WARNING
Personnel hearing can be permanently damaged if exposed to constant high noise levels
of 85 dB or greater. Wear approved hearing protection devices when working in high noise
level areas. Personnel exposed to high noise levels shall participate in a hearing
conservation program in accordance with DA PAM 40-501 (WP 0131). Hearing loss occurs
gradually but becomes permanent over time. Failure to comply may result in personnel
injury.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, deadly poisonous gas which, when breathed,
deprives the body of oxygen and causes suffocation. Exposure to carbon monoxide
produces headache, dizziness, loss of muscular control, apparent drowsiness, coma, and
permanent brain damage. Failure to comply may result in personnel death or injury.
Carbon monoxide occurs in exhaust fumes and can become dangerously concentrated
under conditions of inadequate ventilation. The following precautions must be observed
during operation of the vehicle:
•
Do not operate heater or engine in enclosed areas.
•
Do not drive the vehicle with inspection plates or cover plates removed.
•
Do not sleep in the vehicle with the heater running or the engine idling.
•
Be alert for exhaust fumes and the symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure listed
above. If either is present, evacuate the vehicle and ventilate the
personnel compartments.
•
The gas particulate filter and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear
(CBRN) mask will not protect against carbon monoxide poisoning.
Failure to comply may result in personnel death or injury.
