EPA Vessel Safety Manual ~<t)'1'fJJ8t... ~ (& "l U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY ~AI( PR(f(i--:1'+ VESSEL SAFETY MANUAL OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATION AND RESOURCES MANAGEMENT SAFETY. HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT DIVISION WASHINGTON, DC APRIL 2012 FOREWORD This manual sets forth minimum acceptable requirements for the safety and occupational health of all individuals (crew, scientific staff and passengers) who embark on U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) vessels of any size. EPA vessels currently range in size from the Ocean Survey Vessel Bold (224 feet) and Great Lakes Research Vessel Lake Guardian (180 feet), down to 14-foot aluminum skiffs powered by small outboard engines, canoes and inflatables. Accordingly, this manual addresses the entire spectrum of EPA vessel sizes, powered and unpowered. EPA vessels may be operated under contract or charter, by professionally qualified EPA crew, or, in the case of small craft, by EPA scientific staff on an intermittent basis. To achieve the EPA goal of minimizing risk to anyone who embarks on an EPA vessel, all concerned shall read and understand the requirements of this manual. EPA vessels are public vessels of the United States. It is EPA’s intent to maintain compliance with those existing standards and codes of marine safety (which appear in Title 46 of the Code of Federal Regulations) deemed necessary to achieve the EPA risk management objective. To that end, this manual sets forth the minimum requirements that must be met to attain EPA’s marine health and safety objectives. All aspects of “good marine practice” cannot be set forth in statutes, regulations or standards. Accordingly, the absence of a written requirement for a specific issue should not be interpreted as meaning that the issue has a lower importance or priority. Vessel captains/masters and operators of small craft should emphasize to all personnel that health and safety are considered to be paramount at all times onboard EPA vessels. EPA Class C vessels’ contractor crews are subject to the Safety of Life at Sea International Safety Management Code. This manual provides the top-tier policy for implementing this code requirement. In addition to safety requirements, this manual also includes general security requirements for all EPA vessels. The EPA's Safety, Health and Environmental Management Division welcomes any suggestions for improving this manual. Please contact us at [email protected] to provide your feedback.

  • USS CONSTELLATION Page 4 United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Registration Form
    NPS Form 10-900 USDI/NPS NRHP Registration Form (Rev. 8-86) OMB No. 1024-0018 USS CONSTELLATION Page 4 United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Registration Form Summary The USS Constellation’s career in naval service spanned one hundred years: from commissioning on July 28, 1855 at Norfolk Navy Yard, Virginia to final decommissioning on February 4, 1955 at Boston, Massachusetts. (She was moved to Baltimore, Maryland in the summer of 1955.) During that century this sailing sloop-of-war, sometimes termed a “corvette,” was nationally significant for its ante-bellum service, particularly for its role in the effort to end the foreign slave trade. It is also nationally significant as a major resource in the mid-19th century United States Navy representing a technological turning point in the history of U.S. naval architecture. In addition, the USS Constellation is significant for its Civil War activities, its late 19th century missions, and for its unique contribution to international relations both at the close of the 19th century and during World War II. At one time it was believed that Constellation was a 1797 ship contemporary to the frigate Constitution moored in Boston. This led to a long-standing controversy over the actual identity of the Constellation. Maritime scholars long ago reached consensus that the vessel currently moored in Baltimore is the 1850s U.S. navy sloop-of-war, not the earlier 1797 frigate. Describe Present and Historic Physical Appearance. The USS Constellation, now preserved at Baltimore, Maryland, was built at the navy yard at Norfolk, Virginia.

  • THE NAVAL SERVICE.Tif
    CHAPTER TWELVE THE NAVAL SERVICE Ninety percent of the world's commerce travels by sea; the vast majority of the world's population lives within a few hundred miles of the oceans; nearly three quarters of the planet is covered by water. Seapower protects the American way of life. -A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower Every danger of a military character to which the United States is exposed can be met best outside her own territory-at sea. -Rear Admiral Alfred Thayer Mahan n 2007 the U.S. Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy issued A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower, representing the first time the three services I jointly crafted a maritime strategy. The document stresses the naval services' mutual commitment to protecting the homeland and winning and preventing wars. Proliferation of weapons and information technology to transnational threats and rogue states poses an increasing range of threats to U.S. security interests. In addition to threats from kinetic weapons, hybrid warfare threats (e.g., financial, cyber) pose new challenges for the sea services, demanding a coordinated strategy and response. To better understand how responsibility for security in the maritime domain is shared among the sea services, this chapter describes organization, mis­ sion, and capabilities of each. 157 158 Naval Officer's Guide The Department of the Navy The Department of the Navy (DON) is to "be organized, trained, and equipped primarily for prompt and sustained combat incident to operations at sea'' (Navy Regulations art. 0202). The National Security Act of i947, as amended in i949, gov­ erns the role of the Navy in national defense.

  • AREVA Design Control Document Rev. 1
    U.S. EPR FINAL SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT 9.5 Other Auxiliary Systems 9.5.1 Fire Protection System The purpose of the fire protection system (FPS) is to protect other plant systems and equipment which provide the capability to safely shut down the reactor, maintain it in a safe shutdown condition, control radioactive releases to the environment, and to prevent personnel injury and property damage in the event of a fire. The FPS consists of design features, personnel, equipment, and procedures to provide defense-in-depth protection of public health and safety. The program is implemented during station operations by the prevention, detection, annunciation, confinement, and extinguishment of fire. Administrative controls, training, inspection, testing, and quality assurance (QA) provide reasonable assurance of the operability of the program. The FPS, including administrative controls and the fire brigade, are implemented prior to receiving fuel on site for fuel storage areas and for the entire station prior to reactor startup. 9.5.1.1 Design Basis The FPS is designed in accordance with: ● 10 CFR 50.48 - Fire Protection. ● 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, GDC 3 - Fire Protection. ● 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, GDC 5 - Sharing of Structures, Systems, and Components. ● 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, GDC 19 - Control Room. ● 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, GDC 23 - Protection System Failure Modes. ● 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, GDC 56 - Primary Containment Isolation. ● NUREG-0800, Standard Review Plan 9.5.1 - Fire Protection Program (Reference 37). ● RG 1.29 - Seismic Design Classification, Revision 4. ● RG 1.189 - Fire Protection for Nuclear Power Plants, Revision 1.

    Gundalow Company Volunteer Manual Updated Jan 2018 Protecting the Piscataqua Region’s Maritime Heritage and Environment through Education and Action Table of Contents Welcome Organizational Overview General Orientation The Role of Volunteers Volunteer Expectations Operations on the Gundalow Workplace Safety Youth Programs Appendix Welcome aboard! On a rainy day in June, 1982, the replica gundalow CAPTAIN EDWARD H. ADAMS was launched into the Piscataqua River while several hundred people lined the banks to watch this historic event. It took an impressive community effort to build the 70' replica on the grounds of Strawbery Banke Museum, with a group of dedicated shipwrights and volunteers led by local legendary boat builder Bud McIntosh. This event celebrated the hundreds of cargo-carrying gundalows built in the Piscataqua Region starting in 1650. At the same time, it celebrated the 20th-century creation of a unique teaching platform that travelled to Piscataqua region riverfront towns carrying a message that raised awareness of this region's maritime heritage and the environmental threats to our rivers. For just over 25 years, the ADAMS was used as a dock-side attraction so people could learn about the role of gundalows in this region’s economic development as well as hundreds of years of human impact on the estuary. When the Gundalow Company inherited the ADAMS from Strawbery Banke Museum in 2002, the opportunity to build a new gundalow that could sail with students and the public became a priority, and for the next decade, we continued the programs ion the ADAMS while pursuing the vision to build a gundalow that could be more than a dock-side attraction.
