scope:

General:

All Range Users operating on the AFSPC ranges, including the ER and WR, are subject to the requirements of this volume to ensure safety by design, testing, inspection, and hazard analysis. Air Force Occupational Safety and Health (AFOSH) standards do not apply to contractors or contractor employees except where Air Force personnel or property are endangered or if specifically required by contract.

The Space Shuttle Payload Ground Safety Handbook (KHB 1700.7) design requirements may be used in lieu of the design requirements of this volume only for payloads intended to fly on the Space Shuttle. Systems not addressed in KHB 1700.7 shall meet the requirements of this volume. For expendable launch vehicle payloads processed in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Kennedy Space Center (KSC) payload processing facilities, ground support equipment (GSE) may be designed to the requirements of KHB 1700.7 instead of AFSPCMAN 91-710 if the GSE is used only on KSC property.
