What is ESAMS?

The Naval Postgraduate School uses the web-based module, ESAMS (Enterprise Safety Applications Management System), to track inspections of NPS spaces, mishaps, and safety related trainings.

What does ESAMS mean to NPS staff, faculty, and students?

All NPS employees and certain students that work in labs which require additional safety training are required to be enrolled into the ESAMS database. There are required safety related trainings for all NPS personnel.  Many of the trainings may be done online through ESAMS. Supervisors can use ESAMS to track training completion of employees as well as assign new training to employees.

 

A detailed description of ESAMS follows:

If you are dissatisfied with the assessment of the alleged hazard made by the Regional Complex OSH office or with actions taken to abate a confirmed hazard, you are encouraged to confer with the Regional Complex OSH office to discuss the matter further. If after the discussion, you are still dissatisfied, an appeal may be made to the cognizant Commanding Officer, Officer in Charge, or ACOS.

The appeal must be in writing and contain at least the following information:

• A description of the alleged hazard including its location and standards violated if known (a copy of the original hazard report will suffice);
• How, when, and to whom the original report of the alleged hazard was submitted; and
• What actions (if known) were taken as a result of the original report.
• A statement explaining why the actions taken as a result of the original report were unsatisfactory and are being appealed.

The CO, OIC, ACOS, or his/her representative, will respond within 10 working days. An interim response be forwarded if the Commander’s investigation is incomplete at this time.

If still dissatisfied or if you have not received a response within 20 working days, you may appeal to the next higher level of command. The sequence of appeals thereafter shall be to:

A. Commander Navy Region Southwest 937 North Harbor Drive San Diego, CA 92132-0058
