What is the purpose of Army Regulation AR 40-10?
The purpose of Army Regulation AR 40-10 is to establish policies and procedures for the Health Hazard Assessment (HHA) program in support of the Army acquisition process.

What does the HHA program aim to achieve?
The HHA program aims to identify health hazards associated with Army acquisition programs, along with developing and implementing strategies to mitigate those hazards.

Who is responsible for implementing the HHA program?
The HHA program is the responsibility of the Army Medical Department (AMEDD).

What is the scope of the HHA program?
The HHA program applies to all Army acquisition programs, including research, development, testing, and fielding of materiel systems.

When should the HHA program be initiated?
The HHA process should be initiated early in the Army acquisition process, preferably during the concept formulation and development stages.

What are the key considerations during the HHA process?
The HHA process involves identifying hazards, assessing risks, developing risk management strategies, and monitoring their implementation throughout the acquisition life cycle.

What information sources are used in the HHA process?
The HHA process utilizes scientific and technical data, past experiences, professional judgment, and the expertise of subject matter experts.

How are HHA findings communicated and documented?
The HHA findings are communicated through formal reports and are documented in the appropriate acquisition document, such as the System Safety Hazard Analysis Report.

Can acquisition programs proceed without completing the HHA process?
No, acquisition programs require completion of the HHA process to ensure the health hazards associated with the program are identified and appropriately managed.
