III.(1) OPNAVINST 5090.1A provides hazardous materials spill response and reportingprocedures for spills over the side, in Navy, non-Navy, and foreign ports. Reportformats are provided.(2) Any environmentally significant spill requires an OPREP-3 report.d. Mishap reports to the Naval Safety Center are only required if the hazardous materialexposure required medical treatment, resulted in five lost workdays, or caused a death.HAZARDOUSMATERIALSPILLDRILLSHazardous material spill drills must be conducted at least annually. These drills are inaddition to the already required mercury spill drills, OTTO fuel spill drills, and othersrequired by separate directives. The drill should be realistic and related to the ship class.The DCTT should develop spill drill scenarios involving the entire fire party.SUMMARY:Hazardous material spills may become damage control situations that threaten the ship and personnel.Damage control parties must be aware that, although similar to other damage control situations, spills mayrequire special handling and precautions because of the chemical involved. Damage control personnelmust be trained and drilled to understand hazardous material spill response procedures.FOR MORE INFORMATION CONSULT OPNAVINST 5100.19B, APPENDIX B3-A.SPILL RESPONSE SCENARIOS ARE PROVIDED. SELECT ONE FOR A HAZARDOUSMATERIAL FREQUENTLY USED ON BOARD (MSDS AVAILABLE) OR DEVELOP YOUROWN DRILL.Figure 1-1.—Sample lesson plan—Continued.HAZARDOUS MATERIAL SPILLRESPONSE DRILL SCENARIOSThe following sample hazardous material spillresponse drill scenarios (fig. 1-2) have been collectedfrom several ships.The DCTT should review anddiscuss these scenarios for applicability to your ship.Each drill should involve as many actions as possible.Walk through the scenario first to train personnel beforeconducting a complete drill. Each duty section and allCDOs and fire marshals should observe or participatein a hazardous material spill drill. If available, use yourship’s spill response kit.Other scenarios could include a crane deliveringa pallet load of paint breaking over the helo deck andspilling; several 5-gallon cans of ammonia floor waxstripper breaking free during heavy weather andspilling in a berthing area; or a 50-pound container ofpowdered citric acid falling in the engine room andbreaking open, spilling the powder into the bilges andover two levels of deck grating. Be creative, butrealistic.Gasoline SpillFigure 1-3 is a sample of a training drill scenarioand evaluation sample for a gasoline spill drill. Thisscenario, like all others, should be tailored to meet theneeds of your ship. The purpose of this sample is toprovide you, the supervisor, a practical way to initiatethe drill and to monitor and evaluate your responseteam’s abilities. Keep in mind, the maximum creditpoints are arbitrary. You should assign point valuesbased on the importance of each task beingperformed.1-8
