Severity Severity is a qualitative or quantitative assessment of the degree of injury, occupational illness, property, facility or environmental damage associated with the maximum credible loss. Severity is dependent only on the Maximum Credible Loss. Once established for a Maximum Credible Loss, it does not change only the probability of a Maximum Credible Loss can be reduced.
Significant risk A risk associated with a particular hazard where the hazard likelihood of occurrence and its potential impact on the mission, person, equipment or facility is such that it can be reasonability expected to cause bodily harm, damage to equipment or the facility or delay in the execution of the mission unless corrected. Normally, they are assigned a RAC of 1, 2, or 3. Single-hazard risk Risk associated with a single hazard of the system. Single hazard risks are characterized by consequence/probability pairs (these risks are typically classified by RAC matrix cells). Single hearing protector (or protection) Wearing either earplugs or noise muffs or noise attenuating helmets.
Sling out area The loading of A&E into cargo nets for transportation beneath a helicopter for resupply of units not accessible by ground transportation or when time or security is a critical factor. Soldiering Noncombat activities peculiar to military life, includes receiving instruction/training in such activities, excludes classroom training. Examples: Marching, police call, formation, barracks detail, field sanitation. Special hazards areas Areas identified containing hazards which due to their nature could not be eliminated through design selection and therefore depend upon training, procedures and PPE for control of the hazards to tolerable levels.
Examples are paint booths, kitchens, machine shops, areas around conveyor belts, hazardous chemical storage areas, and so forth. Special use airspace Airspace of defined dimension identified by an area on the surface of the earth wherein activities must be confined because of their nature and or wherein limitations that may be imposed upon aircraft operations that are not a part of those activities. Sports Includes activities associated with sports, regardless of whether the participation is on-duty or off-duty, Army super- vised or unsupervised, excludes hobbies. Examples:
racquetball/paddleball, handball, softball, tennis, soccer, baseball, basketball, football, volleyball, skiing, swimming, scuba diving, golf, boating, hunting, fishing, martial arts, canoeing. Standards failure Standards/procedures not clear or practical, or do not exist. Supervisory Activities associated with the management of personnel. Examples: Inspection tasks, directing workloads/work crews, monitoring work, crews, planning unit activities. Surveillance The observation, inspection, investigation, test, study, and classification of ammunition, ammunition components, and explosives in movement, storage, and use with respect to degree of serviceability and rate of deterioration.
