SAFETY DEPARTMENT One of the smallest departments on board, the Safety Department is tasked with the daunting duty of the operation and management of the ship’s Occupational Safety Programs. The department consists of a permanent Safety Officer, Industrial Hygienist and seven enlisted team members representing various significant ratings onboard. Our mission is to help ensure the safety of shipmates by monitoring flight operations, underway replenishment, ordnance, damage control and propulsion evolutions as well as workcenter surveillance and deck plate safety throughout the ship. Safety awareness is an unremitting job; our petty officers act as instructors to teach newly reporting crewmembers and reenlighten the old salts. Safety Department's first slogan is a humble but fitting one: “Safety First”. This perspective is something we commit to in everything we do. Commander Daniel C. Schluckebier 209
