AFI91-202 5 AUGUST 2011 101 Chapter 12 HAZARD ABATEMENT 12.1. Purpose. To provide senior leaders, functional managers and supervisors with a riskbased process or equivalent that mitigates hazardous conditions in all workplaces and operations. The purpose of the hazard abatement program is to eliminate, control or limit exposure of personnel to hazardous conditions. 12.2. Responsibilities. 12.2.1. Each installation establishes a program to abate hazards based on a priority system. 12.2.2. Commanders, supervisors and employees at all levels are responsible for abating hazardous conditions 12.2.3. Commanders protect national resources, both human and material, and have the responsibility to take action in implementing safety measures. 12.2.4. Functional managers correct hazards in their areas of responsibility. 12.2.5. The safety office helps commanders determine needed abatement actions and provide the commander with follow-up support until the hazard is eliminated. 12.2.6. Send projects beyond the capability of local commanders to the parent MAJCOM. 12.3. Planning and Engineering. Use risk management processes during the planning, design and execution phases to eliminate hazards as early as possible when they will have the least cost and operational impact on the program. Continually review plans, specifications and drawings to identify and eliminate hazards until the equipment or workplace is operating. 12.4. Procedural Actions. Develop procedures or restrictions to minimize risk if planning or engineering actions cannot be used to eliminate hazards. If necessary, impose restrictions such as operational limits, frequent inspections, protective equipment or stopping the operation until corrective action is taken. 12.5. Hazard Elimination Hierarchy. The types of hazards employees are exposed to, the severity of the hazards and the risk the hazards pose to employees should all be considered in determining methods of hazard prevention, elimination and control. 12.5.1. In general, the following hierarchy should be followed in determining hazard elimination and control methods: 12.5.1.1. Engineering. Engineering controls are the preferred method of reducing exposure to hazards, but are not always feasible. Following are examples of engineering controls that can be implemented. 12.5.1.1.1. Substitution of a less hazardous material. 12.5.1.1.2. Change process to minimize exposure to a hazard. 12.5.1.1.3. Isolation or enclosure of a process. 12.5.1.1.4. Ventilation of a work area. 12.5.1.1.5. Use of local exhaust i.e. fume hoods.
