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