From DWDD AFP Civil Relations Service Radio Website (Aug 19): SAFETY TRAINING  |  PN holds Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Determining Control

  

BONIFACIO NAVAL STATION, Fort Bonifacio, Metro Manila (DWDD) – The Naval Safety Office (NSO) facilitated the Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Determining Control (HIRADC) seminar-workshop attended by around 50 participants coming from different Philippine Navy (PN) units on Aug. 9 to 11 at Bonifacio Naval Station (BNS), Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City.

Two former NSO directors, Capt. Restituto Q. Bilbao, Jr., currently the Commander of BNS; and retired Navy Captain Mario C. Royena, shared their learning experience to the safety officers of different PN units who attended the first day of the activity. Relevant Standing Operating Procedures (SOPs) such as the PN Grounding and Other Unusual Incidents Review Board, HIRADC, and Motorcycle Safety Driving were discussed. Also, scenario-based exercises on safety management were undertaken to determine their level of proficiency.

On the succeeding days of the seminar-workshop, PN officers and enlisted personnel who are yet to undergo training on HIRADC were accommodated. They underwent thorough exercise in the identification of different potential hazards in work area, the process of HIRADC, and risk assessment and control that will help eliminate, minimize or mitigate accidents in the workplace. Also, institutions accredited by the Department of Labor and Employment facilitated lectures and group discussions.

The activity culminated in a simple ceremony with the Chief of Naval Staff as keynote speaker represented by the Assistant Chief of Naval Staff for Operations, N3, Capt. Roy Vincent T. Trinidad. He delivered an inspirational message to the participants on the importance and relevance of safety to all PN personnel, properties, and workplaces. NPAO / MCAG
