This section provides Afloat Safety Officers with the knowledge
and insight they need to prepare their ship’s crew for a scheduled
availability. Due to the dynamic nature of an availability, this section
can not provide information to cover all possible hazard scenarios.
However, it will provide the Afloat Safety Officer with the basic tools
needed to anticipate and handle hazard scenarios as they arise and to
provide the Afloat Safety Officer with an avenue to ask questions and to
provide lessons learned.
Repair availabilities, from extended overhauls to intermediate
maintenance availabilities, are among the most dangerous evolutions on a
ship’s schedule. During fiscal year 1995 until the conclusion of
fiscal year 1999, 43% (70/164) of all afloat class A and B mishaps
occurred during an upkeep availability or overhaul.
As the Naval Safety Center develops it's Safety in Availability
Program, we will revise and add to this web site. Afloat Safety Officers
are encouraged to refer to this web site often, as it will be updated on
a continual basis. Afloat Safety Officers are also encouraged to provide
their comments, insights, and lessons learned that can only be acquired
by managing an afloat safety program during an availability. Information
provided by Afloat Safety Officers will be posted on this web site to
benefit other Afloat Safety Officers who are beginning their
availability period.
