It is a continual process and starts with deliberate planning. Always be alert to ways to protect our environment during training and missions. In doing so, you will contribute to the sustainment of our training resources while protecting people and the environment from harmful effects. Refer to FM 3-34.5 Environmental Considerations and GTA 05-08-002 ENVIRONMENTAL-RELATED RISK ASSESSMENT. "Environmental protection is not just the law but the right thing to do. It is a continual process and starts with deliberate planning. Always be alert to ways to protect our environment during training and missions. In doing so you will contribute to the sustainment of our training resources while protecting people and the environment from harmful effects." Safety: In a training environment, leaders must perform a risk assessment in accordance with ATP 5-19, Risk Management. Leaders will complete the current Deliberate Risk Assessment Worksheet in accordance with the TRADOC Safety Officer during the planning and completion of each task and sub-task by assessing mission, enemy, terrain and weather, troops and support available-time available and civil considerations, (METT-TC). Note: During MOPP training, leaders must ensure personnel are monitored for potential heat injury. Local policies and procedures must be followed during times of increased heat category in order to avoid heat related injury. Consider the MOPP work/rest cycles and water replacement guidelines IAW FM 3-11.4, Multiservice Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC) Protection, FM 3-11.5, Multiservice Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Decontamination. Everyone is responsible for safety. A thorough risk assessment must be completed prior to every mission or operation. Strict adherence to sanitary measures while processing remains and personal effects. Rubber gloves will be used when Page 4
handling remains. All personnel handling remains and personal effects will wash their hands with soap and water. Litters and other equipment will be thoroughly scrubbed. These precautions are required to prevent the spread of disease and contamination. When handling remains personal hygiene and safety must be maintained as they pertain to the practices of personal environmental disinfection and decontamination by practitioners of mortuary services. The wearing of protective clothing, as required by the Armed Force Public Health Guidelines, such as surgical gowns, gloves, masks (cotton and/or OSHA type oral nasal, goggles and/or glasses) will be minimize transmission of infectious agents associated with the medical and paramedical environments. Mortuary affairs personnel should also receive an annual physical examination and adhere to an effective program of routine prophylactic immunizations.
