The correct answer is: Chapter 5

The correct answer highlights Chapter 5 of OPNAVINST 5100.23 Series, which is specifically dedicated to the establishment and maintenance of an effective hazard control program at every level of command. This chapter lays out the essential requirements, responsibilities, and procedures necessary for identifying, evaluating, and controlling hazards in order to ensure a safe working environment. By detailing the need for a structured hazard control program, this chapter serves as the backbone for promoting safety practices and minimizing risks associated with work-related hazards. It emphasizes the importance of proactive risk management and the systematic approach required to address potential dangers effectively, benefiting both personnel and operational readiness. The other chapters, although relevant to safety and health, do not specifically address the comprehensive directives surrounding the hazard control program as outlined in Chapter 5.
