17006 MARCOR OSH PROGRAM MANUALb. Chronic exposure. Long duration or repeated exposures(more than one work shift).5. Synergistic Effects. Effects of some substances may bemagnified by the action of other substances, resulting in aneffect on the body that is greater than either of thesubstance's effect individually or added together.17007. SAFE HANDLING OF LIQUID OXYGEN (LOX). The use, storage,<strong>and</strong> h<strong>and</strong>ling of liquid oxygen must be done in accordance withall applicable instructions. Particular hazards include theextreme cold temperature of the material, as well as extremereactivity when exposed to petroleum products. See NAVAIR A6-332-AO-GYD-000, Laboratory <strong>and</strong> Field Guide for AviationBreathing Oxygen (ABO) Surveillance Program Manual <strong>and</strong> FieldGuide <strong>and</strong> NAVAIR 06-30-501, Technical Manual for Oxygen-NitrogenCryogenics Systems for further guidance.17008. LITHIUM BATTERY SAFETY1. Backgrounda. The <strong>Navy</strong> initiated an effort in the early 1970s toassess <strong>and</strong> control the risks associated with using lithiumbatteries. This effort developed into the <strong>Navy</strong>’s LithiumBattery Safety Program. Naval Sea Systems Comm<strong>and</strong> (NAVSEA)Instruction 9310.1B (13 June 1991) <strong>and</strong> NAVSEA Technical ManualS9310-AQ-SAF-010 (20 July 88) govern the program. The NavalOrdnance Safety <strong>and</strong> Security Activity (NOSSA), under theauspices of the Explosive Safety Office for <strong>Navy</strong> Systems,oversees the program. NOSSA Code N31 grants <strong>safety</strong> approval foruse of lithium batteries in specified systems/equipment onshore-based activities <strong>and</strong> surface platforms. NAVSEA Code 92Tauthorizes transportation <strong>and</strong> use of lithium battery <strong>and</strong>lithium-battery-powered equipment on sub<strong>marine</strong>s. Lithiumbattery transportation <strong>and</strong> use on aircraft is coordinatedthrough NAVAIR Code 4.4.4.1. Naval Surface Warfare Center(NSWC), Carderock Division, Code 644; <strong>and</strong> NSWC, Crane Division,Code 609A supports NOSSA as technical experts on lithium battery<strong>safety</strong>.
