Enterprise Safety Application
Management System (ESAMS)
Support for
Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) Process
(As identified by the DoD VPP CX)
INTRODUCTION
Enterprise Safety Application Management System (ESAMS) is a data
management system that meets ANSI/AIHA Z10-205 American National Standard Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems principles. The tools incorporated
in ESAMS support Operational Risk Management (ORM) requirements and assist a
command’s progress towards OSHA Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) recognition
by:
• Making safety management system documentation (instructions, policies
and procedures, goals and objectives, commitment statements and
standard operating procedures) readily available to all employees.
• Providing a clearly defined process to identify and track task specific
training, medical surveillance, and personal protective equipment
requirements tied to hazards.
• Providing a systematic process to track the identification and control of
hazards identified by mishap investigations, Industrial Hygiene Surveys,
employee reports of hazards, inspections, surveys, and annual program
reviews.
• Supporting all Federal, DoD, and DoN Instruction reporting and recording
requirements.
• Supporting users at all levels by providing access to reports containing
summarized and detailed information to help meet their responsibilities in
the Safety and Health Management System.
• Supporting communication of hazard information amongst commands and
installations.
This document has been developed as a guide using the Department of Defense
VPP Center of Excellence (DoD VPP CX) Onsite Evaluation Element (VPP GAP
ANALYSIS) format. Where ESAMS can support an element, we have provided
descriptions of how ESAMS can support it. Additional process specific information is
included to assist users in documenting the process in their instructions.
To facilitate navigation through this document, book marks have been included
and the table of contents was designed based on the element, sub element and questions
identified in the Gap Analysis form. The book marks and table of contents will link you
to the page where support information can be found for each analysis question. ESAMS
support information is identified in dark blue font.
As ESAMS users identify additional areas where the system can support the DoD
VPP CX Onsite Evaluation Element, this document will be updated.

personnel if applicable:
ƒ Respirator program requirements
ƒ Personal Protective Equipment requirements
ƒ Medical Surveillance requirements
o SOH Inspection and Hazard Abatement status reports can be run for
their area of responsibility. In addition, they can demonstrate
proactive leadership in this area by being identified as the POC for all
SOH Inspections conducted in their area so they can have full access
to follow-up on the status for each inspection and deficiency.

Rewards Program
Stage 1 A system of rewards, positive reinforcement, and recognition for S&H
performance is established.
Reports available in ESAMS provide the ability to make the system of rewards and
recognition more meaningful as it can be based on actual performance based on historical
data over a selected time frame. The reports that can be used to determine employee,
supervisor, and management performance as it pertains to their safety requirements are:
• Supervisor Safety Training Report Card – shows how well the supervisor has met
their personal training requirements and ensured the employees have met theirs.
• Medical Surveillance – Shows that the employee and supervisor have met their
requirements as it pertains to attending physical exams when required.
• Hazard Abatement – Reports show that employees have been proactive in
resolving identified hazards they have been assigned.
• Mishap Reporting – Shows that employees report to their supervisor and
supervisors submit reports of mishaps in a timely manner.
Stage 2 A recognition system for S&H performance has been implemented to encourage
reporting of accidents, injuries, illnesses, and near misses.
Rewards and recognition based on actual reporting metrics provided in ESAMS will
encourage more timely and complete reporting.
Stage 3 The recognition system is an effective tool in facilitating achievement of the sites'
S&H goals and objectives.
Any recognition system will be more meaningful and effective given the use of reports
based on actual performance metrics contained in ESAMS.

associated deficiencies.
- Notifications are provided to inspectors, points of contact, and persons
responsible.
- Deficiencies are tracked through the following lifecycle:
• New – being written (developed) by the inspector. Inspection is open.
• Response Required – Inspection closed; notifications sent to persons
responsible; awaiting action by the person responsible. E-mails notification
sent every 30 days until status is updated.
• Abatement Initiated – corrective action(s) have been identified and initiated;
estimated completion date determined; interim controls are in place. E-mail
notifications sent every 30 days until status updated.
• Request Closure – corrective action(s) are complete; e-mail sent to inspector;
awaiting action (verification and status update) by inspector
• Closed – inspector has verified correction(s) are complete and adequate to
abate the identified hazard.
• Further Action Required – status update used by inspector to identify that
actions taken were not adequate to eliminate the hazard. Sends deficiency
back to response required status.

ESAMS provides a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) process which can be used to conduct and
track pre-use analysis. Once the JHA is complete, it goes through a review and approval
process to allow designated personnel additional analysis opportunity. Approved JHAs
are then added to training requirements for affected employees.
Stage 2 Pre use analysis is documented and integrated during the procurement/design
phase.
The JHA process is a documented process to include:
• Initial development captures the following data:
o Description
o Command / Other affected departments
o PCN Code
o Hazard Category
o IH Survey (if applicable)
o Other tools used
o Chemicals used
• Step identification to include the following:
o Step description
o Potential Injury/Damage
o Recommended controls
o PPE required to prevent injury/illness
• The JHA is then submitted to designated personnel for review to ensure
completeness and accuracy.
• Approval of the JHA is conducted by designated personnel upon completion of all
reviews.
• The JHA becomes a part of the training plan for all affected personnel.
Stage 3 The pre use-analysis system is reviewed at least annually and tasks resulting in
high injury and illnesses that have experienced significant incidents/near-misses, or are
considered high hazard tasks (i.e., catastrophic explosion, electrocution, etc.) are
identified, abated and/or controlled.
A duty/task can be assigned to designated personnel which will assign and track

They can use the JHA to provide training for the task and document the training provided
upon completion. This is an especially useful tool for non-routine tasks.
Supervisors can update existing or create new JHAs to document changes in steps, tools,
or chemicals used in a process. When complete, the JHA will be reviewed and approved
by others to ensure accuracy and completeness.
Stage 2 B2. Hazards of significant changes procedures are implemented and employees
are trained prior to performing tasks.
Updated or new JHAs are reviewed and approved by designated personnel.
The supervisor uses the approved JHA to provide task specific training to include the
steps of the task, associated hazards, hazard controls and required PPE.
The supervisor then documents completion of the training for their personnel who
received the training.
Stage 3 The hazards of significant change procedure is reviewed at least annually and the
results are incorporated in the appropriate sections of the site S&HMS.
Designated personnel can be assigned a task which includes the requirement to
conduct a review of the pre-use analysis system. Based on the assigned task, ESAMS
will send reminders to the personnel as reviews are coming due and completion of
reviews can be tracked.

Stage 1 H1&2. Written procedures are established enabling the site's employees,
managers, or trained outsiders to evaluate the entire site’s S&HMS annually addressing
the four key elements and all the sub-elements of VPP.
The Self Assessment application in ESAMS provides a systematic procedure to
conduct an annual evaluation of all aspects of the site’s S&HMS. It incorporates a
layered approach based on the OPNAVINST 5100.23 Series Process Review and
Measurement System (PR&MS). The application allows the administrator to select
which SOH, Traffic and or RODS programs pertain to their S&HMS. Designated
personnel then evaluate assigned program(s) by documenting the following items per
program:
• Overall goal/purpose of the program
• Evaluation criteria/ methodology
• Module analysis, current status, adequacy of resources and personnel
participation for each of the following PR&MS Modules
o Mishap Prevention
o Regulatory Compliance
o Supervision
o Training
o Customer Focused Support
• Not all modules have to be completed.
Upon completion of the above analysis, Process Improvement Goals to enhance
the S&HMS are developed. A developed goal can be associated with one or more
programs and one or more modules.
To accomplish the sited improvement goal, action items are created with the
following information:
• Action Item Description
• Due Date
• Responsible Person(s)
• Estimated Cost
Action items are then updated by the responsible person(s) to include current
status, completion date, and actual cost.
Stage 2 H1. Trained and experienced personnel conduct the S&HMS evaluations and
understand the purpose and use of the annual self-evaluation system.
Plan Of Action And Milestones (POA&M) Reports are available for
administrators to determine the current status of evaluation processes and identified
action items throughout the year.
The report can be used to brief safety committee/council members to ensure all
participants are aware of the current status of goals and action items.

Recordkeeping
Stage 1 OSHA 300 logs are maintained in accordance with 29 CFR 1904 Federal
Recordkeeping Guidelines and at a minimum; all work related injuries and illnesses are
recorded on the log within 7 calendar days; the log is certified by a company executive as
described in 29 CFR 1904, and; the previous years log is posted for employee viewing by
February 1 and not removed earlier than April 30 of the year following the year covered
by the form.
The ESAMS Mishap Reporting and Investigation application implements a process that
fully meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1904 Federal Recordkeeping Guidelines. All
OSHA 300 Logs and requirements are fully integrated into ESAMS.
The mishap reporting process is as follows:
• Employees make immediate verbal report of injury, illness, or property damage to
their supervisors.
• Supervisor completes and submits required report form in ESAMS.
• Upon submission, ESAMS sends e-mail notification to designated personnel who
can then, depending on access level, either review the report or open the report for
processing (document investigation data).
• The ESAMS Mishap Report meets the requirements of the OSHA 301
requirements.
• When the report is closed (investigation results and required data have been
entered), the administrator determines if this report meets the OSHA 300 Log
requirements.
• ESAMS provides an OSHA 300 Log of all designated mishaps, selectable by year
and command that can be printed or saved in electronic format.
• The OSHA 300A Summary Report can also be generated by the administrator for
posting in accordance with 29 CFR 1904 requirements. This report can be
generated by year and command similar to the OSHA 300 Log.
Stage 2 Individual(s) responsible for maintaining OSHA 300 logs has/have been
adequately trained; is/are knowledgeable of the recordkeeping requirements and
selection of the appropriate North American Industry Classification System code; is/are
accurately maintaining; submitting annual reports and retaining the logs for five years
following the year to which it pertains, and; the logs are being reviewed to determine if
control programs are effective, or if additional control measures may need to be
implemented.
PowerPoint material for the 29 CFR 1904 Federal Recordkeeping Guidelines is
available in the Mishap Reporting application for use by designated personnel to provide
training. This information can be accessed anytime and is useful as reference material.
Links to the 29 CFR 1904, OSHA 300 forms, OPNAVINST 5100.23 Series, and

IV. SAFETY AND HEALTH TRAINING
Safety and Health Training / Training Needs Assessment
A1. What are the safety and health training requirements for managers, supervisors,
employees, and contractors?
In ESAMS, requirements for training are determined by the Duty/Task
that is assigned to the individual. The Duty/Task process in ESAMS begins with
the Safety Office working with HGW to develop a library of Duties/Tasks for a
particular Command (UIC) so that they can later be assigned to an individual by
the ESAMS Administrator or the ESAMS Supervisor. After determining the
safety and health training requirements for managers, supervisors, employees, and
contractors, the Safety Office will complete a template for a particular Duty/Task
and send that template to HGW. HGW will create that duty/task according to the
template and add it to the library for the particular Command (UIC). An
individual Duty/Task will be made for each of those groups (e.g., managers,
supervisors, employees, and contractors). Once the Duties/Tasks have been
added to the library by HGW, an ESAMS Administrator or ESAMS Supervisor
will assign the appropriate Duty/Task to the individual. Once assigned, the
system recognizes the training requirements for the individual and will send out
reminders to the individual about his or her particular requirements. The ESAMS
Administrator and/or ESAMS Supervisor can run reports concerning the
individual’s requirements. The Safety Office does periodic reviews of the
Duties/Tasks as instructions, regulations, processes, IH Surveys, etc., change.
These reviews prompt updates to the Duty/Task and are automatically reflected in
the individual’s requirements. ESAMS Administrators and/or ESAMS
Supervisors remove and/or add Duties/Tasks to the individual as their position
and/or job changes.
Individuals in ESAMS can determine their training needs through the email
notifications that are sent to them monthly or by looking at their individual
“Outstanding Training” report located in their Profile or under the My Links
section in ESAMS.
Supervisors can determine the training needs of their Direct Reports through the
email notifications that are sent to them monthly or by running the “Training
Plan” report under their Supervisor Tools section in ESAMS.
ESAMS Administrators can determine the training needs of individuals in their
organization through the use of several reports found in the Training section of
RMS. There is one particular report in this section that summarizes the training
needs of the ESAMS Administrator’s organization. This report is entitled
Training Needs Assessment.
Stage 1 A1 & 3. A site specific training needs assessment has been conducted for all
employees, including new and temporary employees, contractors, managers, supervisors
and non-supervisory.

Safety and Health Training / Training Needs Assessment
A3 How is the safety and health training needs for employees determined?
In ESAMS, requirements for training are determined by the Duty/Task that is
assigned to the individual. The Duty/Task process in ESAMS begins with the
Safety Office working with HGW to develop a library of Duties/Tasks for a
particular Command (UIC) so that they can later be assigned to an individual by
the ESAMS Administrator or the ESAMS Supervisor. After determining the
safety and health training requirements for managers, supervisors, employees, and
contractors, the Safety Office will complete a template for a particular Duty/Task
and send that template to HGW. HGW will create that duty/task according to the
template and add it to the library for the particular Command (UIC). An
individual Duty/Task will be made for each of those groups (e.g., managers,
supervisors, employees, and contractors). Once the Duties/Tasks have been
added to the library by HGW, an ESAMS Administrator or ESAMS Supervisor
will assign the appropriate Duty/Task to the individual. Once assigned, the
system recognizes the training requirements for the individual and will send out
reminders to the individual about his or her particular requirements. The ESAMS
Administrator and/or ESAMS Supervisor can run reports concerning the
individual’s requirements. The Safety Office does periodic reviews of the
Duties/Tasks as instructions, regulations, processes, IH Surveys, etc., change.
These reviews prompt updates to the Duty/Task and are automatically reflected in
the individual’s requirements. ESAMS Administrators and/or ESAMS
Supervisors remove and/or add Duties/Tasks to the individual as their position
and/or job changes.
Individuals in ESAMS can determine their training needs through the email
notifications that are sent to them monthly or by looking at their individual
“Outstanding Training” report located in their Profile or under the My Links
section in ESAMS.
Supervisors can determine the training needs of their Direct Reports through the

A5. What system is in place to ensure that all employees and contractors have received
and understand the appropriate training?
ESAMS records receipt of training by individuals in several ways:
• TRMS New/Edit Class – Administrators can record training in this section
of ESAMS by creating the class, enrolling students, and recording a status
(pass, fail, absent, etc.). Documentation for the class (e.g., sign-in sheets,
certificates, etc.) can be attached. Notes of explanation can be recorded
for each individual class. A change log records date, time, and individual
making the change for audit purposes.
• OJT by Supervisor – Supervisors can record when they have provided
training to their direct reports on certain courses. Notes of explanation can
be recorded for each individual OJT class. A change log records date,
time, and individual making the change for audit purposes.
• Web-Online Courses – Certain courses are available online in ESAMS.
There are two types of web-online courses in ESAMS, Read Only and
Test Out. When individuals take the Read Only web-online course, they
are prompted at the end of the course to click a button to indicate that they
have read the material. Once they click that button, acknowledgement of
the individual reading the material is automatically recorded in ESAMS.
To automatically record credit for taking a Test Out web-online course,
the individual has to pass a test. Passing scores for a particular web-online
course is determined by each region and/or claimant using ESAMS.
• Data Transfers – ESAMS does share data with other Navy databases that
record training.
ESAMS records understanding of training by individuals in several ways:
• TRMS New/Edit Class – Administrators can document individual test
scores for each class if tests are given. Documentation for each class (e.g.,
written tests, answer keys, skills exercises, etc.) can be attached. Notes
explaining individual comprehension can be recorded for each individual
class.
• OJT by Supervisor - Supervisors can document individual test scores for
each class if tests are given. Notes explaining individual comprehension
can be recorded for each individual class. Supervisors can record selfinspections which can identify problems with an individual’s
understanding of safety training.
• Web-Online Courses – The Test Out web-online courses record the scores
for individuals who have taken the course.
• IDATS – Safety Administrators can record problems found in an
individual’s understanding of training that they have received during
workplace inspections. The Safety Inspector can run a pre-inspection
report to identify the training requirements and completed training of
individuals in a particular command and/or department. Using this
139
Revised March 3, 2008
information, the Safety Inspector can then identify if individuals have a
lack of understanding of course material that they have received or if they
are doing jobs for which they have yet to receive training.
Training Needs Assessment – Needs assessment for understanding and receipt of
training can be determined by running reports in several areas of ESAMS:
• Training – several reports in this area can determine receipt of training by
individuals.
• Inspections (IDATS) – reports in this area can determine receipt of
training and lack of understanding of material.
• Mishaps (IIRTS) – reports in this area can determine receipt of training
and lack of understanding of material.
• Unsafe/Unhealthful – reports in this area can determine receipt of training
and lack of understanding of material.
Stage 1

Stage 3 A5. A process is in place to assess employee comprehension of training received
and training is conducted using media that is understandable and relevant to the site.
In addition to the methods mentioned in A5 to assess the employees comprehension of
training received, ESAMS incorporates documentation of reviews of the web-online
courses and OJT courses found in the application. This review process is made by
subject matter experts and is done annually. Safety managers have access to reports that
help them review the effectiveness of questions asked on ESAMS Test Out courses and
evaluation forms filled out by the individuals.

Safety and Health Training – Supervisory and Top Management training is
available online in ESAMS. This type of training provides management with the
general hazards that can be found at their site. Several documents (e.g.,
instructions, SOPs, JHAs, etc.) can be posted for each installation and is available
for all ESAMS users to read. These documents provide more specific information
concerning hazards at the respective sites. The Duty/Task report found in RMS
can indicate to management how many individuals work in low- to high-hazard
jobs.
Training Needs Assessment – Management has several reports to assist in the
assessment of hazards found at their site.
• Executive Safety Summary – This report summarizes the mishaps,
deficiencies, training, and employee surveys for their organization.
Mishaps are summarized by type and class. Deficiencies are summarized
by RAC.
• Duty/Task Report – This report found in RMS can indicate to
management how many individuals work in low- to high-hazard jobs.
• Master Quarterly Deficiency Report – This report informs management of
deficiencies that are still open after 30 days.
• Deficiency Report – This report allows management to query the system
for information on their deficiencies (e.g., RAC, standard violated, group
deficiency by hazard category, etc.).
• Hazard Abatement CO’s Report – This report allows management to
query the system on the abatements that may or may not be taken for their
deficiencies.
• Injury/Illness Trend Report – This report trends mishaps so that
management can evaluate for increase risks.
• Mishap Five Year Summary – This report trends mishaps so that
management can evaluate for increase risks.
• Mishap Five Year Traffic Summary – This report trends mishaps so that
management can evaluate for increased traffic risks.
• Traffic Mishap Listing – This report allows management to dissect the
types of Traffic Mishaps occurring at their installation.

Safety and Health Training / Training Program Development
A1. What are the safety and health training requirements for managers, supervisors,
employees, and contractors?
Safety and Health Training – In ESAMS Safety and Health Training requirements
are determined by the duties/tasks that are assigned to the individual.
Training Program Development – In general, the Safety Professional uses
information from regulations, instructions, SOPs, JHAs, and IH Surveys to
develop a duty/task library. ESAMS Administrators and supervisors are trained
on the importance of the duty/task process and how to assign duties/tasks to the
individual. ESAMS also provides an online JHA development process that helps
the Safety Professional in understanding training requirements for a specific job.
The Training Needs Assessment report helps the Safety Professional in
determining how many classes are needed during any given time frame to fulfill
requirements associated with the assigned duties/tasks.
Stage 1 A1-4, 6 & 7. An effective written general S&H training program has been
developed that establishes who provides and receives training, when and how the training
will be provided, and how the effectiveness of the training will be determined.
Who provides training – The regional or claimant safety office determines which courses
can be provided online for the individual to take themselves. They also determine which
OJT courses can be taught and recorded by the supervisor. As to classroom training, an
ESAMS administrator can designate person(s) who are qualified to teach a particular
course on the individual’s TRMS record. Instructor’s completion of qualifying courses
can be recorded in TRMS New/Edit Class. Certificates can be attached as documents to
the Instructor’s TRMS record. External instructors that do not have a TRMS record can
be added to an external database and recorded as instructors on a particular class record.
Who receives training – The duty/task process identifies who needs training. Reports in
ESAMS can be run to identify who has taken training and who may be deficient in
required training.
When the training will be provided – ESAMS calculates the due date for requirements
using information provided on the course record. This date displays on the individual’s
profile, in the supervisor’s Training Plan Report, and can be queried by an ESAMS
Administrator in several reports in RMS. Safety Professionals can use the “Training
Needs Assessment Report” in RMS to determine if any classroom training needs to be
scheduled for a particular course.
How the training will be provided – ESAMS tells individuals on their Profile where they
can go to get training for each requirement and if the training can be done online,
provided by the supervisor, or fulfilled in a classroom setting. Administrators can
determine from the “Training Needs Assessment Report” if they need to schedule
classroom training or if the training can be obtained from the web or supervisor.
143
Revised March 3, 2008
Administrators can post scheduled classroom training online so individuals can see the
schedule and sign-up for a particular required class. Supervisors can also see the posted
class schedule and enroll their direct reports in training that they are required to take.
Auto-generated emails inform students that are enrolled in a class when and where the
class is going to be taught.
Effectiveness of Training – Several reports and documents help determine the
effectiveness of training provided, for example:
• Deficiency Report – This report can be run to see if any deficiencies are a
result of lack of training or understanding of training received.
• Traffic Mishap and Related Training – This report helps to determine if
training is effective in preventing traffic mishaps.
• Employee Concern Status – This report helps in evaluating unsafe or
unhealthful conditions being reported by their population and see if
training may be a factor.
• Other reports can be used together to determine training effectiveness,
e.g., the “Training History Report” to check how many people have
received Ergonomics Training and the “Injury/Illness Trend Report” to see
if ergonomics mishaps are increasing or declining.

explaining individual comprehension can be recorded for each individual
class.
• OJT by Supervisor - Supervisors can document individual test scores for
each class if tests are given. Notes explaining individual comprehension
can be recorded for each individual class. Supervisors can record selfinspections which can identify problems with an individual’s
understanding of safety training.
• Web-Online Courses – The Test Out web-online courses record the scores
for individuals who have taken the course.
• IDATS – Safety Administrators can record problems found in an
individual’s understanding of training they have received during
workplace inspections. The Safety Inspector can run a pre-inspection
report to identify the training requirements and completed training of
individuals in a particular command and/or department. Using this
information the Safety Inspector can then identify if individuals have a
lack of understanding of course material they have received or if they are
doing jobs for which they have yet to receive training.

Safety and Health Training – In ESAMS Safety and Health Training requirements
are determined by the duties/tasks that are assigned to the individual.
Training Program Development – In general, the Safety Professional uses
information from regulations, instructions, SOPs, JHAs, and IH Surveys to
develop a duty/task library. ESAMS Administrators and supervisors are trained
on the importance of the duty/task process and how to assign duties/tasks to the
individual. ESAMS also provides an online JHA development process that helps
the Safety Professional in understanding training requirements for a specific job.
The Training Needs Assessment report helps the Safety Professional in
determining how many classes are needed during any given time frame to fulfill
requirements associated with the assigned duties/tasks.

ESAMS records understanding of training by individuals in several ways:
• TRMS New/Edit Class – Administrators can document individual test
scores for each class if tests are given. Documentation for each class (e.g.,
written tests, answer keys, skills exercises, etc.) can be attached. Notes
explaining individual comprehension can be recorded for each individual
class.
• OJT by Supervisor - Supervisors can document individual test scores for
each class if tests are given. Notes explaining individual comprehension
can be recorded for each individual class. Supervisors can record selfinspections which can identify problems with an individual’s
understanding of safety training.
• Web-Online Courses – The Test Out web-online courses record the scores
for individuals who have taken the course.
• IDATS – Safety Administrators can record problems found in an
individual’s understanding of training they have received during
workplace inspections. The Safety Inspector can run a pre-inspection
report to identify the training requirements and completed training of
individuals in a particular command and/or department. Using this
information, the Safety Inspector can then identify if individuals have a
lack of understanding of course material they have received or if they are
doing jobs for which they have yet to receive training.
