Range was built month _________ year _________.

If after May 1980 and to an approved Corps of Engineer design,

place an X in Safe.

It built before May 1980, place an X in Limited.

Range has an operational ventilation system:

Make-up air inlets are provided and all are behind the firing line.

If not provided, check No and Unsafe.

Air velocity at the firing line is 50-75 fpm for ventilation systems

exhausting 100% at the bullet trap. If No, check Limited.

Downrange volume of air being moved is 35 cfm or greater with

no observable turbulence. If No, check Limited.

Exhaust air exceeds make-up air, range is maintained at a

negative pressure. If No, check Limited. If exhaust is not

working, check Unsafe.

Make-up air and exhaust systems are electrically interlocked. If

No, check Limited.

If Limited has been checked any one or more of 2b, c, d, or e;

has lead sampling been accomplished? If No, sample ASAP

using the guidance contained in Section 3 according to the

frequency specified in 29 CFR 1910.1025(d).

Range has a working target retrieval system. If No, check Limited.

Bullet stop is made of steel. If any material other than steel, check

Unsafe.

Steel bullet stop is in good condition, not bowed or pitted.

NOTE: If it appears punctures (holes) in the backstop are caused by

authorized weapons/ammunition, thickness of steel should be checked

against bullet stop specifications.

If it appears holes are caused by overshooting the range by use of

large and higher velocity cartridges than those authorized, this

indicates lack of range discipline.

If the possibility exists of shooting through the bullet stop and building

walls, floor or ceiling, firing will be prohibited immediately until the

limiting condition can be corrected.

Range has a venetian-blind type bullet stop and forward edges of steel

plates are maintained knife-sharp to prevent ricochets. If No, check

Limited.

Windows and/or door openings in front of the firing line are locked,

barred, or protected. If No, check Limited or Unsafe as appropriate.

List any other building envelope structural deficiencies that limit the use of the range or make it unsafe for use.

CLASSIFICATION and Comments: Based upon the above findings, this range is classified as:

UNSAFE - Any X in this category.

LIMITED - Any X in this category limits use to conditions that must be specified.

SAFE - ONLY X's in this category. Range is considered safe for all authorized firing.
