    1. Special Case Hazards (Hg, PCB, Li, Pb, and Asbestos) A-4J-0020 ASO-9 31 July 2012

    2. EOs EO #09-1 IDENTIFY the various elements of the Mercury Control Program, and the PCB and lithium battery safety programs EO #09-2 DEFINE the duties and responsibilities of the Safety Officer within the Mercury Control, PCB, and lithium battery safety programs EO #09-3 DESCRIBE the areas aboard ship where you can find mercury, PCBs, and lithium battery hazards EO #09-4 IDENTIFY the various elements of the Hazardous Material Control Program Lesson Overview. Three smaller but significant safety programs deal with mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls and lithium batteries. NAVSEA has provided directives or technical manuals addressing each of these hazards aboard ship. Mercury is a heavy metal which vaporizes at room temperature, and inhalation of mercury vapor can cause mercury poisoning. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) found in transformer oil and ventilation duct felt gaskets may cause cancer. Lithium batteries can be an explosion hazard if improperly used or stored. The Safety Officer needs to be aware of the safety standards for each of these programs and know where these hazards exist aboard ship.Lesson Overview.

EOs EO #09-5 DEFINE the duties and responsibilities of the Safety Officer within the Hazardous Material Control Program EO#09-6 DESCRIBE hazardous material spill response procedures EO #09-7 IDENTIFY the various elements of the Asbestos Control Program EO #09-8 DEFINE the duties and responsibilities of the Safety Officer within the Asbestos Control Program Purpose: To prevent lead intoxication and related injuries during use, removal, and melting of materials containing lead. Lead has been used for thousands of years, since early civilization. It is one of earliest metals used. The Earliest exposures were from mining, smelting, cooking pots, and pottery. Yet, despite the antiquity of our knowledge of the hazards, we are still poisoning people. Even with more recent concerns about children eating lead- containing paint and putty, lead solder and lead piping in the older drinking water systems, leaded gasoline effects to humans and the environment, and reproductive hazards from lead, we still don't have the daily awareness of the hazard that we should have. OSHA has instituted extensive requirements on industry to reduce occupational exposure to lead. We are bound to follow those requirements.Purpose: To prevent lead intoxication and related injuries during use, removal, and melting of materials containing lead.
