  1. ENABLING LEARNING OBJECTIVE # 2 Action: Determine your role in AMV driver/operator safety, in a classroom Environment Condition: In a classroom setting, discuss the Primary Causes of Accident, Procedures in case of Accident, Precautionary Measures, Preparation of Records and Forms, and General Safety, Environmental factors/Road condition.

  2. ENABLING LEARNING OBJECTIVE (Cont.) Standard: Discuss IAW AR 385-55 Prevention of Motor Vehicle Accident, TC 21-305 (Accident Avoidance), AR 385-10 and FORSCOM Regulation 385-1

  3. INTRODUCTION: q This Lesson establishes responsibilities and procedures for carrying out the Army Safety program’s motor accident prevention effort and reducing the risk of death and injury to Army personnel in privately owned vehicle (POV) and Army motor vehicle (AMV) accidents.

  4. INTRODUCTION (Cont.) qIn every mission, there is a fight against two enemies. One is the declared enemy – the threat to national security. The other enemy is human error. It watches us, and it waits. It singles out individual soldiers, an aircraft-perhaps a tank, an artillery crew, or an indirect ways, plays on our peace of mind, and often attacks without warning. The process you will learn today will help you to defeat both enemies during war or inpeace.

  5. TRAINING 1)Accident Avoidance/Causes and Report. 2)      General Safety

  6. 1. ACCIDENT AVOIDANCE DRIVER’S TRAINING/CAUSES AND REPORT(IAW AR 385-55, APPENDIX B-4 PAGE 10) • All personnel (Active Army, US Army Reserves, Army National Guard, and civilian) requires to drive AMV (Army Motor Vehicles) will be given classroom instruction in accident avoidance. This instruction will be designed to establish and reinforce a positive attitude toward the driving task. FL REG. 600-55 requires operators to receive the training outlined in the TC 21-305.

  7. ACCIDENT AVOIDANCE(Continued) • For military and civilian personnel, such education will be given as soon as possible after entry into government service and every 4 years thereafter as part of the license renewal procedure. It will stress individual responsibility and the correct response to routine and emergency driving situations. AR 385-55This required training must be documented on the operator’s DA Form 348’s. AR 600-55 page 13 “348”.

  8. ACCIDENT AVOIDANCE (Continued) • TC 21-305, page 2-1. Training program for Wheeled Vehicle Accident Avoidance meets all of the above requirements and has been implemented for use by Fort Lewis Regulation 600-55. This course is divided into several sub-courses starting with an introduction in Risk Assessment; sub-courses are as follows.

  9. ACCIDENT AVOIDANCE(Continued) • 1. Staying alert and fit to drive • 2. Vehicle inspection • Visual search • Communication • Manage speed • Manage space • Operate Vehicle at night • Safety rules and procedures for driving under adverse weather conditions. • Hazards • Driving emergencies. • Trailer operations. • Accident procedures. • Total recommended training is 6.5 hours.

  10. PRIMARY CAUSE OF ACCIDENT: • Traveling at a speed too fast for conditions • Following too closely • Driving while fatigued or under influence of alcohol or drugs • Wrongfully assuming the right-of-way • Misjudging clearances on turns, in passing, and so forth • Backing without exercising caution • Cellular phone

  11. PROCEDURES IN CASE OF ACCIDENT: • If you are involved in a motor vehicle accident, take certain steps to protect your own interest and that of the government and to aid others involved in the accident. Some steps to take follow: 1.  If a fire breaks out and you cannot put it out with a fire extinguisher or sand, send for the fire department

  12. If any one seems injured, render first aid. Then summon the nearest military or civilian medical doctor or ambulance, whichever can be secured in less time. Military personnel with only minor injuries should be sent to a military hospital when practical. For the Fort Lewis area, 911 can be used to summon emergency personnel. Be aware that some parts of the United States do not have 911 capability

  13.  3.If civil authorities are not present, send for them. State laws requires that police be summoned to all motor vehicle accidents. In such matters, the military cooperates with civil authorities that are responsible for investigating all accidents on public highways. Only the police can release you from an accident scene.

  14.  4.Whenever practical, report the accident to your unit by telephone as soon as you have finished your duties at the scene of the accident. Your unit’s HQ will accept collect charge if you must report the accident by long distance. Do not dial 1-8---COLLECT when making a long distance call. It would be better to go through the Operator and explain to he/she what the circumstances are. Remember, ALL accidents/incidents, whether in a military vehicle or civilian vehicle must be reported to your unit.

  15. PRECAUTION AGAINST FURTHER ACCIDENT: • After a motor vehicle accident, the vehicle or vehicles involved are frequently in dangerous locations. Often crowd collects in the road. To prevent additional accidents, damage, or injury, be sure to place your warning devices keep other traffic moving with caution, and prohibit smoking around the scene

  16. PRECAUTION AGAINST FIRE: • Avoid fuel fires by shutting off all engines and pulling the emergency shut-off handle, if your vehicle is equipped with one. Prohibit smoking around a motor vehicle accident scene. Spread dirt or sand over any spilled fuel as soon as possible. Keep in mind that if fuel fire does start, water cannot be used to put it out. Water will only spread the fire. When doing a PMCS on your vehicle, make sure you check to see if your fire extinguishers are serviceable.

  17. REMOVING VEHICLE FROM ACCIDENT SCENE: •   Moving the vehicle from the scene of the accident must be governed by laws or regulations of the state or areas where the accident occurred. Obtain all the necessary data relating to the accident before moving the vehicle. Make sure to mark the exact position of all vehicles and objects before moving them. The state of Washington wants you to move the vehicle off the roadways if the vehicle is movable and posing a threat to other traffic. This rule applies especially to freeways.

  18. QUESTION: • Primary causes of accidents are: • a.     Traveling too fast for conditions • b.      Following too closely • c.       Driving while fatigued • d.      All of the above

  19. When involved in accident, you must • Call the civil police or military police. (Whichever applies) • Call an ambulance or doctor, if needed • Assist the injured, if needed • All of the above

  20. Are you required to notify your company in all accidents? a. Yes b. No • To prevent additional accidents, damage, or injury, you should: • Place your warning devices • Keep other traffic moving • Prohibit smoking around the accident • All of the above

  21. DD Form 518

  22. PREPARATION OF DD FORM 518 (Accident Identification Card): (FM 21-305) • The purpose of DD Form 518 is to give any persons involved in an accident all of the information that they require from you. You fill this form out at the scene of the accident or as promptly as possible and give it to the person directly concerned. If the accident involves a parked vehicle and the person concerned is not present, place the DD Form 518 in the vehicle or secure on the windshield. Notify local authorities and then stand by the scene of the accident for their arrival, if practical.

  23. PREPARATION OF SF 91 (Motor Vehicle Accident Report): (FM 21-305) • Always stop and investigate any accident in which you are involved. The only possible exception to this rule might be in combat or in case of military necessity when you are operating under definite orders not to stop. Even though an accident is minor or not your fault, you must report it so that the facts will be clearly presented and so that you can give the names of witnesses. This protects both you and your government against claims and exaggerations. For the purposes of reporting an accident, use SF 91 (Motor Vehicle Accident Report). Let’s take a look how this form is filled out.
