NAVY SAFETY AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH PROGRAM MANUAL FOR FORCES AFLOAT

Hazardous Material Control and Management

A HAZMAT control and management program that requires HAZMAT (used and excess HAZMAT and empty HAZMAT containers) to be centrally controlled onboard ships and submarines.

contains requirements on storage and segregation, and consolidation and transfer of HAZMAT

contains the Hazardous Materials Users Guide (HMUG), and provides storage, compatibility, and safety requirements and health information for personnel responsible for using, storing, and handling chemicals.

provides ship HAZMINCEN managers standardized guidance toward operating an effective HAZMINCEN program

HAZMAT is 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 incorrectly used, purposefully released, or accidentally spilled.

SM is defined as all non-metallic materials and toxicologically significant metals (e.g. beryllium, cadmium, lead, and mercury).

An HW is a solid waste or combination of solid waste which, because of its quantity, concentration or physical, chemical or infectious characteristics, may: (1) cause or significantly contribute to an increase in mortality or an increase in serious irreversible or incapacitating reversible illness; or (2) pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or the environment when improperly treated, stored, transported, disposed of or otherwise managed.

material that has been used in a shipboard process or maintenance action and for which there is no further, immediate use on board the ship processing the material

unused material in unopened, properly sealed containers for which there is no further, immediate use on board the ship possessing the material.

state what the hazards of the product are, how to use the product safely, what to do if accidents occur, how to recognize symptoms of overexposure, and what to do if such incidents occur.

must e-mail the SDS to Naval Supply Systems (NAVSUP) Weapons Support System (WSS) Hazardous Material and Pollution Prevention Department (N26)

A DoD automated system developed and maintained by the Defense Logistics Agency. HMIRS is the central repository for SDS for the United States Government Military Services and civil agencies.

Annually

A two-digit alphanumeric code that provides a means of categorizing HAZMAT for space utilization management and compatible storage.

the Hazardous Material Inventory Control System for Windows (HICSWIN) and Submarine Hazardous Material Inventory and Management System (SHIMS)

A code utilized to indicate that an item represents or contains peculiar material requiring special treatment or management control such as HAZMAT or other special characteristics (i.e., magnetic or electro static sensitive (ESDS)).

B, C, D, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Z, 5, 7, and 8. SMCC "O" identifies material with "off-gassing" considerations applicable to submarines.

The SHML is the master HAZMAT authorized use list for surface ships and embarked detachments. The list was developed to ensure only approved HAZMAT authorized for use aboard ship is brought aboard ships

A subset of the master SHML tailored to a class or classes of ships. T-SHMLs have been built into HICSWIN as the authorized use list for each ship.

monthly to ship supply departments.

A code on the SHML that identifies when a HAZMAT can be stored and used on board.

indicates the material is authorized for shipboard use.

indicates material is prohibited for shipboard use and must not be stored or used aboard ship.

indicates material having shipboard use restrictions

indicates material is obsolete, due to Navy interest being discontinued or national item identification number or Navy item control number being cancelled.

indicates material has not been reviewed to determine if the material is authorized for shipboard use.

The MMI code on the SHML identifies which HAZMAT the HAZMINCEN controls and manages.

Yes indicates that the HAZMINCEN must actively manage the material in the HAZMINCEN by providing appropriate storage, issuing, and tracking of material.

No indicates the HAZMAT needs to be tracked in HICSWIN, but does not require storing in or daily issuing from the HAZMINCEN

HICSWIN is the principal software system used on Navy surface ships for implementing the Navy's CHRIMP. PCs and submarines do not have HICSWIN onboard.

SHIMS is a menu driven HAZMAT inventory and management tool for use aboard submarines to easily track, identify storage location, and determine which HAZMAT has been approved for procurement and use.

SMCL is the master authorized use list for submarines

A report that requests an item be reviewed to validate the operational and maintenance application requirement for an item. If a valid requirement exists and no other authorized material is suitable, the item will be added to the SHML or SMCL.

HAZMAT must not be procured until the SFR has been reviewed and the ship provided with the final determination

to the NAVSUP WSS Pollution Prevention and Havardous Material Afloat Division (N261), notifying the appropriate TYCOM and procurement department of the pending action

Naval Surface Warfare Center (NAVSURFWARCEN), Carderock Division, Hazardous Material Management Branch (Code 634).

all HAZMAT requests must be reviewed against the SHML or SMCL prior to purchase to ensure that the material is authorized onboard. All HAZMAT locally purchased must be provided to the supply department for recording in HICSWIN or SHIMS as applicable

HMIRS SDS or in the HICSWIN or SHIMS applications. If the HCC is not on the HMIRS SDS, contact NAVSUP WSS Code N261.

All HAZMAT containers must be labeled either with the original manufacturers label, DD 2521 Hazardous Chemical Warning Label (8-½ x 11), or DD 2522 Hazardous Chemical Warning Label (4 x 6), or one generated by the ship if the original label is damaged or secondary containers are used.
