Common Safety Orientation (CSO) Practice Test

Who provides support for the NAVOSH Program according to relevant Navy instructions?

1. Local command staff

2. National safety organizations

3. Chief of Naval Operations

4. COMNAVSAFCEN

The correct answer is: COMNAVSAFCEN

The correct answer identifies COMNAVSAFCEN, which is the Chief of Naval Safety Center. This organization plays a pivotal role in supporting the Navy Occupational Safety and Health (NAVOSH) Program by providing guidance, oversight, and resources related to safety practices and policies within the Navy. COMNAVSAFCEN is responsible for promoting safety programs, conducting inspections, and offering training that aligns with the Navy's safety regulations. The contributions of COMNAVSAFCEN are essential for maintaining safety standards and ensuring compliance with Navy instructions, ultimately enhancing the overall safety culture within naval operations. Their expertise and resources help local commands implement effective safety measures and foster a proactive approach towards occupational health and safety. The other options, while they may have some involvement in safety, do not have the specific and formal responsibility for supporting the NAVOSH Program as outlined by Navy regulations. Local command staff, for example, implement safety protocols but operate under the guidance provided by higher authorities such as COMNAVSAFCEN. National safety organizations provide broader safety insights but do not tailor their support to the specific Navy structure and operations. The Chief of Naval Operations has overarching responsibilities but is not as directly involved in the day-to-day operation and support of the NAVOSH Program as COMNAVSAFCEN
