.1 Define the following terms: [ref. a, app. B]
a. HM :
Any
material
that,
because
of
its
quantity,
concentration, or physical or chemical characteristics, may pose a
substantial hazard to human health or the environment when purposefully
released or accidentally spilled.
b. HW : Any discarded material (liquid, solid, or gas) which
meets the definition of HM and/or is designated as a hazardous waste by
the environmental protection Agency or a State authority.
Define the term HM .2 Discuss the six categories of hazardous material and the personal
protective equipment required for handling each. [ref. a, app. G]
1) FLAMMABLE AND COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL
A flammable material is any solid, liquid, vapor, or gas that will
ignite easily and burn rapidly with a flash point less than 1500F.
Handling and Usage Requirements ensure that adequate supply and
exhaust ventilation is maintained in all spaces where HM is used,
Ensure PPE (eye protection, respirators, gloves appropriate to the HM
in use, etc.) is in good operating condition and is readily available
to all personnel working with HM.
2) TOXIC MATERIAL
A toxic material has the inherent capacity to produce personal
injury or death through ingestion, inhalation, or absorption through
any body surface. Toxic materials are considered, and often marked by
the manufacturer as being, poisonous.
Handling and Usage Requirements Avoid contact with toxic materials
by the proper use of suitable impermeable protective clothing,
respiratory protection, and by strictly following all prescribed safehandling procedures.
3) CORROSIVE MATERIALS
Corrosive materials are chemicals such as acids, alkalis, or other
liquids or solids which, when in contact with living tissue, will cause
severe damage to such tissue and/or metals by chemical action.
Handling and Usage Requirements As a minimum, wear chemical goggles,
full-face shields, and rubber gloves when handling acids or other
corrosive materials. Greater protection may be required as specified by
Maintenance Requirement Card, NSTM, industrial hygiene survey, or
manufacturer's instructions.
4) OXIDIZERS
An oxidizer is any material, such as chlorate, perchlorate,
permanganate, peroxide, nitrate or nitrite which yields oxygen readily
to support the combustion of organic matter, or which may produce heat,
or react explosively when it comes in contact with many other
materials.

Handling and Usage Requirements ensure that adequate supply and
exhaust ventilation is maintained in all spaces where HM is used,
Ensure PPE (eye protection, respirators, gloves appropriate to the HM
in use, etc.) is in good operating condition and is readily available
to all personnel working with HM.
5) AEROSOLS
Materials in aerosol containers: An ever-increasing demand exists
for pressurized (aerosol) dispensers for the application of paints,
enamels, lacquers, insecticides, inspection penetrant kits, lubricating
oils, silicones, and rust preventatives.
Handling and Usage Requirements ensure that adequate supply and
exhaust ventilation is maintained in all spaces where HM is used,
Ensure PPE (eye protection, respirators, gloves appropriate to the HM
in use, etc.) is in good operating condition and is readily available
to all personnel working with HM.
6) COMPRESSED GASES
Aboard Navy ships, numerous cylinders of compressed gases will be
found. Compressed gases are used for welding operations (oxygen and
acetylene), in refrigeration and air conditioning systems, and for
purging various systems (nitrogen).
Handling and Usage Requirements Avoid contact with toxic materials
by the proper use of suitable impermeable protective clothing,
respiratory protection, and by strictly following all prescribed safehandling procedures.
.3 Explain incompatible material and give an example used in naval
aviation. [ref. a, app. G]
Incompatible HM/HW - Materials that react with each other to produce
undesirable products. Mixing Incompatible hazardous material can6
produce heat, pressure, fire, explosion, toxic or irritating effects,
or flammable dusts, mists, fumes, or gases.

.5 Describe the label marking requirements of HM/HW. [ref. c, ch. 7]
A label developed by the facility that contains the following
information from the MSDS: the manufacturer’s name, product identity,
and hazard warnings.
HAZMAT removed from the original container poses the same risk to
the user and the environment as it does in the original container.
Without marking the secondary container, the possibility arises where
persons nay use the contents of the secondary container incorrectly. An
example of this would be to put paint stripper in a spray detergent
bottle. Unmarked, another person my use what he/she thinks is GP, when
in reality, it is paint stripper.
.6 Discuss requisitioning/return of HM and the purpose of the AUL.
[ref. a, app. C; ref. c, ch. 7]
1. HM Requisitioning
(1) Before ordering any HM, ships shall determine that a valid
requirement exists. The Ships Hazardous Material List (SHML) provides
the requirements for shipboard HM. Ships shall order only material
allowed by this document, unless otherwise specifically authorized by
the commanding officer (or other designated officer O-5 and above).
(2) If a HM minimization center (HAZMINCEN) is in operation, this
center shall requisition all HM (SHML is a record of the HM authorized
aboard U.S. Navy surface ships)
2. HM return.
At the completion of a maintenance action, the end of the workday,
or the end of a 7-day use period, work centers shall return unused HM
that was issued from the HAZMINCEN and its container as well as any
residue from the maintenance action to the HAZMINCEN.
The AUL shall identify the process(es) for each HM it lists. The
activity shall maintain this AUL for all HM it allows for use.

(5) Ensure all HAZMAT and HAZWASTE containers are properly
labeled, segregated, and free of corrosion and leakage.
(6) Maintain a profile log for each container of HAZWASTE.
.11 Discuss the requirements for HM inventories. [ref. a, app. C]
1. Inventories.
HAZMINCEN shall establish high and low (reorder point) stock levels
for each HM it manages and shall strive to maintain levels above the
low-level point. When the stock level of a HM reaches a reorder point,
HAZMINCEN shall obtain resupply from the supply department bulk stowage
and repackaged as necessary into units of issue work centers normally
require.
HAZMAT items must be stored in properly marked containers, suitable
to the contents of that container. Incompatible items shall not be
stored together.
HAZMAT storage areas shall be inspected daily to
insure that these requirements are met.
Bar-code control, list master inventory by type and location, and
Track it.
.12 Discuss the requirements for proper disposal of HW. [ref. d, ch. 12]
The 1992 FFCA provides that any HW generated on public vessels
(which includes Navy vessels) shall not be subject to the storage,
manifest, inspection, or record keeping requirements until such waste
is transferred to a shore facility:
Ships’ forces are required to follow the requirements of reference
with respect to the segregation, packaging, handling, safety, and
labeling of HM. In addition ships shall segregate solid wasted in
compliance with regulations of the State in which the waste is to be
off loaded; the receiving shore facility shall provide information
regarding waste segregation requirements. The “Used Hazardous Material”
label required for every container of used HM transferred horn the ship
contains
a
process
description
of
how
the
HM
was
used.
If
identification and labeling are not provided by the ship, the receiving
shore activity may designate ship’s used HM and solid waste based on
laboratory analysis, and charge the ship or fleet accounts, for lab
testing, and any additional handling, documentation, administrative and
overhead costs.
a. Adhesives - Store used or excess adhesives as you would
flammable materials (in approved, labeled containers) pending shore
disposal.
b. Grease - Store spent or spilled greases in approved containers,
original can, or double plastic bags. Seal and label container or bag
with contents and store as used hazardous flammable material pending
shore disposal.
c. Hydraulic fluid - Store spent or excess fluid in approved
containers for proper shore disposal.
d. Fuels - Store all excess fuels in fire safe drums for proper
shore disposal.
e. Waste oils - Store spent or excess oil and lubricants in
approved containers for proper shore disposal.
f.Paint/paint thinners - Store all used and excess paint and
thinners in approved containers for proper shore disposal.
* Common idea: follow the detailed Regulation. Most commonly,
double bag and label.
