INTRODUCTION

1.1. Objective.

1.1.1. OSHA safety guidance published in the DoL 29 CFR series provides employees with a safe and healthy workplace. OSHA dictates what must be accomplished in the workplace, but in some cases, not necessarily how it will be accomplished, or by whom. Refer to AFSEC

Occupational Safety SharePoint® site for Introduction to OSHA Standards training information located at https://usaf.dps.mil/teams/AFSEC-

SEG/SEGS%20Public/Forms/AllItems.aspx?as=json&FolderCTID=0x012000D03CA30

SEG%2FSEGS%20Public%FOSHA.

1.1.2. Commanders are responsible for the safety of their facilities and personnel, including the correction of all identified hazards and deficiencies in their workplaces. This publication compliments DAFI 91-202 and assigns responsibilities to individuals or functions to help commanders manage their safety and health program, ensuring they comply with OSHA, Department of Defense (DoD), and DAF guidance. This publication provides uniform guidance, which safety staffs and commanders may supplement when additional or more stringent safety, fire prevention and health criteria are required.

1.1.3. MAJCOMs/FLDCOMs may have more stringent or restrictive requirements than those contained in this publication or other DAF Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) publications/standards. Therefore, all requests for interpretations or clarifications concerning these publications must be forwarded through the servicing MAJCOM/FLDCOM/DRU/FOA safety, health, and/or civil engineering organization, as applicable. Note: With respect to references in this manual to medical treatment facilities, pursuant to 10 United States Code

(USC) § 1073c, the Defense Health Agency, a combat support agency, will be responsible for their administration and management; the details of these responsibilities are still being worked and finalized. (T-0)

1.2. Roles and Responsibilities.

1.2.1. All HAF elements will ensure policies and procedures are consistent with the guidance of this manual.

1.2.2. Headquarters, Air Force Safety Center (AFSEC) will:

1.2.2.1. Formulate and disseminate policy. Clarify roles, responsibilities, and guidance applicable to all areas of safety.

1.2.2.2. Act as coordination authority for safety waivers associated with Tier1 and above wing/delta-level requirements in this manual.

1.2.3. MAJCOMs, FLDCOMs, DRUs and FOAs will provide program oversight and supplement safety and health guidance, as necessary, ensuring safety training is available to subordinate organizations.

1.2.4. Commanders and Functional Managers will:

16 DAFMAN91-203 24 FEBRUARY 2026

1.2.4.1. Ensure applicable occupational safety and health (OSH) guidance for workplace and operations is available to all personnel.

1.2.4.2. Enforce and promote compliance with occupational safety, fire prevention and health program requirements in their areas of responsibility.

1.2.4.3. Provide a safe and healthy workplace via a monthly spot-inspection program.

1.2.4.4. Provide employees with training in job safety, fire prevention and health, as required by:

1.2.4.4.1. OSHA directives.

1.2.4.4.2. DAFOSH directives.

1.2.4.4.3. DAFIs, DAFMANs, and associated publications.

1.2.5. Supervisor. Supervisors will require employees to notify them in advance if they have a medical condition or are taking medications that could interfere with their safe performance of assigned duties. Supervisors will ensure employees are trained, using manufacturer’s instructions or lesson plans, prior to the operation of any type of equipment or accomplishing assigned tasks. Supervisors will routinely evaluate employees on the proper and safe operation of all equipment and associated personal protective equipment (PPE). Unsafe behaviors will be corrected on the spot. Supervisors will provide such instruction at the time of initial assignment and all required refresher training. If guidance is not available, supervisors will accomplish a job hazard analysis (JHA) to determine safe procedures. Additional supervisor responsibilities can be found in DAFI 91-202.

1.2.5.1. Conduct pre-task safety briefings where the task(s) present higher mishap risks, e.g., use of aerial lifts or when conducting new tasks. Refer to DAFPAM 90-803, Risk

AFSEC/SEG is responsible for responding to and providing clarification to meet the operational needs of the DAF. LOIs provide this response and are intended to clarify the application of established standards, policy, or procedure, but they may not, in themselves, establish or revise DAF policy or procedure. The LOI specifically cites the source policy or procedure document being interpreted and includes the time duration of the LOI.

1.4. How to Use This Document.

1.4.1. This publication incorporates appropriate parts of the 29 CFR §§ 1910 and 1926 standards that relate to DAF operations. References to other DAF publications and national consensus standards are provided as appropriate. DAF activities must comply with OSHA requirements at all times. Use of the military-unique exemption will be applied IAW

Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 6055.01, DoD Safety and Occupational Health

(SOH) Program, and DAFI 91-202. (T-0)

1.4.2. This publication is intended for use by all DAF personnel. It provides OSH requirements that will provide equal or greater protection than applicable federal regulatory standards. The information in this publication is for the protection of employees, DAF property and equipment, and to ensure compliance with Federal law. Note: This publication may contain criteria not fully compatible with host-nation safety criteria. In case of conflict, safety offices will facilitate coordinated concerns through their chain of command for resolution. (T-1)

1.5. Applying Standards. DAF personnel must comply with all applicable safety guidance during DAF operations. (T-1) Where there is conflicting guidance, use the guidance that provides the most protection for the employee until conflict resolution is attained.

1.5.1. Compliance.

1.5.1.1. This standard contains both horizontal and vertical fire, safety, and health standards/requirements within the various chapters. Horizontal standards/requirements apply across all industries/activities, whereas, vertical standards/requirements apply to a specific industry/activity, e.g., construction or telecommunications. Vertical standards will be followed to protect employees from hazards identified in specific industries/operations over horizontal standards. (T-0) Where the vertical standard does not cover a hazard, then the horizontal standard will be applied to protect personnel. (T-0) Example: In 29 CFR

1910.252, Welding, Cutting, Brazing, there are specific confined space requirements

18 DAFMAN91-203 24 FEBRUARY 2026

(vertical standard) that must be addressed prior to using the requirements in 29 CFR

1910.146, Permit-Required Confined Spaces (horizontal standard). However, the welding standard does not cover certain requirements found in the Permit-Required Confined Space standard, such as the permit process, training of personnel, etc. that would require following the Permit-Required Confined Space standard, as applicable. Contact your occupational safety office if assistance is needed with vertical/horizontal standards.

1.5.1.2. When OSH guidance or other established safety criteria does not cover a situation, use non-DAF standards to include, but not limited to, national consensus standards, professional safety and health standards, and other Federal agency standards.

1.5.2. OSHA Requirements. DAF safety officials cannot grant exemptions to OSHA standards, only the DoL has the authority to grant exemptions to OSHA standards. Refer to

DAFI 91-202 for additional guidance.

1.5.3. National Consensus Standards. National consensus standards referenced in this document have been adopted, in whole or in part, for DAF use and list the standard, part/document number, part/document title, and date of standard, as applicable, e.g., American

Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) B30.9, Slings, and National Fire Protection

Association (NFPA) 70, National Electrical Code. Personnel needing access to American

National Standards Institute (ANSI) and/or other national consensus standards can contact the occupational safety office for guidance and assistance. Consensus standards are identified for awareness/information unless needed to complete a specific task.

1.5.4. Joint Base Safety Standard Compliance. DAF personnel at Joint Bases will follow safety requirements outlined in the approved support agreement(s) developed IAW DoDI

4000.19, Support Agreements, and AFI 25-201, Intra-Service, Intra-Agency, and Inter-Agency

Support Agreements Procedures. (T-1) When there is conflicting guidance, use the guidance that provides the most protection. Further conflicts in safety program requirements will first be coordinated through senior leadership at the local level for resolution. (T-1) If resolution at the local level cannot be obtained, the organization will refer conflicts to AFSEC/SEG through the appropriate MAJCOM/FLDCOM/FOA/DRU safety office for cross-service resolution.

(T-1)

1.6. Job Hazard Analysis (JHA). JHAs are conducted on all work processes, where appropriate, to identify potential fire, safety, or health hazards, determine appropriate training and PPE, and include preventative measures in procedures to mitigate the hazards. Refer to DAFI 91-202 for additional guidance.

1.7. Documentation. This publication specifies the use of Air Force Technical Order (AFTO)

Form 95, Significant Historical Data, AFTO Form 244, Industrial/Support Equipment Record, or other appropriate inspection, maintenance and general-purpose forms for documenting maintenance and inspection actions. With expanding the use of automated systems for tracking these activities, requiring specific paper forms may impede the use of more efficient automated processes. Therefore, the use of automated systems for documenting inspections, maintenance and other activities is acceptable in place of specified AFTO Forms 95 and 244 or other appropriate inspection, maintenance, and general-purpose forms if they contain the same information called for by the designated form. Electronic signatures or other unique personal identifiers (not initials) are acceptable. While this publication offers an optional alternative to paper forms, MAJCOMs, FLDCOMs, Numbered Air Forces (NAFs), local procedures, Technical Orders (TOs), and other

DAFMAN91-203 24 FEBRUARY 2026 19

DAF guidance may continue to require the use of these forms. Check the prescribing directive(s) before discontinuing use of any forms.

1.8. First Aid and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Training. Initial first aid/CPR training will be accomplished prior to assigning an individual duties where first aid/CPR are requirements of the position. (T-1) All employees requiring CPR training will receive refresher training before their current CPR certification expires. (T-1) Organizational/shop CPR instructors may be trained by the local medical group or trained directly by the American Red Cross, American Heart Association, or a Military Treatment Facility (MTF) approved source. CPR instructors will, in turn, train organizational personnel. (T-1) MTF Commanders determine the

MTFs ability to support CPR training and will notify the units when/if they can no longer provide training. (T-1) Where training is no longer provided by the host medical facility, contact the host

Public Access Defibrillator (PAD) Program Coordinator for assistance in locating training providers. The CPR instructor will ensure training includes PAD training IAW AFI 44-177, Public

Access Defibrillator Program. (T-1) Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) IAW DoDI 1322.24, Medical Readiness Training, may be used to fulfill first aid training requirements; however, it does not cover CPR. Employees performing duties with risk of severe cuts, burns or electrocution, or perform duties in remote locations away from emergency responders will have a plan for immediate medical response pending definitive transfer and care. (T-0) (Note: Remote location is defined as emergency care that is more than three to four minutes from the workplace.) Refer to

DHA 6000.03, Life Support Training Certification Requirements and Guidance, for additional requirements.

1.9. Bloodborne Pathogen Training. Any person with routine duties where tasks and procedures involve reasonably anticipated exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials (e.g., individual responsible for rendering medical assistance as part of their duties) must be trained and enrolled in the Bloodborne Pathogen Program IAW 29 CFR § 1910.1030, Bloodborne Pathogen, and AFI 44-108, Infection Prevention and Control Program. (T-0) A person may be required to receive separate first responder training outside of bloodborne pathogen, e.g., First Aid, CPR, TCCC. For workplaces with employees that meet this job description, supervisors will establish a written exposure control plan and conduct training IAW 29 CFR §

1910.1030. (T-0)
