Chapter 2—ADMINISTRATION, SUPERVISION, AND TRAININGProficiency in EOCC procedures is maintainedthrough a well-administered training program.Primary training concentrates on controllingsingle-source casualties—those which may beattributed to the failure or malfunction of a singlecomponent or the failure of piping at a specificpoint in a system. Advanced training concentrateson controlling multiple casualties or on conduct-ing a battle problem. An effective and well-administered EOOW training program mustcontain, as a minimum, the following elements:master copy of this list, in addition to posting theindividual operating instructions and safetyprecautions throughout the engineering spaces. Ifany of the posted operating instructions and safetyprecautions are damaged or lost, a duplicate copycan be readily made up from the master list.For ships in commission and in service, plasticlaminated operating instructions and safetyprecautions are available; they are listed in theNavy Stock List of Forms and Publications,NAVSUP Publication 2002.Recognition of the symptoms.INSPECTIONS AND TRIALSProbable causes.Probable effects.Preventive actions that may be taken toreduce, eliminate, or control casualties.An EOSS package is not intended to be forgot-ten once it is developed and installed aboard aship. It offers many advantages to the ship’soperational readiness capabilities, providingdetailed step-by-step sequencing of events for allphases of the engineering-plant operation. Its pro-cedures are tailored to each specific ship andare prepared for each level of management andoperation. Because it is work-studied and system-oriented, the EOSS provides the basic informa-tion for the optimum utilization of equipment andsystems by specifying correct procedures tailoredfor a specific plant configuration.A naval ship must be inspected from time totime to ensure that its operation, administration,and equipment reflect a high standard of readinessfor war. The frequency with which the varioustypes of inspections are held are determined bythe CNO, the fleet commander, and the type com-mander. As far as the ship is concerned, the typecommander usually designates the type of inspec-tion and when it will be held.The EOSS is not intended to eliminate theneed for skilled plant operators. No program orsystem can achieve such a goal. The EOSS is atool for better utilization of manpower and skillsavailable. Although the EOSS is an excellent toolfor shipboard training of personnel, it is primarilya working system for scheduling, controlling, anddirecting plant operations and casualty-controlprocedures.A ship is frequently notified some time inadvance when an inspection will take place, butpreparation for an inspection should not bepostponed until the notice of inspection is re-ceived. It is a mistake to think that a poorlyadministered division or department can, by asudden burst of energy, be prepared to meet theinspector’s eagle eye. By using proper procedures,and keeping up to date on such items as repairwork, maintenance work, operating procedures,training of personnel, engineering casualty con-trol drills, maintenance records and reports, youwill always be ready for an inspection.Since your ship may be required to furnish aninspecting party to make an inspection on anothership, you as a CPO or PO1 may be assigned theduty as an assistant inspector. Therefore, youshould know something about the different typesof inspections and how they are conducted.OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSAND SAFETY PRECAUTIONSADMINISTRATIVE INSPECTIONA master list of all the engineering departmentoperating instructions and safety precautions iskept in the log room.
