Unit 5 - GFE
What is the purpose of the gas free engineering program? - ANS-Provide a safe
working and living environment
General hazard awareness training
How to solve for volumetric flow? What do the variables mean? - ANS-Q = [[C
(100-LEL)] / LEL ] * Vv * gal/min * % solvent
Q = volumetric flow
C = 10
Vv = vapor vol per 1 gal
How do you determine the Permissable Exposure Limit? - ANS-C/T1 + C/T2 + C/T3 =
>1
c = amount measured
t = PEL toxin
>1 = above PEL
Navy gas free personnel are qualified according to what? - ANS-NSTM 074 Vol 3
What are the minimum gas free manning requirements for ships? - ANS--one GFE
-One GFEA
-GFEPO for each IET
-GFEPO for each DCRS
-GFEPO for the at-sea fire party
What are the initial requirements for a GFE? - ANS--CPO or above
-completed the GFE afloat training course
-complete 40 hours of OJT under the supervision of an official GFE
When can a CO waive the 40 hour OJT GFE requirement? - ANS-graduated from an
approved GFE training site within the last 36 months
No qualified GFE on board.
, CO approval
What are the initial requirements for GFEA - ANS--must be an E-6 or above
-have completed the GFE afloat training course
What are the initial requirements for a GFEPO? - ANS--must be an E-4 or above
-completed the formal training course
-complete the PQS
What are the requirements for a FM? - ANS--the GFE PQS
-CO designation letter
What must all GFE personnel be trained in? - ANS--emergency rescue procedures
-GFE procedures and tech
-basic life support and CPR
When is re-certification of GFEP accomplished? - ANS-Annually
What are the re-certification requirements? - ANS--10 drops in the year
-5 gas free evolutions under the direct supervision of a certified GFE
-emergency rescue procedures
-CPR
What does the GFE emergency rescue team consist of? - ANS-1) GFE
2) primary rescue team (investigator plus rescuer)
3) secondary rescuer
4) attendants
5) master at arms
6) medical department representative
7) electrician
8) DCC phone talker
9) OOD
