SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Safety
precautions
prescribe
the
minimum
requirements and regulations you should observe when
handling ammunition. These regulations may be
general
in
nature
or
step-by-step
procedures.
Regardless of the situation, safety precautions must
NEVER be ignored or bypassed, even during the
simplest ammunition-handling evolutions.
If you are involved in weapons assembly, always
review the applicable safety precautions before
beginning the evolution. A few of these general safety
precautions are as follows:
1.
Fuze or defuze (electric fuzes only) bombs in
handling rooms or spaces specifically designed
for such purposes.
2.
Normally,
mechanical
nose-fuzed,
high
explosive bombs are fuzed after the weapon is
loaded on the aircraft. When the aircraft is
carrier based, it must be spotted on the flight
deck. Exceptions to this rule are authorized
when loading bombs that require special
fuzing RADHAZ susceptible units, integral
fuzing, and all up rounds.
3.
Detonators, boosters, primers or other firing
devices aren't assembled in or removed from
bombs unless specifically prescribed for the
weapon.
4.
Fuzes aren't allowed to accumulate at the
fuzing stations. Never stockpile fuzes. They
must be withdrawn from stowage on an as
needed basis.
