What this publication covers
AR 385-10 addresses the Army Safety and Occupational Health Program. Its scope includes the program framework, organizational responsibilities, and safety subjects across Army activities. Leaders use it when a safety question concerns the required program or responsible organization, rather than only the worksheet for a single training event.
The verified title explicitly includes occupational health, and the contents begin with the program and responsibilities. Risk management connects to that framework through related references such as ATP 5-19 and DA PAM 385-30. Range safety has its own publication as well. GreenBook's risk assessment workspace can help organize hazards, controls, and follow-up, but it does not accept risk on behalf of a commander or satisfy every safety requirement. Begin with the activity and the policy question, then follow the official publication and the specialized reference that addresses the hazard involved.

Common questions
What regulation covers the Army safety program?
AR 385-10 is the Army Safety and Occupational Health Program regulation. Use specialized references as needed for the particular activity or hazard.
Is a risk worksheet the whole safety program?
No. A worksheet supports planning for an activity. The regulation addresses a broader program, responsibilities, and requirements that cannot be reduced to one form.
