SAFETY CHAIN OF COMMAND
The Chief of Naval Operations (Environmental
Protection, Safety, and Occupational Health Division),
N45, sets policy and establishes safety standards for the
NAVOSH Program. N45 carries out the policies of the
NAVOSH Program Manual, OPNAVINST 5100.23C,
and NAVOSH Program Manual for Forces Afloat,
OPNAVINST 5100.19B. N45 maintains close liaison
with other agencies within the Office of the Chief of
Naval Operations (OPNAV) to provide safety and
occupational health standards for surface ships,
submarines, and aviation commands.
OPNAVINST 5100.23C specifies the proper chain
of command and responsibilities for the NAVOSH
program. Ashore and afloat, all activities, commands,
commanders, commanding officers, and officers in
charge must carry out an effective safety and
occupational health program. Administrative
responsibility for safety extends from SECNAV to CNO
to Commander in Chief, Atlantic Fleet
(CINCLANTFLT) and Commander in Chief, Pacific
Fleet (CINCPACFLT) for shore and afloat commands.
The CNO provides primary support for the
NAVOSH Program. The various systems commands,
the Naval Safety Center, Chief of Naval Education and
Training, and the Navy’s Inspector General provide
specified support. Type commanders and afloat group
and squadron commanders ensure their subordinate
units carry out an effective safety and occupational
health program.
