DANGEROUS MATERIALS STUDY FOR THE PACKAGING EVALUATION AGENCY, WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE

THE DOCUMENT CRITICALLY REVIEWS AND IMPROVES THE HAZARD CLASSIFICATIONS AND PACKAGING SPECIFICATIONS OF CHEMICAL MATERIALS LISTED IN AIR FORCE MANUAL 71-4. THE AIR FORCE MANUAL 71-4 LISTS THESE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS MATERIALS, DESCRIBES THEIR HAZARDS, AND PRESCRIBES PACKING FOR THEIR AIR SHIPMENT. THE CONTRACT EFFORT WAS SEPARATED INTO TWO TASKS. UNDER TASK I, THE PACKAGING GIVEN FOR ITEMS IN CHAPTER 4 OF AFM 71-4 WAS EVALUATED TO DETERMINE WHETHER ARTICLES WERE JUSTIFIABLY DESIGNATED AS HAZARDS OR, IF NOT SO DESIGNATED, WHETHER THEY SHOULD BE GIVEN HAZARD STATUS. IN TASK II, IMPROVED PACKAGING RECOMMENDATIONS WERE MADE FOR ITEMS RETAINING HAZARD STATUS UNDER TASK I SO THAT THEY CAN BE TRANSPORTED BY THE MILITARY AIRLIFT COMMAND AT THE SAME LEVEL OF DANGER POTENTIAL AS THE NON-HAZARD ITEMS.
