Preventing Accidents in the Ordnance Corps

Abstract

In recent years, we have made steady progress in reducing ordnance accidents. However, these accidents are still a serious drain on Army combat readiness. The record shows that improving safety in ordnance operations pays off not only in reduced fatalities, injuries, and accident costs but also in increased readiness. This pamphlet is targeted at the most frequent causes of ordnance accidents and provides cures specific to those accidents. Any future reductions in ordnance accidents will be directly related to the prevention emphasis you place on ordnance operations in your unit. The Army Safety Center is interested in user reaction to this pamphlet. Your comments on its usefulness and suggestions for improving its contents are welcome. Please use the pre-addressed mailer at the back of the pamphlet to let us hear from you.
