a. Conduct realistic training exercises within the bounds of an effective composite risk management program.
Before training, ensure the complete integration of composite risk management along with command approval prior to
the event, then thoroughly brief all cadre and IET Soldiers on the risks associated with each specific training
event/activity. This will include identification of specific hazards and controls used to reduce the risk of accidents
associated with the training event. TSP composite risk assessment and unit risk assessment will be reviewed to verify
the proper level of risk has been identified. IET risk assessment will address all applicable safety procedures and
potential accident producing conditions. Emphasize unusual vehicle, water, weapons safety considerations, and
environmental hazards in training areas prior to and during the training. Training cadre is proactive and aggressive in
reducing/preventing training injuries and fatalities.

(1) Each installation will establish standard procedures to ensure that emergency treatment is readily available
during training.

(2) TRADOC service schools and major subordinate commands will apply composite risk management
techniques to eliminate or control hazards IAW guidelines established in FM 5-19, TR 350-70, chapter I-2, and TR
385-2, paragraph 3-2. The safety manager will review and validate all TSP risk assessments.

(3) Brigade, battalion, and company commanders, CSMs and 1SGs will complete the Commander’s Safety
Course prior to assuming IET duties. The Commander’s Safety Course (Course number 012G1403) is one of the
ATSC distance learning courses accessible at https://www.atsc.army.mil.

(4) Unit commanders will ensure all safety controls identified in the composite risk management worksheet are
implemented prior to the start of training. Commanders will ensure all initial training period risk assessments are
completed reflecting the conditions at the training site for the specific training period. Risk assessments are
maintained at the training site, and are living, working documents and must be continually updated as conditions
change. Composite risk management policy is IAW TR 385-2, paragraph 1-5.

(5) The instructor will integrate the appropriate safety/caution statement into each task, and evaluate
performance while Soldiers perform the task to the prescribed standard. The instructor will have a copy of the
composite risk management worksheet with them during the training event.

>
(6) All training safety is built on a three-tiered approach to safety (command, leader, and individual).
>
>
(a) Tier 1 (commander responsibility). Validate the structural soundness of the training and evaluation plan for
safety, ensure safety related matters are addressed, and make risk acceptance decisions. Ensure all risk assessment
worksheets are signed at the appropriate level for the risk involved (low, moderate, high, or extremely high).
>
>
(b) Tier 2 (first-line leader responsibility). Consider actions taken by responsible individuals, establish a safety
over watch of training, focus on adherence to standards, and make risk acceptance decisions within the commander’s
intent and delegated authority.
>
>
(c) Tier 3 (individual Soldier responsibility). Ensure Soldiers look after themselves and others, and know how
