1. Engineering Documentation
We Love Paperwork!

2. Introduction Technical Information Systems
Engineering Operational Guidelines
Logs and Records
Tagouts

3. Technical Information Sources
Naval Ships’ Technical Manual (NSTM)
Provides general interest information to entire fleet (electrical safety precautions, shipboard firefighting, damage control)
Ship Information Book (SIB)
Specific ship information generated by the shipyard who built the ship (schematics, equipment information, data)

4. Technical Information Sources
Equipment Technical Manuals
Specific information and instructions for individual equipment
Written by manufacturer
Blueprints and drawings
Microfiche & paper form
Used for piping systems, wiring diagrams, & drydocking plans

5. Engineering Op Guidelines (Conventional)
Engineering Operational Procedure (EOP)
Instructions and guidelines for completing all normal evolutions (ex: plant startup)
Engineering Operational Casualty Control (EOCC)
Instructions and guidelines for combating all casualty conditions (ex: steam line rupture)

6. Engineering Operational Guidelines (Nuclear)
Reactor Plant Manual (RPM)
Provides all instructions and guidelines for normal evolutions and casualty conditions for the reactor plant
Steam & Electric Plant Manual (S&EPM)
Same as RPM but for engineering plant (electric plant and propulsion plant)

11. Watchstation Operating Logs
Historical data base to observe equipment operating trends for both short and long term analysis
Aid in identifying possible abnormalities
TRENDS!!!

12. Watchstation Log

13. Tagouts Purpose: Aid in ensuring safety of personnel and equipment
Danger
Used when safety of personnel and/or equipment would be jeopardized
Prohibits operation of equipment to which the tag is attached
Mechanical or Electrical systems

14. Danger Tag

15. Tagouts
Caution
Convey amplifying information or special instructions to ensure safe operation of system or component

16. Caution Tag

17. Writing Tagouts
One person identifies scope of work and writes tags to isolate work boundaries
Second person independently verifies the scope of work and ensures the tags adequately isolate the work boundaries

20. “Hanging Tags”
An officer verifies the tags and authorizes hanging the tags -> One person places valves, breakers, etc, in correct position and hangs tags
Second person independently verifies that the tags are hung in the correct places and that the valves, breakers, etc, are in the correct positions
Once work is complete and the system is restored, an officer authorizes the removal of the tags
