provide non-slip coatings or surfaces in slippery locations. Minimize carpet and matting trip hazards. Use prudent housekeeping procedures and provide adequate lighting in poorly lit areas such as halls and stairwells. Maintain and eliminate uneven floor surfaces. Make sure you can see where you are going. Limit materials you are carrying at one time to avoid visual obstructions and trying to keep materials balanced. The Safety Office has a limited number of “Quick Guides” on Slips, Trips and Falls available. The guides can be used to assist you in conducting your monthly safety training.
Maintain clear aisles and passageways and prevent obstructions. Ensure walkway surfaces are in good repair.

VA Traffic Safety Laws: Slow Down—Move Over Section 46.2-921.1 of the Code of Virginia states: § 46.2-921.1. Drivers to yield right-of-way or reduce speed when approaching stationary emergency vehicles on highways; penalties. A. The driver of any motor vehicle, upon approaching a stationary vehicle that is displaying a flashing, blinking, or alternating blue, red, or amber light or lights as provided in § 46.2-1022, 46.2-1023, or 46.2-1024 or subdivision A 1 or A 2 of § 46.2-1025 shall (i) on a highway having at least four lanes, at least two of which are intended for traffic proceeding as the approaching vehicle, proceed with caution and, if reasonable, with due regard for safety and traffic conditions, yield the right-of-way by making a lane change into a lane not adjacent to the stationary vehicle or (ii) if changing lanes would be unreasonable or unsafe, proceed with due caution and maintain a safe speed for highway conditions.
Mishaps—Defined In Safety, we are often asked, exactly what is a MiShAp?
- The ceremony proceeded without mishap.
This is what we found … From Wiktionary (on-line): Mishap is a Noun (plural - mishaps) - An accident, mistake or problem. Ex. After the mishap with the banana peel, he watches his step now.
Examples of Mishap
Could this have been prevented?
- The fire was a tragic mishap that could have been prevented.
Safety at Work
From OPNAVINST 5102.1D / MCO P5102.1B, Navy & Marine Corps Mishap and Safety Investigation, Reporting and
Safety Funnies…
From Merriam-Webster On-Line Dictionary—Mishap (1) an unfortunate accident (2) bad luck; misfortune
Record Keeping Manual Mishap: Any unplanned or unexpected event causing death, injury, occupational illness, including days away from work, job transfer or restriction, and material loss or damage.
All the definitions listed are correct. No matter how you define “mishap” , one of the Navy’s primary goals remains a reduction in the occurrence of mishaps (on and off-duty), particularly those resulting in the loss of Navy assets, personnel and material/property.

Hearing Conservation Noise-induced hearing loss is one of the top Occupational Health Hazards in the military. Repeated unprotected exposure to hazardous noise may cause permanent, irreversible damage to hearing. The good news: Hearing loss from noise exposure can almost always be prevented through proper use of personal hearing protective devices, such as earplugs or noise muffs. Hearing protection must be worn whenever entering and remaining in a potentially noise hazardous area. The goal of the Navy & Marine Corps Hearing Conservation Program is to prevent occupationally related noiseinduced hearing loss among military and civilian employees. Hazardous noise is defined as:
>84 dBA steady-state or continuous noise >140 dB Peak impulse or impact noise General rule: If you have to shout to a listener who is at a distance of 3 feet or less away from you in order to be understood, you are likely in a noisehazardous area or environment. It is the individual’s responsibility to use personal protective equipment, such as earplugs or noise muffs. The wearing of hearing protection for occupational noise hazards is required by the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), DODINST 6055.12, OPNAVINST 5100.23 Series,
V O LU M E 7 , I S S U E 1
OPNAVINST 5100.19 Series and NEHC TM 6260.51.99 Series. It is the unit or shop supervisor’s responsibility to purchase and provide the necessary protective devices for their employees. Individuals should report possible problems associated with noise or hearing to their immediate supervisor and request a hearing test, or seek medical assistance, if appropriate. For specific questions about the Navy & Marine Corps Hearing Conservation Program, contact your local Hearing Conservation Program Manager or Audiology Clinic.

New Tires...are you sure... Bet you didn’t know those “new” tires you just purchased aren’t really all that new after all…
By checking this information when purchasing new tires, you will be sure you are getting new tires before leaving the shop.
New tires may actually be several years old even though they are being sold as “new” tires. Tire manufactures suffer the same supply and demand fluctuations as producers of all durable good and products. When the economy slows and consumers stop buying new tires, they end up in storage—sometimes for 10 years—until the demand returns.
For more information and other tire safety information, visit www.safercar.gov. (Source: Fall Winter 2009—GEICO Direct—Johnny Underwood.)
Before you approve the mounting of new tires on your vehicle, ask the dealer to show you their date of manufacture. The date is located on the sidewall. You should take note of the U.S. Department of Transportation Tire Identification Number which can be read as follows: It begins with “DOT”. This means the tire is produced to meet U.S. government standards. The next two numbers or letters identify the plant where the tire was made. The last four numbers are the week and year the tire came out of the tire mold. For example, 2206 means the 22nd week—or the last week of May and the first three days of June—of 2006.
