Stopping Accidents in Maintenance Operations
Abstract
Accidents during maintenance activities are an indication of operational weaknesses that, in combat, would quickly deplete our maintenance capability and affect readiness. Maintenance, which keeps the troops on the move, is filled with risks. Eliminating or reducing those risks is a key part of carrying out the maintenance mission. The key to reducing risks to acceptable levels is training to standard and enforcing standards. This pamphlet should help you evaluate and upgrade your safety efforts. It focuses on the leading causes of accidents in maintenance operations and provides general countermeasures for those accidents. It provides information on available safety resources and outlines risk management techniques that leaders can use to balance risks with operational requirements. Questions concerning this pamphlet may be directed to CW4 Smith or SFC Hall, U.S. Army Safety Center, DSN 558-6595/3075, or Mr. Majewski, U.S. Army Ordnance Center and School, DSN 298-3418/3654.
