Regardless of the situation, safety precautions must NEVER be ignored or bypassed, even during the simplest ammunition-handling evolutions. If you are involved in weapons assembly, always review the applicable safety precautions before beginning the evolution. A few of these general safety precautions are as follows: 1. Fuze or defuze (electric fuzes only) bombs in handling rooms or spaces specifically designed for such purposes. 2. Normally, mechanical nose-fuzed, high- explosive bombs are fuzed after the weapon is loaded on the aircraft. When the aircraft is carrier based, it must be spotted on the flight deck. Exceptions to this rule are authorized when loading bombs that require special fuzing RADHAZ susceptible units, integral fuzing, and all-up-rounds. 3. Detonators, boosters, primers or other firing devices aren’t assembled in or removed from bombs unless specifically prescribed for the weapon. 4. Fuzes aren’t allowed to accumulate at the fuzing stations. Never stockpile fuzes. They must be withdrawn from stowage on an as needed basis. 5. Never, under any circumstance, try to disassemble or repair a fuze. Also, never try to render inert a live, loaded item of ordnance. 13-30
