Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com accidents can be attributed to a system inadequacy/root cause in training, standard, leader, individual, or support failure indicated below: Human factors Human interactions (man, machine, and/or environment) in a sequence of events that were influenced by, or the lack of human activity, which resulted or could result in an Army accident.
Human factors engineering A comprehensive technical effort to integrate into Army doctrine, materiel development, and materiel acquisition (to ensure operational effectiveness) all relevant information on— human characteristics (skill capabilities); performance (anthropometric data); biomedical factors (safety factors); training (manning implications). Imminent danger Conditions or practices in any workplace that pose a danger that reasonably could be expected to cause death or severe physical hardship before the imminence of such danger could be eliminated through normal procedures.
Impact area The ground and associated airspace within the training complex used to contain fired or launched A&E and the resulting fragments, debris, and components from various weapon systems. A weapon system impact area is the area within the surface danger zone used to contain fired or launched A&E and the resulting fragments, debris, and components. Indirect fire weapon system impact areas include probable error for range and deflection. Direct fire weapon system impact areas encompass the total surface danger zone from the firing point or positions down range to distance X— a. Temporary impact area .
An impact area within the training complex used for a limited period of time to contain fired or launched A&E and the resulting fragments, debris, and components. Temporary impact areas are normally used for non-dud-producing ammunition or explosives and should be able to be cleared and returned to other training support activities following termination of firing. b. Dedicated impact area . An impact area that is permanently designated within the training complex and used indefinitely to contain fired or launched A&E and the resulting fragments, debris, and components. Dedicated impact areas are normally used for less sensitive A&E than that employed in high hazard impact areas.
However, any impact area containing fused HE or white phosphorous duds represent a high risk to personnel and access must be limited and strictly controlled. c. High hazard impact area . An impact area that is permanently designated within the training complex and used to contain sensitive HE A&E and the resulting fragments, debris, and components. High-hazard impact areas are normally established as part of dedicated impact areas where access is limited and strictly controlled because of the extreme hazard of dud ordnance such as ICM, HEAT, 40mm, and other highly sensitive A&E.
Improved conventional munitions Munitions characterized by the delivery of two or more antipersonnel, anti-materiel, and or anti-armor submunitions. Incapacitating agents Agents that produce physiological or mental effects, or both, that may persist for hours or days after exposure, rendering individuals incapable of concerted effort in the performance of their assigned duties. Complete recovery of incapacitating agent casualties is expected without medical treatment. Independent evaluation The process used by the independent evaluators to independently determine if the system satisfies the approved requirements.
It will render an assessment of data from all sources, simulation and modeling, and an engineering or operational analysis to evaluate the adequacy and capability of the system. Independent safety assessment That document prepared by the USACR/SC and forwarded to the AAE assessing the risk of the residual hazards in a system prior to the MDRs. Individual risk Risk to a single exposed person (RALCT).
