require added monitoring. The Installation Safety Office will conduct random “spot” or high
interest area inspections as designated by the Chief of Safety.
15.8. The responsible explosives safety officer, manager, and unit safety representative will
conduct spot inspections during actual A&E operations to verify compliance on an ongoing
basis and to assist commanders identify transitory hazards. These spot evaluations will be
completed in accordance with AR 385–10, DA PAM 385–1, DA PAM 385-10, and AFI 91-
202.
JBELMENDORF-RICHARDSONI91-200 27 APRIL 2016 11
15.9. In an effort to reduce re-sealing inventory time incurred by munitions accountability
processes, the annual safety inspection and spot check of sealed A&E facilities will be
conducted during scheduled inventory and maintenance cycles to the greatest extent possible.
The unit safety representative will de-conflict operations by providing a quarterly
maintenance and accountability inventory schedule to the supporting safety office to avoid
the unscheduled sealing inventory.
15.10. Static electricity charge dissipation subsystems will be visually inspected and tested
in accordance with AFI 32-1065, NFPA 780, and DA PAM 385-64.
15.11. Ordnance, equipment and instrument grounds will comply with DA PAM 385-64,

15.12. Explosives facilities will be provided with a ground system to provide personnel,
equipment, and facility protection. Personnel safety is provided by low impedance
grounding and bonding for personnel, equipment, metallic objects, and piping so as to
prevent voltages sufficient to cause a shock hazard or initiate explosives within the facility.
15.13. Visual inspection and testing of all electrical protection systems must be completed
by qualified personnel who are thoroughly familiar with the system they are evaluating.
Examples of user inspections would be worktable bonding or equipment to ground continuity
checks. Qualification training is required for individuals conducting lightning protection
inspections, electrical systems validations, facility grounding/bonding checks to include
documentation. Qualified personnel must be familiar with records keeping, electrical codes
and test criteria frequency listed in AFI 32-1065, NFPA 780, and DA PAM 385-64.
15.14. The organization with the A&E mission is responsible for ensuring all required visual
and electrical testing is current. Units will either conduct the inspection and testing
themselves or initiate a work order with 773 CES to complete the testing and inspection.
16. Explosives Safety Issuances. Periodically clarifications and amendments to policy are
disseminated by various A&E proponent agencies. These can take the form of interim guidance
in memo format from the proponent, rapid action revisions that do not change the promulgation
date, and other sources such as the United States Army Technical Center for Explosive Safety
(USATCES) Explosives Safety Bulletin, Air Force Safety Center Weapon Safety Division
(AFSEC/SEW) messages or Air Force Safety Automated System (AFSAS) notifications.
16.1. Explosive safety issuances consist of, but may not be limited to, local policies or
procedures, Army Regulations (AR), pamphlets, and other publications.
16.2. When a conflict exists between any explosives safety issuance associated with the
applicable AFMANs, AFIs, ARs or DA PAMs, the safety issuance will be followed.
16.3. US Army organizations and units within the USARAK AOR will have SOPs, which
include A&E safety management.
16.4. All Installation A&E policies will comply with DoD and applicable service
requirements and will be reviewed by Installation explosives safety personnel prior to
approval.
16.5. Compensatory measures are used in the risk assessment process and are a
commander’s directive to minimize risks associated with A&E operations. This commander
directed controls are often needed to meet required safety standards in order to eliminate
12 JBELMENDORF-RICHARDSONI91-200 27 APRIL 2016
