How do I download an instruction off your website?
When on our "NAVOSH Instructions/publications" web page,
please use the following guidelines: The instructions are
formatted in a PDF format. This means that you cannot view
these files in Word. You must have Adobe
Acrobat® ReaderTM to view the files.
When "viewing" instructions on the "NAVOSH Instructions/publications"
web page, you must "left mouse click" on the instruction you
want to view. The larger the file, the longer it takes to
download it into Acrobat Reader. When Acrobat Reader first
comes up, it looks like the file is done and you are looking at blank
pages. This is not so! Acrobat Reader loads the entire file
before the screen changes. Give the file several minutes to
completely load the file before giving up. Zip files can not
be opened directly by use of the left-mouse button. A Zip file
must be downloaded to the hard drive first. Then it needs to
be extracted to a directory of your choice by use of WINZIP. Once
this is accomplished, the file can be opened.
Another way to view the file is to first download it to your hard drive
then open it up using Acrobat Reader. Viewing the instruction
this way is much faster since you're accessing the file from your hard
drive.
If you want to "download" the file to your hard drive, go to
the "NAVOSH Instructions/publications" web page and "right
mouse click" on the instruction title you want. Then save
the file to your hard drive by selecting "Save Target As".
Then select the directory in which you want to save the
instruction. Once the file has been saved to the hard drive,
open Acrobat Reader and view the instruction.
If you still can't download an instruction even though you tried the
above guidelines, please call Code 2023 at commerical (757) 445-8778 or
DSN 565-8778, extensions 316 or Code 2038 at commercial (757) 445-4757 or
DSN 565-4757. You may also e-mail your request to Navoshnor2023@navy.mil.
I'm having problems downloading an instruction,
why?
There are many reasons why a file won't download. Here are a
few:
Does your command have any safety-related
computer-based (CBT) or web-based training (WBT) modules?
Presently we have one CBT available. It's for
the Afloat Environmental Protection Coordinator (AEPC) course (A-4J-0021).
The formal,
instructor-lead course is taught via video tele-training (VTT) and is 3
days in length. The AEPC Interactive Courseware (ICW) is an
equivalent course to the instructor-lead version for those sailors who
prefer to learn in this manner. Copies of the AEPC ICW may be
obtained by contacting NAVOSHENVTRACEN Code 2037 at (757) 445-4762, DSN
565, fax (757) 445-4772, or email to Navoshnor2037@navy.mil.
A web-based version of the AEPC course will be available early
next fiscal year.
We are working with Chief of Naval Education and Training (CNET)
towards the development/procurement of additional NAVOSH training modules.
What is a PDF file and how do I download Adobe
Acrobat Reader?
Adobe® Portable Document Format (PDF) is the open de facto standard
for electronic document distribution worldwide. Adobe PDF is a
universal file format that preserves all of the fonts, formatting, colors,
and graphics of any source document, regardless of the application and
platform used to create it. PDF files are compact and can be
shared, viewed, navigated, and printed exactly as intended by anyone with
a free Adobe
Acrobat® ReaderTM.
How do I obtain NAVOSH videos?
Effective 1 July 2000, all ordering of Department of the Navy training
videotapes will be through the Defense Automated Visual Information
System/Defense Instructional Technology Information System (DAVIS/DITIS)
website. This site contains the searchable listings and
descriptions of thousands of audiovisual productions/videotapes and
interactive multimedia instruction (IMI) products used by DoD.
You can reach the DAVIS/DITIS site through: http://dodimagery.afis.osd.mil/dodimagery/davis/.
Where do I find PQS requirements for Safety
Programs Afloat?
Safety Programs Afloat Personnel Qualification Standard (PQS), NAVEDTRA
43460-4B, NSN 0501-LP-482-9500 was distributed in October 1996.
It can be obtained through Naval Education and Training
Professional Development Technology Center's (NETPDTC's) website at https://www.advancement.cnet.navy.mil/pqs/.
This PQS contains watchstation qualifications for Collateral Duty Safety
Officer; Electrical Safety Officer; Divisional Safety Petty Officer;
Electrical Tool Issue Petty Officer, and Heat Stress Monitor. Requirements
for the Safety Programs Afloat PQS are listed in OPNAVINST
5100.19(Series).
What is the Navy College Program and how can I get
more information about it?
The Navy College Program provides our Sailors with one-stop shopping to
determine recommended college credit for Navy training courses and work
experience, obtain academic counseling and advice in order to select and
enroll in a college of their choice either ashore or while deployed, and
identify career related education degree programs. It focuses
on helping Sailors to voluntarily obtain a college degree while in the
Navy, when they are ready and at their own pace. Visit their
web site at https://www.navycollege.navy.mil.
For more information call toll free (877) 253-7122 or DSN 922-1828,
Commercial (850) 452-1828, FAX: (850) 452-1281 or DSN 922-1281.
Questions can be asked directly through their web site at https://www.navycollege.navy.mil/mail.html.
The hours are 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. (Central Standard Time), 7 days

How do I get in contact with the Course Supervisor?
Contact NAVOSH and Environmental Training Center Admin at (757) 445-8778
ext 300 (DSN Prefix 564) or email navoshnor.admin@navy.mil.
You will be referred to the appropriate course supervisor.
What is the command's mission?
To provide quality education and training and associated services for
all military and civilian naval personnel, afloat and ashore, in the areas
of Occupational Safety, Health and Environmental Protection.
How do I find out class location, uniform
requirements, and other general course information?
The pertinent course information is posted on our web page under Course Info/Quota Request, click on view the current FY catalog, then click on the your selected course, click on the start date of the course you selected. If the information is not posted please contact the Student Control Officer at (757) 445-8778 ext. 324, DSN prefix 565, e-mail: navoshnor.admin@navy.mil
How do I cancel a class that I signed up for?
There are three ways to cancel a quota, they are:
Cancel quotas directly via the web page by accessing a Quota Cancellation
Form.
E-Mail Central Quota Control (central.quota@cnet.navy.mil) with the student's name, SSN, and the course/name number,
Send a cancellation message with the student's name, SSN, and the course/name to Central Quota Control Norfolk, VA
What is the telephone number to the Naval Safety
Center?
The Naval Safety Center's phone number is commercial (757) 444-3520 or
DSN 564-3520.
How can I get a copy of my graduation certificate
if I lost/misplaced mine?
If a student requests a duplicate certificate, we ask for their SSN,
pull up their training record in STASS, and forward a printout of the
student's training record, along with the person's official mailing
address, to the Course Supervisor for action. The Course
Supervisor makes the determination to provide a duplicate certificate.
What is the time frame (i.e., 24 hours, 1 week,
etc.) for canceling a quota?
Personnel having confirmed quotas must notify NAVOSHENVTRACEN of a
cancellation as soon as possible and in no case less than four (4) working
days prior to class convening date. You may provide notice by
e-mail, message or the Quota
Cancellation Form from the website. Central Quota Control
e-mail address is central.quota@cnet.navy.mil.
How do I obtain a quota for a convening?
Quotas may be requested by official letter, message, or directly
through our on-line Quota
Request Form. NO REQUESTS WILL BE TAKEN BY
TELEPHONE. WE NO LONGER REQUIRE SUBMISSION OF A DD FORM 1556.
All requests, whether by official letter, message, or through the
homepage require specific information. At a minimum, a quota
request must include:
I sent a quota request into your office and have
not received a confirmation for the class. What do I do wrong?
E-mail Central Quota Control at central.quota@cnet.navy.mil.
Provide them with the student's name & SSN, course
name/number, and the convening location/date(s).
Is there a time restriction on requesting a quota?
There are no time restrictions for requesting quotas. Due
to high demand, we recommend that quotas be requested as far in advance as
practical. Student names must be provided. "No
name" quotas will not be accepted since they frequently result in
"no shows" and prerequisites cannot be verified.
Why are prerequisites assigned for courses?
Prerequisites are established to ensure that students receive
appropriate training for their jobs, enter the class with adequate
background (in experience or previous training) to expect successful
course completion, and to promote efficient use of limited training
resources. Prerequisites for Occupational Safety and Health (OSH)
personnel have been established in support of OPNAVINST 5100.23 (series),
Navy Occupational Safety and Health Program Manual; OPNAVINST 5090.1
(series), Environmental and Natural Resources Program Manual; and
OPNAVINST 5100.19 (series), Navy Occupational Safety and Health Program
Manual for Forces Afloat. They are reviewed periodically and
validated by the Shore and Afloat NAVOSH Training Working Groups chartered
by the NAVOSH Training and Education QMB.
What happens if I don't meet a prerequisite?
First of all read prerequisites carefully and ensure that your written
request clearly states the specific prerequisite(s) the prospective
student(s) meets which establishes their eligibility to attend the
requested course. Waivers to all prerequisites must be
submitted in accordance with the following procedures:
If a waiver to a prerequisite is required, the activity must submit an
official letter with written justification signed by the Commanding
Officer with the quota request. The statement "meets all
prerequisites" is not adequate and will not be accepted. This
process is intended to ensure that command leadership understands that
their proposed student may not be the best candidate and to reduce the
numbers of requests we receive to help "pad someone's resume".
We are funded to train Navy and Marine Corps personnel for
their jobs while they are in the Naval Service! The NAVOSH Training and
Education QMB endorse this waiver process. Appendix
B contains a list of Echelon II OSH Managers whom may be of help with
questions concerning requirements.
All military and civilian personnel must have 12 months from course
date remaining in job assignment.
Requests should be mailed to the following address:
How do I cancel a class that I signed up for?
There are three ways to cancel a quota, they are:
What uniform should I wear to my class?
The uniform to wear to class is the working uniform of the day (i.e.,
Officer/CPO's wear service khakis & E-6 and below summer white during
the summer and winter blue during the winter months). If the
course has special clothing requirements (i.e., safety shoes, change of
clothing, hearing protection, etc.) it will be noted in the course
description page located at Table
of Contents. If the information is not posted, please
contact Student Control at (757) 445-8778 ext. 324, DSN prefix 565, e-mail
Navoshnor20A1@navy.mil.
Where is my class being held and when does it
start?
Class locations are posted under the course description page located at
Table
of Contents. If the information is not posted, please contact Student
Control at (757) 445-8778 ext. 324, DSN prefix 565, e-mail Navoshnor20A1@navy.mil.
Why was my class canceled?
As course convening dates reach the 60 day prior to convening and the
enrollments are low, our Course Supervisors contact local POC's in the
area of the convening. LTA's are a primary POC as well as
local safety and environmental offices. A "go/no go"
decision is typically made 30 days prior to a convening in order to allow
sufficient time to alert participants of relevant details or cancellation.
Because of the high cost of conducting training at locations
outside NAVOSHENVTRACEN sites, minimum attendance levels are established
for each convening reflecting contractor costs, instructor loads, travel
expenses, etc. Failure to attract sufficient students will
also have an adverse impact on rescheduling that course at that location
in the out-years. Therefore, every effort is made to ensure
local personnel are alerted to training opportunities.
How do I substitute one student for another?
E-mail Central Quota Control at central.quota@cnet.navy.mil,
with the currently enrolled student's name & SSN, and the
substitution's name and SSN; the course name/number that student's
enrolled in, and request to substitute the seat. Substitutes must meet
course prerequisites.
Can contractors attend courses offered at
NAVOSHENVTRACEN?
Contractors can attend courses offered at NAVOSHENVTRACEN IF their
contract specifies that the government will provide (as part of the
contract) the course requested. The Navy organization that
administers the contract must state that this is so in the quota request.
Can military members and DOD employees of services
other than US NAVY and USMC attend courses offered at NAVOSHENVTRACEN?
Military members and DOD employees of services other than US NAVY and
USMC, will only be considered for our courses 30 days prior to class
convening, if space is available.
How and where do I get my travel arrangements
taken care of (i.e., BEQ/BOQ/hotel, rental car, airline reservations,
etc.)?
This command does not handle travel arrangements, your local SATO
office should provide this service.
Are maps/directions available to show me where I
need to go for my class?
Some maps are placed on the website for you to download. When viewing
the course schedule, click on the red date that links to the specific
location of the class. If a map is available online, a link will show for
the map to that base. If a map is not listed online, students should
contact Code 011 at commercial (757) 445-8778 or DSN 565-8778, extension
300. You may also e-mail your request to navoshnor.admin@navy.mil.
How do I obtain shore environmental courses?
There are three ways to obtain shore environmental courses:
What is an add-on convening?
Add-on convenings are occasionally scheduled later in the year if
NAVOSHENVTRACEN has sufficient funds to cover extra convenings.
In this case, we will control quotas and arrange for
classrooms, etc. Generally these convenings will be advertised
via our home page and a special message that the Course Supervisor will
originate. As stated above, our Course Supervisors review
special requests for training received throughout the year that were not
met, determine the number of students denied training because classes were
full, and assess any other relevant information.
How do I obtain a special convening for my
command?
When activities or LTA's have emergent training needs during the
execution year they can request a special convening of a course be brought
to their activity/location by submitting a formal written request to CO
NAVOSHENVTRACEN. The letter request should indicate the
course requested, CIN number, desired date(s)/timeframe, estimated number
of students meeting the course prerequisites expected to attend, their
point of contact, and whether they can pay travel, per diem and contractor
costs (as appropriate). List your phone conversation if
contact with the staff has already been made. Provide as much
lead-time as possible and recommend at least a primary and secondary
convening date if possible. Note that approvals are not made
over the phone. The Course Supervisor will, upon receipt of
the formal request, determine the feasibility of conducting the training
and coordinate with the contractor/in-house staff. The Course
Supervisors will prepare a response recommending approval/disapproval.
It will indicate course convening dates, who is controlling
quotas, who is paying for course expenses and indicate the POC's and phone
numbers. Note, approval or disapproval is not complete until
the letter is signed out or the CO or XO gives approval.
How are courses scheduled?
Our course catalog is developed utilizing input from the claimants
annual training needs assessment data provided to NAVOSHENVTRACEN
projecting the number of anticipated students needing training for each
course and broken down by regional training locations. We also
utilize throughput data from at least three prior years showing actual
student attendance by course and location. Our Course
Supervisors also review special requests for training received throughout
the year and not met, determine the number of students denied training
because classes were full, and assess any other relevant information.
How do I get specific information about a course?
The course description page containing the course description,
prerequisites, convening dates/locations for each course is located in our
course catalog. Hard copies of our course catalog can be obtained by calling Code 011 at
commercial (757) 445-8778 or DSN 565-8778, extension 300. You
may also e-mail your request to navoshnor.admin@navy.mil.
I can't print out the Incompatible Materials Chart
because I don't have a color printer. How do I get a hard copy
of the Incompatible Materials Chart?
To receive copies of the Incompatible Materials Chart you can either
call commercial (757) 445-4757 or DSN 565-4757 or e-mail your request to navoshnor.admin@navy.mil.
Be sure to send a good mailing address with Zip Code to ensure
delivery.
Is there any way that I can obtain my Certified
Industrial Hygiene (CIH) Professional credentials through the Navy?
No, the Navy does not sponsor CIH certification. You can
gain information about the certification process by accessing their
website at http://www.abih.org/.
For more information or application materials, contact the
staff office at:
Where can I go to receive occupational safety and
health professional certification?

What is STEP and where can I get more information
about it?
STEP is a technology-based Interactive Courseware program that delivers
training to sailors at their worksites (ship or station). For
more information visit NETC's website at https://www.netc.navy.mil/.
How is my personal information protected on the
Quota Request Form?
Personal data entered on the Quota Request Form is encrypted before
it's sent over the Internet. In fact, to access the quota
request form, your browser must be able to access the Transmission Control
Protocol/ Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
In addition, your computer's assigned Internet Protocol (IP)
address, which is controlled by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), must
remain the same from the time you enter your personal information until
you leave the Quota Request Form. For more information about
Web security, please read about encryption.
What is encryption?
Encryption means that your personal data is scrambled and locked with a
mathematical key during the electronic transfer. Most browsers
have an icon such as a key or a lock to represent an encrypted mode or
session. A broken key, open lock, or no lock indicates that
the session or mode is not encrypted.
How does my Web browser affect the security of
Quota Request Form?
Your Web browser must meet our requirements for maintaining the privacy
and security of your personal information. Your Web browser
must support Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) Ver. 2 or Ver. 3.
More information about encryption on a browser can usually be found in
the security information section of the browser's "Help" feature
(look for information about encryption). You can also contact
Netscape, Microsoft, your system administrator, or your Internet service
provider for information about the level of encryption on your browser.

Having Problems with QUOTA REQUEST FORM?
If you're having problems opening the Quota Request or Quota Cancellation
Form, please have your ADP personnel perform the following steps: Go into
the "Internet Options" (usually found under "Tools" or
"View" depending on what version of Internet Explorer you're
using). Once in "Internet Options", select the
"Advanced" tab. Then select the "Restore
Defaults" button, which is located below the "Settings"
window. Once this is done select "Apply" then
"OK". Restart your computer at this time.
The Quota Request or Quota Cancellation Form should work.
Basically you are resetting the default options for how the
browser views a page. If you continue to have problems, please
contact the command's WebMaster at navoshnor.webmaster@navy.mil.
I am a Government employee working overseas and I
am unable to use the Quota Request Form because of restrictions on the SSL
of TCP/IP. What can I do?
Our Web site has upgraded encryption that provides overseas personnel with
the capability to access this area of the site. Therefore,
U.S. citizens working at overseas locations for the Government can now
access the Quota Request Form if they are using a recent browser for
example, Netscape
Navigatior 4.0 or Microsoft
Internet Explorer 4.0 or later versions). This new
capability, referred to as International
Step-up or Global
Server ID, establishes a temporary SSL session that allows secure
quotas control access for our customers.
What is meant by "fair share" of quotas
granted to one command?
Quotas are granted on a "first-come, first-served" basis to
those prospective students who meet the course pre-requisites.
If more than 20% of the available quotas are received from a
command for a particular course at a particular date/location, then quotas
will only be granted to 20% of the total quotas for the class from that
command. If the class is not full within 30-days of a
convening, then additional quotas will be granted to a command regardless
of whether that command has received its' "fair share" or not.
These quotas will also be granted on a "first-come,
first-served" basis. Marines who wish to attend our
regularly scheduled courses, the "fair share" limitation of 20%
is applied to the entire Marine Corps, not to individual commands within
the Marine Corps. No more than 20% of the available quotas
will be granted to Marine Corps applicants on a "first-come,
first-served" basis in competition with applicants from Navy
activities. Additional quotas may be granted to Marine Corps
personnel within 30-days of a convening if the class is not full.
USMC Headquarters routinely purchases a number of convenings of a
variety of courses throughout the fiscal year which are open to Marine
Corps personnel only. It is expected that Marine Corps
applicants will take advantage of these convenings first before requesting
quotas in our regularly scheduled courses.
NAVOSHENVTRACEN follows a "fair share" policy to prevent one
command from "monopolizing" the available seats in a particular
class to the detriment of other commands who may also need this class
being held at a particular location.
How do I get a NEC 9571 (Safety Technician)?
