Background Background Naval Ordnance Safety & Security Activity NOSSA audits Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) contractors executing work at a Munitions contractors executing work at a Munitions Response Site (MRS) to determine the extent to which they are complying with applicable y p y g pp environmental, safety, and occupational health requirements Audits are a critical component of the NOSSA oversight program which culminates in formal verification that final munitions response actions verification that final munitions response actions were completed in accordance with approved explosives safety documentation explosives safety documentation Providing ordnance safety for the Naval enterprise Providing ordnance safety for the Naval enterprise Providing ordnance safety for the Naval enterprise Providing ordnance safety for the Naval enterprise 3

Audit Trend Analysis (1) Audit Trend Analysis (1) Naval Ordnance Safety & Security Activity Trends (FY05 FY13) Trends (FY05-FY13) Analysis Analysis • Total number of findings per audit • Auditor was learning more about each doubled audit category and was gaining confidence • Audit findings for failure to follow ESS • Site personnel are either: (a) Procedures have increased ten fold assuming everything they need to know is in the Work Plan (WP) and/or k i i th W k Pl (WP) d/ Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP); or (b) being hired on Friday to begin work on Monday g y • Audit findings for failure to follow • Too many plans/procedures are not WP/QAPP Procedures and SOPs tailored to the MRS (copy and paste to have increased ten fold blame?)

Audit Trend Analysis (2) Audit Trend Analysis (2) Naval Ordnance Safety & Security Activity Trends (FY05 FY13) Trends (FY05-FY13) Analysis Analysis • Explosives Safety findings • Explosives safety rules applicable to represented nearly 1 in 5 of all FY-05- them as a UXO contractor are different FY13 findings (tighter?) than when they where EOD techs in uniform • From FY05 thru FY09 Explosives • This is most likely the result of recent Safety findings averaged 7/year; from Safety findings averaged 7/year; from increased auditor scrutiny in this area increased auditor scrutiny in this area FY10 thru FY13 they averaged 21/ year…a three-fold increase • Material Potentially Presenting an • Material Potentially Presenting an • Policy and regulations for managing • Policy and regulations for managing Explosive Hazard (MPPEH) findings MPPEH have gotten tighter/more have increased nearly 6 fold from complex and UXO contractors have FY05 to FY13 not kept up with changes Providing ordnance safety for the Naval enterprise Providing ordnance safety for the Naval enterprise Providing ordnance safety for the Naval enterprise Providing ordnance safety for the Naval enterprise 11 11
Audit Trend Analysis (3) Audit Trend Analysis (3) Naval Ordnance Safety & Security Activity Trends (FY05 FY13) Trends (FY05-FY13) Analysis Analysis • Explosives Storage and • No clear explanation available for this Transportation findings tripled trend between FY05 and FY13 • Findings in Environmental and • No trend to analyze Security holding fairly steady • Findings in Training/Qualifications • UXO contractors have learned what I peaked in FY06 thru FY08, but since look for and are working hard to then have decreased by half ensure only trained/qualified personnel are on site are on site • QC/QA findings have increased five- • UXOQCS quality training seem to be fold between FY05 and FY13 lacking; meanwhile demands on UXOQCS’s have increased with DoD implementation of UFP QAPP process Providing ordnance safety for the Naval enterprise Providing ordnance safety for the Naval enterprise Providing ordnance safety for the Naval enterprise Providing ordnance safety for the Naval enterprise 12 12
