QA’s responsibilities to the maintenance department safety program are as follows: Disseminate safety posters and literature. Report all hazards, mishaps, and unsafe practices in the department. Conduct safety meetings within the department, at least monthly. Coordinate aspects of safety with the aviation safety officer. Participate in the activity’s safety surveys and stand downs. When a report is required by OPNAVINST 3750.6, the QA division collects and provides maintenance and material data necessary for preparation of required reports. Q29.

Upon completion of an audit, the findings are forwarded to the AMO, with a copy going where? Q32. How long are past audits maintained by Q/A? Q33. In addition to reporting naval aviation hazards in accordance with OPNAVINST 3750.6, you still must follow reporting procedures called for in what manual? Q34. With regard to maintenance department safety, what does the Q/A division have a responsibility to do at least monthly? The Naval Aviation Maintenance Discrepancy Reporting Program (NAMDRP) NAMDRP is the method for reporting hazardous deficiencies in material, publications, substandard workmanship, and improper QA procedures. The QA division manages the program and assists the various work centers in determining if one or more of these reports are needed for a maintenance problem or occurrence within the activity. They are also responsible to review all HMRs, EI requests, QDRs, and TPDRs to ensure they are accurate, clear, concise, and comprehensive.  The work center supervisor provides assistance to the QA representative with information needed to complete the message request. The QA division also initiates and maintains a report log and assigns a report control number (RCN) to each NAMDRP report. RCNs are assigned sequentially throughout the calendar year, regardless of the type of report. The RCN is composed of 12 elements as follows: Element (1) is the Service Designator code of the originating activity. Refer to the OPNAVINST 4790.2 for Service Designator codes. Elements (2) through (6) are the Unit Identification Code (UIC) of the originating activity, followed by a dash (-). Elements (7) and (8) are a two-character identification of the calendar year, followed by a dash (-). Elements (9) through (12) are the locally assigned "control numbers." These numbers are sequential, beginning with 0001 each calendar year. The various reports required under the NAMDRP are as follows: Hazardous Material Report (HMR) Engineering Investigation (EI) request Quality Deficiency Report (QDR) Technical Publication Deficiency Report (TPDR) Aircraft Discrepancy Report (ADR) The aviation safety officer, with assistance from QA, reviews all correspondence concerning aircraft, ground, flight, flight-related, and explosive mishaps. All hands have a responsibility to be alert for safety-related defects or discrepancies, which is the primary reason for submitting each report. If a report meets the criteria for an HMR and warrants an EI Request, a Category (CAT) I QDR, or TPDR, is sent as a dual message report. Exceptions to the NAMDRP and its reporting procedures are as follows: 6-16
