Installation Program Director (This is a federal job)
Duties, Accomplishments and Related Skills:
12/01/2013-Present. Serves as Installation Program Director and manager of a
highly successful Safety Department efficiently meeting the needs of all
Commander Fleet Activities Okinawa (CFAO) customers by directing and
prioritizing resources and personnel where and when needed to ensure
compliance with all Japanese Host Nation, Federal and U.S. Navy
Environmental and Occupational Safety and Health regulations. A leader with
the vision and ability to see how the safety department integrates into the
command’s big picture by leading a team of four in providing expert
Occupational and Explosives Safety services to a diverse work environment
including airfield operations comprised of three hangars, one helipad and
associated parking aprons, two port operations locations including three piers
and amphibious vehicle landing ramp, explosives storage and handling at over 60
magazines and operations buildings, logistics operations at four warehouses and
administrative work areas for a Navy command at five disparate locations,
2. totaling 300 buildings and over $1 billion in assets.
A renewed emphasis on identifying, reporting and correcting hazardous
conditions was accomplished by increasing workplace inspections completed
from 105 in FY13 to 332 in FY14 where 196 deficiencies were identified, 130
were abated with the remainder awaiting funding. Controls were implemented
for unabated deficiencies to protect personnel and equipment with follow up
inspections conducted monthly. Trend analysis focused safety services and
prioritized program initiatives to eliminate those hazards posing greatest threat to
personnel. Attention was focused on Electrical Safety and Fire Protection/Life
Safety Code compliance. In addition, a Fall Protection database was developed
to identify all work practices and buildings that pose a fall hazard to personnel. A
comprehensive fall plan was developed for the communications technicians at
Awase communications facility when performing maintenance aloft on the
station antennas.
The Hazardous Material/Hazardous Waste (HM/HW) program was and the
CFAO governing instruction was revised to bring CFAO and Tenant Commands
in compliance with required regulations. Specific improvements included a
comprehensive storage locker inspection program and development of a
HM/HW locker and storage locations listing for quick reference. In addition, 10
out of 136 lockers were identified for immediate replacement due to
compromised fire protection integrity, severe corrosion from the sea/salt
environment and non-functioning doors/locks. Compatibility charts were
provided for all lockers eliminating incompatible storage incidents. Electronic
Authorized Use Lists (AUL) were developed for 22 Tenant commands replacing
outdated hard copy records allowing immediate updates/changes in AUL items,
instant cross reference and matching to appropriate Safety Data Sheets. The HM
ordering process was simplified reducing processing time from seven days to
less than two by use of electronic request forms replacing hard copy requests
previously routed by hand.
A review of all safety department employee Individual Development Plans
revealed no employee had attended safety program training the previous seven
years, some classes dating back to 1999. A new plan was developed for each
individual, and a schedule developed allowing refresher training within the next
36 months updating every employee’s Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities. A
variety of safety training was conducted for CFAO Department and Tenant
Command active duty, U.S. DoD civilian and Japanese local national employees
through one-on-one, class room and twice annual Safety Stand Downs conducted
in a theater environment. Topics from seasonal typhoon preparation and safety,
hazard identification/awareness, to traffic safety, mishap trends and
recreation/water safety have directly contributed to the low injury incidents in
FY14 where 460 personnel experienced only five occupational mishaps.
Acting as Explosives Safety Officer (ESO) due to vacant ESO position, manages
an Explosives Safety Program that has performed 42 separate explosives and
ammunition evolutions over the past 18 months. Explosives of all classes totaling
over 925,975 lbs. Net Explosive Weight were transported from military
munitions storage magazines on four different installations across public
3. roadways and municipalities completely accident free. Operations included on
load and off load of munitions and explosives from a wide class of ships via pier
side and shipboard cranes with capacities up to 100,000lb. moving explosives for
U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, United States Marine Corps, Japanese
Maritime and Ground Self Defense Forces as well as other allied nations.
Manages a departmental annual budget of $36,000 and serves as Government
Credit Card purchase program Approving Official, providing purchase review,
approval and audit assistance to CFAO Finance Department.
