MIL-HDBK-1027/4A
portable halon extinguishers are permitted; however, automatic halon
extinguishing systems are not. Convey fire alarm signals to the base fire
department via the base fire reporting system. Verify the type of system
with the station fire department.
5.2.10
Safety. The design of all military facilities that serve as places
of employment should conform to, or be consistent with, all applicable
standards published under the OSHA of 1970. Note that Chapters 5 through 7
of this reference state that whenever construction criteria and OSHA
standards conflict, "the standard providing the greatest degree of safety
should govern." Obtain a System Safety Work Group (SSWG), PHL and RAC hazard
rating established by the activity and found in the facility study. Typical
hazards include equipment guards and clearances, carbon dioxide discharge and
hydraulic systems.
Moving and electrically energized parts and pressurized hydraulic
systems are primary concerns. Include a safety eyewash/shower in accordance
with ANSI Z358.1 where hydraulic or other petroleum, oil and lubricant (POL)
materials are used in the building. Provide drain and hood or curtain for
flow testing eyewash/shower. Arrange for hydraulic pumps to shut down
automatically if a leak or break occurs in the line at any point. Provide
emergency shutoff switches for the hydraulic pumps at the instructor's
station. Provide three feet safety clearances around training devices.
Paint floor around any rotating device yellow and black and indicate the type
of hazard, e.g., "Strike hazard-rotating device -stay clear."
Provide lifesaving equipment and stowage racks as follows:
a)
A light strong pole not less than 12 feet long with a body
hook.
b) A minimum 1/4" diameter throwing rope as long as one and one-
half times the maximum width of the pool or 50 feet, whichever is less, to
which has been firmly attached a U.S. Coast Guard approved ring buoy.
Provide 2 units of the above for pools exceeding 3000 square feet.

Environmental Requirements. For applicable discharge criteria,
consult with the NAVFAC Criteria Office and the cognizant EFD. Refer to
MIL-HDBK-1005/8. Design facilities to meet environmental requirements at
federal, state and local levels. Obtain a MSDS on every toxic or suspected
toxic product to be used at the facility and design in protective measures
and ventilation methods. Comply with all applicable pollution abatement
criteria.
