AFSCI21-102 addresses ESOH hazards, prevention through design, engineering controls, workplace roles, feasibility studies, and engineering control project data calls. It requires the hierarchy of controls to be applied in a specified order and requires annual project data collection and reporting.
Applies to: It applies to the Air Force Sustainment Center.
Per DoDI 6055.01, DoD Safety and Occupational Health (SOH) Program, the order in which to apply hierarchy of controls is: elimination, substitution, engineering and/or administrative controls, and the appropriate use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when other options fail to mitigate the hazard. (paragraph 1)
Understands hierarchy of controls and ensures that hazard controls are implemented and functioning correctly. (paragraph 2)
Upon request, recommends and assists production engineer and workplace supervisor on ways to reduce ESOH hazards through implementation of PtD/HoC. (paragraph 2)
When addressing occupational and environmental hazards, the Production Engineer shall address the engineering controls step in the hierarchy of controls and make elimination/substitution recommendations to the appropriate System Program Office (SPO) Engineering or SCM engineering authority on a commodity item, as delegated by the SPO. (paragraph 2)
A data call for engineering control projects will occur annually by AFSC/EN. (paragraph 1)
