Precautions Taken Against Toxic Gases: A systematic procedure for testing for toxic gas was employed, and was in charge of by Lieutenant Commander C. M. Parker, USN, a specialist in industrial gas hazards. A large bulletin board was used to inform personnel which compartments were safe and which should not be entered without proper mask protection. Although extraordinarily high concentrations of gases were found on the West Virginia (200,000 parts per million (ppm)) there were no individuals overcome by the toxic environment. If concentrations on the detectors reached 20 ppm the space was considered unsafe for entry except when entered with a rescue breathing apparatus or suitable face plate with air lead. 4
Regulatory History THE FORCE BEHIND THE FLEET 1965 - Vessel Explodes in Guam; CO s start designating GFE as collateral duty *1970 - OSHA formed; mandates gas free program guidelines under 29CFR1915 Subpart B on all vessels 1982 - Formal GFE Program established by NAVSEA S6470-AA-SAF-010 SAF10 Manual. 1986 - USCG mandates Marine Chemist inspections before USCG vessel inspections 5
