O
ne day a Soldier walked up to a Bradley powerpack that was being prepared
for ground hop. Two mechanics were kneeling down behind the powerpack to
troubleshoot a wiring problem that was preventing startup. They didn’t notice the
visiting Soldier.
Interested in the work going on, the Soldier leaned over the powerpack to get a
better look. He placed one hand on the generator near the forward mounted fan. Can
you see where this is headed?
The mechanics fxed the wiring problem and the engine immediately started.
Fortunately, this Soldier lost only one fnger. It could have been worse—much worse.
Always
remember
to
exercise
situational
awareness,
especially
when
walking
around
maintenance areas. All around you are potential
dangers—ground hopping, welding, grinding, and
li±t operations—that could catch unsuspecting
Soldiers by surprise.
Maintenance NCOs, consider training
opportunities such as Sergeant’s Time as
a chance to remind Soldiers to be aware
of their surroundings. Make marking
or roping off danger areas part of
your unit’s SOP.
