- AR 385-10Publication
The Army Safety and Occupational Health Program
AR 385-10 establishes the Army safety and occupational health program and assigns the responsibilities that go with it. It requires risk management to be applied to operations and everyday tasks and sets the framework for accident reporting and investigation. Commanders own safety; the safety officer advises.
- Board question
What are the four weapons safety rules?
Treat every weapon as if it is loaded. Never point the weapon at anything you do not intend to engage or destroy. Keep the selector on safe until you intend to fire. Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you intend to fire.
- Board question
What are the four weapons safety statuses?
Green, amber, red, and black. Green is magazine removed, chamber empty, selector on safe. Amber is magazine inserted, chamber empty, bolt forward, selector on safe. Red is magazine inserted, round in the chamber, bolt forward, selector on safe. Black is magazine inserted, round in the chamber, bolt forward, selector on fire.
- Board question
What is the difference between weapons safety status red and black?
Both have a magazine inserted, a round in the chamber, and the bolt forward. The difference is the selector: red is on safe, black is on fire. Black is the only status in which the weapon will fire if the trigger is pulled.
