J.T. Spectra Proshield Mask Alert |
A change in equipment leads to potential safety concern. A new piece of protective force equipment underwent and passed a hazard evaluation for daily operational use, but was not analyzed for tactical exercise use. During separate training evolutions the use of the new equipment resulted in minor injuries to two individuals. Assessments should include primary duty applications and should also consider possible hazard impacts within the training environment. |

Double Check of Repository |
After a repository is opened to retrieve a document and the repository is secured, it is a good practice to have a second person double check insuring the repository is properly secured. This action, in conjunction with the standard end-of-day checks, will mitigate the potential of a security occurrence. |

Stress and Change in Routine Lead to Incident |
Be aware that stress of any kind can have a major impact on human error. It is not always possible to separate our work and personal lives, so if you are dealing with classified matter, it is all the more important that you take stock of your mental state and that of your coworkers at the beginning, throughout, and the end of the work day. |

Avoiding Future Cell Phone Incidents |
Cell phones are controlled articles and are therefore not allowed within a security area because of their potential to unintentionally transmit classified matter. Because cell phones are small and light, it is easy to slip one into a pocket or bag and forget that it is there. An unnoticed cell phone can easily result in a security incident. This Lesson Learned illustrates how one worker devised a unique and easy way to help her avoid another cell phone incident. |

Foreign National Badging |
Citizenship verification for uncleared employees plays an important role in ensuring that access authorization is properly assigned to appropriate personnel. Sites should ensure a process is in place to verify the citizenship of all uncleared badge holders to prevent future incidents of improper badging and to validate previously badged employees. |
