Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Health Hazard Assessment Community is developing a comprehensive strategy that builds upon past accomplishments and provides a framework for the Army to meet the growing health hazard challenges we face as we enter the next century. A formal strategy-- focusing on prevention, protection, performance, and sustainment--will provide a mechanism for identifying new opportunities and defining ways to meet this responsibility as part of our mission to maintain a trained and ready Army. This manual is part of the strategy and provides an orientation to the U.S. Army's HHAP for systems acquisition. It is intended for independent medical assessors, CBTDEVs, MATDEVs, and system MANPRINT practitioners and other independent assessors. This manual focuses on practical information in the context of the Army's materiel acquisition process (life cycle system management) and is a resource for individuals striving to eliminate or control health hazards in Army systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health hazard assessment is a critical aspect of a risk management acquisition program. Past programs developed without attention to human systems integration have suffered expensive delays created long-term health and safety problems and encountered difficulty and expenses during maintenance and demilitarization/disposal. The Army Health Hazard Assessment (HHA) Program uses risk assessment techniques to characterize health hazards associated with new materiel systems. This article provides the acquisition community with an overview of the risk assessment process used in preparing HHA reports and the key roles played by Army Medical Department organizations. This paper also shows how HHA Reports are integral components of a Program Managers overall risk management plan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking look at how technology with a human touch is revolutionizing government and industry Human Systems Integration (HSI) is very attractive as a new integrating discipline designed to help move business and engineering cultures toward a more people-technology orientation. Over the past decade, the United States and foreign governments have developed a wide range of tools, techniques, and technologies aimed at integrating human factors into engineering systems in order to achieve important cost and performance benefits that otherwise would not have been accomplished. In order for this new discipline to be effective, however, a cultural change is needed that must start with organizational leadership. Handbook of Human Systems Integration outlines the principles and methods that can be used to help integrate people, technology, and organizations with a common objective toward designing, developing, and operating systems effectively and efficiently. Handbook of Human Systems Integration is broad in scope, covering both public and commercial processes as they interface with systems engineering processes. Emphasizing the importance of management and organization concepts as well as the technical uniqueness of HSI, Handbook of Human Systems Integration features: * More than ninety contributors, technical advisors, and reviewers from government, industry, and academia * Comprehensive coverage of the most recent HSI developments, particularly in presenting the cutting-edge tools, techniques, and methodologies utilized by each of the HSI domains * Chapters representing the governments and industries of the United Kingdom and Canada * Contributions from three services of the Department of Defense along with the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Academy of Sciences * Many chapters covering both military and nonmilitary applications * Concepts widely used by government contractors both in the United States and abroad This book will be of special interest to HSI practitioners, systems engineers, and managers, as well as government and industry decision-makers who must weigh the recommendations of all multidisciplines contributing to systems performance, safety, and costs in order to make sound systems acquisition decisions.

Download or read book Review of the Army s Technical Guides on Assessing and Managing Chemical Hazards to Deployed Personnel written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-08-03 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To guide mission planning, military decision makers need information on the health risks of potential exposures to individual soldiers and their potential impact on mission operations. To help with the assessment of chemical hazards, the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine developed three technical guides for characterizing chemicals in terms of their risks to the mission and to the health of the force. The report reviews these guides for their scientific validity and conformance with current risk-assessment practices. The report finds that the military exposure guidelines are appropriate (with some modification) for providing force health protection, but that for assessing mission risk, a new set of exposure guidelines is needed that predict concentrations at which health effects would degrade the performance of enough soldiers to hinder mission accomplishment.

Download or read book Risk Assessment Handbook Volume I Human Health Evaluation written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook, Risk Assessment Handbook Volume I - Human Health Evaluation, provides technical guidance to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) risk assessors and risk assessment support personnel for planning, evaluating, and conducting Human Health Risk Assessments (HHRAs) in a phased hazardous, toxic, and radioactive waste (HTRW) response action. The handbook, a compendium to the Risk Assessment Handbook: Volume II - Environmental Evaluation (Engineer Manual (EM) 200-1-4), encourages the use of "good science" within the framework of existing U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) risk assessment guidelines. Reference and overview resources: * Required and Related References (Appendix A) * Abbreviations and Acronyms (Appendix B) Risk characterization is a similar process for both human health and Ecological Risk Assessments (ERAs). The fundamental paradigm for human health risk characterization has four phases: (1) hazard identification, (2) dose-response assessment, (3) exposure assessment, and (4) risk characterization. Similarly, the fundamental framework for ecological risk characterization includes four phases: (1) problem formulation, (2) ecological effects characterization, (3) exposure characterization, and (4) risk characterization. This handbook encourages the concurrent assessment of human and ecological risks so that data collection activities are coordinated and risk managers are provided risk characterization results in a timely manner. Risk characterization results for human and ecological receptors should be reasonable and communicated to the risk managers in a clear and unbiased manner to facilitate the making of balanced and informed risk management decisions.

Download or read book Strategies to Protect the Health of Deployed U S Forces written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-03-01 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deployment of forces in hostile or unfamiliar environments is inherently risky. The changing missions and increasing use of U.S. forces around the globe in operations other than battle call for greater attention to threats of non-battle-related health problemsâ€"including infections, pathogen- and vector-borne diseases, exposure to toxicants, and psychological and physical stressâ€"all of which must be avoided or treated differently from battle casualties. The likelihood of exposure to chemical and biological weapons adds to the array of tactical threats against which protection is required. The health consequences of physical and psychological stress, by themselves or through interaction with other threats, are also increasingly recognized. In addition, the military's responsibility in examining potential health and safety risks to its troops is increasing, and the spectrum of health concerns is broadening, from acute illness and injury due to pathogens and accidents to possible influences of low-level chemical exposures, which can manifest themselves in reproductive health and chronic illnesses years later, perhaps even after cessation of military service. Strategies to Protect the Health of Deployed U.S. Forces develops an analytical framework for assessing risks, which would encompass the risks of adversed health effects from battle injuries, including those from chemical- and biological-warfare agents, and non-battle-related health problems. The presumed spectrum of deployment ranged from peacekeeping to full-scale conflict.
Download or read book Emergency and Continuous Exposure Guidance Levels for Selected Submarine Contaminants written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-04-07 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. Navy personnel who work on submarines are in an enclosed and isolated environment for days or weeks at a time when at sea. Unlike a typical work environment, they are potentially exposed to air contaminants 24 hours a day. To protect workers from potential adverse health effects due to those conditions, the U.S. Navy has established exposure guidance levels for a number of contaminants. The Navy asked a subcommittee of the National Research Council (NRC) to review, and develop when necessary, exposure guidance levels for 10 contaminants. Overall, the subcommittee found the values proposed by the Navy to be suitable for protecting human health. For a few chemicals, the committee proposed levels that were lower than those proposed by the Navy. In conducting its evaluation, the subcommittee found that there is little exposure data available on the submarine environment and echoed a previous recommendation from an earlier NRC report to conduct monitoring that would provide a complete analysis of submarine air and data on exposure of personnel to contaminants.
