SAFETY SUMMARY<br />
1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.<br />
This manual describes physical and/or chemical processes<br />
which may cause injury or death to personnel, or damage to<br />
equipment, if not properly followed. This safety summary<br />
includes general safety precautions and instructions that must<br />
be understood and applied during operation and maintenance<br />
to ensure personnel safety and protection of equipment. Prior<br />
to performing any specific task, the WARNINGs, CAU-<br />
TIONs, and NOTEs included in that task shall be reviewed<br />
and understood.<br />
2 WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES.<br />
WARNINGs and CAUTIONs are used in this manual to<br />
highlight operating or maintenance procedures, practices,<br />
conditions, or statements which are considered essential to<br />
protection of personnel (WARNING) or equipment (CAU-<br />
TION). WARNINGs and CAUTIONs immediately precede<br />
the step or procedure to which they apply. WARNINGs and<br />
CAUTIONs consist of four parts: heading (WARNING,<br />
CAUTION, or icon), a statement of the hazard, minimum<br />
precautions, and possible results if disregarded. NOTEs are<br />
used in this manual to highlight operating or maintenance<br />
procedures, practices, conditions, or statements which are not<br />
essential to protection of personnel or equipment. NOTEs<br />
may precede or follow the step or procedure, depending upon<br />
the information to be highlighted. The headings used and<br />
their definitions are as follows:<br />
Highlights an essential operating or maintenance<br />
procedure, practice, condition, statement, etc.,<br />
which if not strictly observed, could result in injury<br />
to, or death of, personnel or long term health<br />
hazards.<br />
Highlights an essential operating or maintenance<br />
procedure, practice, condition, statement, etc.,<br />
which if not strictly observed, could result in damage<br />
to, or destruction of, equipment or loss of mission<br />
effectiveness.<br />
3 REPORTING OF HAZARDS.<br />
Any potential hazard shall be reported to supervision. Examples<br />
of hazards that should be reported are:<br />
• Glowing or crackling fuel.<br />
• Visible areas or sparks from any source.<br />
• Electrical shocks to personnel.<br />
• <strong>Air</strong>craft with defective grounding/bonding receptacles.<br />
• Fluid leaks, mists, or sprays.<br />
4 RECOVERABLE PRODUCTS.<br />
Recoverable products resulting from ground handling and<br />
servicing of aircraft will be handled in accordance with federal,<br />
state, and local pollution control laws. Refer to AFI<br />
23-502, Recoverable and Unusable Liquid Petroleum Products,<br />
and <strong>TO</strong> 42B-1-23, Management of Recoverable and<br />
Waste Liquid Petroleum Products. Fuel or oil spills will be<br />
reported to the base fire department and the civil engineering<br />
pollution control response team as required by local directives.<br />
Implement spill control procedures in accordance with<br />
local directives.<br />
5 SYSTEM SAFETY ENGINEERING ANALYSIS<br />
(SSEA).<br />
An SSEA is a detailed engineering review of an operation. It<br />
includes failure modes and effects analysis, criticality assessments,<br />
and hazard analyses as outlined in MIL-STD-882D.<br />
These analyses consider the weapon system, the support<br />
equipment, and the personnel interfaces. An SSEA is used to<br />
establish the degree of risk involved in a new procedure.<br />
Any change to the approved hot refueling or concurrent servicing<br />
listed in this technical order, or the addition of new<br />
procedures, require HQ AFMC/SES approval. Refer to AFI<br />
91-202 or contact HQ AFMC/SES for an explanation of<br />
policies, responsibilities, authority, and administrative steps<br />
necessary to request an SSEA.<br />
