  • Requirements for Scientific Diver Certification
    Requirements for Scientific Diver Certification The steps to become a Certified Scientific Diver at the University of Washington (UW) are outlined below. 1. Obtain sponsorship for scientific diving by an appropriate University department or unit. Applicants who do not have a departmental sponsor and want to learn to be scientific divers can complete the Scientific Diver Course at UW Friday Harbor Labs. This course meets the requirements for full Scientific Diver certification as outlined below, and includes research projects for students to receive dive training. 2. Read the UW Diving Safety Manual. UW divers must understand and follow the safety, procedural, and medical requirements outlined in the manual and submit a signed copy of the Dive Manual Acknowledgement form. 3. Complete and submit the Diving Registration Form to the UW Diving Safety Officer (DSO). This form must be signed by the department official sponsoring the diver (e.g., principal investigator, department chair) . Submission of this form is a onetime requirement while at the UW. The form is resubmitted if any diver information changes. 4. Complete and submit documentation of recreational SCUBA diver training to UW DSO. Diving applicants must have completed a recreational SCUBA diving training course as a pre-requisite for scientific diving certification at the UW. Recreational SCUBA diving training must be provided by a nationally recognized organization (e.g., PADI, NAUI, SSI, IANTD, TDI). 5. Obtain Diving Medical Clearance from the UW Employee Health Center. Applicants will contact the UW Employee Health Center (EHC) to obtain necessary information for completing a dive physical and for transfer of medical records.

  • Conducting a Job Safety Analysis to Eliminate Hazards
    Practical Tips CONDUCTING A JOB SAFETY ANALYSIS TO ELIMINATE HAZARDS What is Job Safety Analysis? A job safety analysis (JSA) is a method for making your job safer. In a JSA, you do three things: 1. Observe step-by-step how a worker does an on-the-job task. 2. Look for possible hazards in each step of the task. 3. Suggest ways to eliminate or reduce each hazard so each step of the task is safer. A supervisor and typically two to three employees who know many steps involved in a job usually make up a JSA team. This number can vary depending on the complexity of the equipment or process. One employee can actually do the steps of the task. The others watch and write down on a JSA worksheet what they see. Performing the Job Safety Analysis Listing the Steps in the Task While one employee performs the task, the others watch and write down each step of the task. Keep the following tips in mind as you make the list in the first column of the JSA form: • List from 8 to 10 task steps that you can see. • Number each step. • List the steps in the order in which they are performed. • Use actions words such as "turn on," "load," "steer," or "unload." • Ask yourself, "What step starts this task?" List the first step, such as "put on PPE." • Then ask yourself, "What is the next basic step?" • List the next steps, such as "check that power is OFF" or "get into the operator's seat." • Tell completely but briefly what is done in each step, such as "lift the load and back out." Do not tell how the step is done, "lift the load with the fork slightly raised and back out slowly." • Continue in this way until you have listed every basic step in the task.
