JB Trading Co
Risk Management Plan

1. Introduction.

This Risk Management plan has been established to ensure the health and safety of those individuals and personnel, who manage, operate, use, or frequent the JB Trading Co weapons complex.

This document specifically addresses risk management issues and is required reading for all weapons complex personnel. All JB Trading Co staff members will be required to read and understand this document both verbally and sign the written acknowledgement form, Tab A. All shooting visitors to the weapons complex will be required to receive the range briefing prior to handling any weapons on the firing line and sign the written acknowledgement form, Tab B.

This document in conjunction with Firing Line Safety personnel and signs will help create a safe environment. The rest of the responsibility is on the individual to create the safe environment for all activities. Every JB Trading Co staff member and participant has the inherent responsibility to monitor safety and to enforce risk management rules.

2. Facility

All weapon firing activities will be conducted from the firing line or forward of the firing line when so approved by JB Trading Co staff. The impact zone is designated by neon poles, flags, and placards on the perimeter of the impact zone. In addition, a NO IMPACT zone is designated by caution tape for up to 20 meters in front of the firing line. Firing into the NO IMPACT zone to the front of the firing line and firing outside of the designated impact zone is expressly prohibited.

The firing line is a built up dirt and gravel platform area on the north side of the property. The firing line has an engineer flagging tape line on the front side that marks the no forward movement of that line and this engineer flagging tape is also the location for all muzzles prior to discharge.

ALL PERSONNEL ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SECURING THEIR OWN PROPERTY AND WEAPONS. JB TRADING CO IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THEFT OR LOSS

3. Signs and Forms

Signs are posted throughout the complex. Behind the firing line is a suggested ear and eye protection zone. The firing line is a REQUIRED ear and eye protection zone. Light poles associated with each firing pad will have the RANGE SAFETY RULES, Tab B, posted for easy reference at any time.

All individuals on the firing line will sign a HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT, Tab C, that will be placed on file with JB Trading Co. Each person on the firing line must wear an identification badge. This badge will have a sticker to indicate acknowledgement for the firing line safety briefing and signing of the Hold Harmless Agreement. Any personnel on the line without this acknowledgement will be required to leave the firing line.

4. Firing Line Commands and Identification

A standard set of Firing Line Commands, Tab D, will be utilized at all times for firing line activities. The Range Safety Officer, RSO, will issue the commands over the public address, PA, system to all participants. In addition to the PA system a SAFETY BUZZER will be utilized to CEASE FIRE and make all weapons safe.

Weapons Complex Firing Line safeties will be distinguished by their orange JB Trading Co T Shirts. Line safeties will utilize flags/paddles to signify ready/not ready to the RSO.

A violation of firing lines rules, depending on the severity, can result in the immediate removal from the firing line and the forfeiture of all fees and privileges.

Any disagreements with firing line safeties about violations of weapons complex firing line rules will be addressed to one of three personnel – Jeff Brandt, Lad Langley, Rodney Campbell. At least one of these personnel will generally be located at the firing line or the JB Trading Co HQ. Any decision made by these personnel is final.
