Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com clearance if entry into closed areas is required. A closing conference with the garrison or activity commander or command designee will be arranged before the Federal and State OSH officials departure. Employee representatives will be invited to attend the opening and closing conferences. e. Upon request, Federal and state OSH officials will be provided available safety and health information on work sites to be visited. Such information may include data on HAZMAT in use; copies of recent DOD inspection; or survey reports, accident reports, and abatement project information. f.
When Federal and State OSH officials issue notice of unsafe or unhealthful conditions (OSHA–2H Form), local officials should treat such notices in the same manner as similar internal notices and provide for abatement of significant deficiencies. Garrisons that receive an OSHA–2H will immediately transmit copies through command channels to Office of the Director of Army Safety (DACS–SF), 200 Army Pentagon, Washington, DC 20310–0200, and copy furnished to Commander, U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center (CSSC–PR), Bldg 4905, 5th Ave, Fort Rucker, AL 36362–5363. g. Response to OSH inspection reports will originate at the local level.
The OSHA officials will elevate unresolved conflicts through their channels to DOD. This provision, however, will not inhibit normal internal communication within command channels to apprise higher echelons of the results of OSH inspections and coordination of responses. With respect to investigating Army accidents, which is solely a DOD responsibility under EO 12196, Federal and State OSH officials may be shown or provided factual portions of pertinent accident investigation reports as outlined in DA Pam 385–40. Federal and state OSH officials, upon request, may also be authorized to accompany Army accident investigators in an observer status.
Separate, duplicate OSH investigations of Army accidents, concurrent either with or subsequent to required Army investigations, are not expected. However, Federal and State OSH officials may inspect for residual hazardous conditions at the site of an Army accident. Chapter 18 Industrial Operational Safety 18–1. Introduction An effective safety program will improve industrial operational readiness and reduce costs. Industrial operations comprise activities that contribute to the development, testing, procurement, deployment and logistical support of Army equipment and weapon systems. The principles of this chapter will apply to civil works. 18–2.
Policy Whenever possible, engineering controls will be used to eliminate hazards, and administrative controls will only be used whenever engineering controls are not feasible. 18–3. Acquisition of materials, equipment, facilities, and systems a. Acquisition of materials, equipment, facilities, and systems will comply with the requirements of chapter 9 of this regulation. b. The acquisition of materials, equipment, facilities, and systems will maximize the use of engineering design to preclude unnecessary residual risk and control residual risks when design changes to remove risks are not feasible. 18–4.
Preoperational planning Preoperational planning will be developed and promulgated as part of the planning for operations. The preoperational plan will identify hazards that may impact personnel safety and operations and the measures used to eliminate or control them. a. The mishap risk management component of CRM will be used to identify and mitigate hazards and manage the associated risk with that activity. This requires that risk assessment, risk decisionmaking, and implementation of effective risk controls be part of the preoperational safety plan. Operational plans will incorporate preoperation safety briefings and training requirements as part of the plan. b.
Operational briefings and training will address identified hazards and their impact on operations. 18–5. Standing operating procedures a. Standing operating procedures will— (1) Be developed for all hazardous operations in accordance with the requirements of DA Pam 385–10 and provide supervisors and operators with the level of detail necessary to execute the task or operation in an efficient, effective, and safe manner.
Written standards (for example, work plans, internal operating plans, operating manuals, work instructions, FMs, and so forth) may be substituted for SOPs when they provide the level of detail necessary to execute the task or operation in an efficient, effective, and safe manner. (2) Describe all necessary operational and safety and health requirements. 72 AR 385–10 • 23 August 2007
