Risk Management (RM)

LL06

Location:

Flight Chief:

The Air Force RM is designed to sustain resources by providing policy/guidance and management tools to mitigate risk, strengthen job performance, improve decision making in all functional areas and levels throughout the Air Force, and is the Commander’s/Director’s responsibility. RM is designed to expand the Air Force’s war fighting posture through the implementation of the following principles:

Accept no unnecessary risk. The most logical choices for accomplishing a mission are those that meet all mission requirements while exposing personnel and resources to the lowest acceptable risk.

Make risk decisions at the appropriate level. The appropriate level for risk decisions is the one that can allocate the resources to reduce the risk or eliminate the hazard and implement controls.

Integrate RM into operations, activities, and planning at all levels. To effectively apply risk management, commanders, leaders, and personnel must dedicate time and resources to integrate RM principles into planning, operational processes, and day-to-day activities.

Apply the process cyclically and continuously. RM is a continuous process applied across the full spectrum of military training and operations, base operations functions, and day-to-day activities/ events both on and off duty.

The Air Force RM process consists of the following five primary steps:

1. Identify the Hazards

2. Assess the Hazards

3. Develop Controls and Make Decisions

4. Implement Controls

5. Supervise and Evaluate

2 (Placeholder) Units can attach

(d) CRU-94/P Integrated Terminal

Block

1 The ITB serves as the central interface for breathing, gas hoses, vest hose, and emergency oxygen hose. It also has a pressure relief valve which provides system over-pressure protection for the aircrew member when the vest is not being worn or has been inadvertently disconnected. This will prevent the operator from receiving excessive

PBG when not wearing the vest, even if the regulator selector switch is inadvertently left in the PBG position.

2 The ITB vest port can be plugged with part No. G006-1013-02 when the vest port is not required. The

ITB provides a man/aircraft interface separation point during ground egress or ejection and is categorized as manside equipment, although it is stowed in the aircraft.

6BB-14

3 Dovetail fitting is used for attachment of the ITB to the torso harness. The ITB also contains a split ring quick disconnect with a disconnect warning device which warns that the crewmember is disconnected from the oxygen source.

Early versions of the ITB were made with side-mounted screws holding the relief valve in place; later versions have front-mounted screws. Both versions of the ITB are functionally identical.

(e) Preflight (Accomplished by user):

1(Placeholder) Units can attach

(f) CRU-120/P Regulated Connector

1 The RC serves as the central interface for breathing, gas hoses, vest hose, and emergency oxygen hose. It also has a pressure relief valve which provides system over-pressure protection for the aircrew member when the vest is not being worn or has been inadvertently disconnected.

This will prevent the operator from receiving excessive

PBG when not wearing the vest, even if the regulator selector switch is inadvertently left in the PBG position.

2 The RC provides ground egress or ejection and is categorized as manside equipment, although it is stowed in the aircraft. A dovetail fitting is used for attachment of the

RC to the torso harness.

3 The RC also contains a split ring quick disconnect with a disconnect warning device which warns that the crewmember is disconnected from the oxygen source.

4 The regulated portion of the RC reduces the emergency oxygen pressure and provides positive pressure breathing.

The RC vest port will be plugged with part No. G006-

1013-02 when the vest is not worn.

6BB-15

(g) Preflight (Accomplished by user):

(h) CRU-122/P personal connector

1 Incorporates the features of the

CRU-94/P Integrated Terminal

Block with the CRU-79 Oxygen

Regulator into a single housing.

Allowing the combat edge ensemble to interface with a regulated emergency system, it provides an important role in oxygen backup.

2 Supplying oxygen at a slight positive pressure prevents inward leakage and significantly improves pilot breathing comfort during emergency conditions. This personal connector extends the emergency oxygen duration while automatically increasing positive pressure

(i) Preflight (Accomplished by user):

(4) PBE (Personal Breathing Equipment) PBE is for normal aircrew flight duty use only and not designed for passengers. Extensive use will result in a quicker depletion of oxygen supply.

1 Provides respiratory and eye protection to user in oxygen-deficient, smoke laden, or other toxic atmospheres for

6BB-16

approximately 15 minutes

2 Vacuum sealed in plastic pouch inside a hard case

1 Check storage case window

8 Once PBE is actuated it cannot be turned off; unit is for one time use

6BB-17

only

9 Adjust/fit pack Check neck seal for secure fit

(5) Emergency Passenger Oxygen System

(EPOS) device.

EPOS is for passengers only and not designed for normal aircrew flight duty use. Extensive use will result in a quicker depletion of oxygen supply.

1 Vacuum-sealed self-contained protective breathing device typically used by passengers in an emergency situation

2 Consist of six major components a Hood b Oxygen cylinder c Carbon Dioxide controller d Neck seal e Barrier pouch f Stowage pouch

1 Remove barrier pouch from stowage pouch

(c) Activation:

6BB-18

1 Open storage pouch

2 Tear open barrier bag by grasping the EPOS assembly in one hand and tear the bag open by pulling the red tape strip

3 Remove EPOS from both the barrier bag and stowage pouch

4 Grasp oxygen cylinder by the main body of the cylinder in one hand and pull the tethered red activation ball/knob with the opposite hand

When grasping the cylinder bottle, ENSURE you DO

NOT wrap your hand around the neck of the cylinder.

5 Sharply snap the cylinder away from tethered ball/knob a The ball/knob, pull cord and lever will pull free from the oxygen cylinder, indicating oxygen is flowing

Failure to activate the flow of oxygen will reduce oxygen levels within the hood resulting in suffocation and/or death b The EPOS will not function without the removal of the metal tab c If the RED knob separates, GRASP the lanyard to pull the metal tab off the cylinder

(d) Donning:

1 Place both hands inside the neck dam seal opening with palms facing each other

Ensure hair, jewelry; shirt collars, etc. are not caught between the neck seal and your neck. If missed it may reduce the effectiveness of the EPOS, increasing the likelihood of injury and/or death.

2 Stretch the neck seal open by spreading hands apart enough to allow the head to enter

3 Smooth out the neck dam and When donning find bottle and place at the back of the

6BB-19

remove any foreign object from the seal head to prevent injury from bottle.

4 Sit down and resume normal breathing

5 Infants can be protected by bringing the neck seal down over the infant's waist

6 After activation, the sound of oxygen will be heard flowing into the hood for approximately 5 minutes, fully inflating the hood

7 The length of time the EPOS will provide oxygen is dependent upon user's activity (sitting or moving around)

8 When depleted, the EPOS will collapse around the wearer's head and face and should be removed immediately once it touches the wearers face.

Suffocation will occur if unit is not removed and replaced.

(6) Emergency Bailout Oxygen Cylinder

Assemblies:

1 Pre-positioned on some ejection seats or installed in personal parachutes

2 Provides approximately 10 minutes of oxygen

1 Check condition of bottle and hose

2 Ensure bottle is fully charged

(needle in black on gauge, Note: Reduction in temperature causes reduction in cylinder pressure at the rate of approximately 3.5 psi for

6BB-20

minimum 1800 psi) each degree Fahrenheit. This should be considered when checking cylinder pressure under reduced temperature conditions.
