Health Hazard Assessment Primer

Abstract

This primer provides an introductory orientation to the Health Hazard Assessment (HHA) program supporting the U.S. Army's materiel acquisition efforts. The description of types and effects of health hazards includes an inventory of those hazards commonly encountered in Army systems. Substantial text outlines the organizations and processes comprising the HHA system, along with an explanation of how the system is designed to work. A conceptual framework characterizes the steps involved in preparing a HHA report. A final section describes the program contributions made by HHA-related research and the organizations performing pertinent research. Supplemental materials include a summary of the Army's life cycle system management model, a listing of HHA points of contact, and a brief description of risk assessment codes. Keywords: MANPRINT.
