1.
The aim of these orders is to lay down the rules and procedures for the conduct of
training on the Aldershot Dry Training Areas and facilities on them. They should be read in
conjunction with the relevant weapons and safety pamphlets. Should any difference exist
between these orders and the pamphlets with regard to procedure and safety; these orders
are to take precedence.

All exercises are to have an Exercise Action Safety Plan (EASP/DRASP). This is to
be made in conjunction with these orders and the Register of Risk for the Dry Training
Areas, Reference G.
3.
All users are to be aware that the training areas are surrounded by urbanisation:
see Reference A. This may bring the public in direct contact with military training. It is
impossible to totally exclude the public from the Dry Training Areas and exercising units
should take precautions to ensure that members of the public are not put at risk.
4.
Any public relations incidents must be reported to SE Trg Estates Ops Room without
delay. Be aware that the local populace know the rules for the Training Areas and are not
slow to complain.
5.
To ensure that your exercise is conducted safely and without incident these orders are
to be complied with.
6.
The areas are blighted by fly-tippers and other illegal activities. Any unit/person who
witnesses such behaviour is to report the incident to SE Trg Estates Ops Room giving as
much information as possible. We try to keep the areas clean and tidy: please help us.

ALDERSHOT B4a B4d, B4b and B4eTRAINING AREA – LONG VALLEY TEST TRACK
1.
Allocating Authority. The control of use of the Long Valley Test Track facilities
were transferred from the DRA (DERA) to HQ 4 Div in Oct 98. At that time the buildings
were transferred to HQ Aldershot Garrison as caretakers and control of the Test Track
itself was transferred in Feb 99. HQ SE Trg Estates now controls use of the B4d B4b and
B4e Test Track by military or civilian users. The main compound/wash down and Control
Building have been handed over to OC Combat Service Support Trials and Development
Unit (CSS TDU). Phone number (see annex B).
2.
Background to B4d, B4b and B4e has been used as a vehicle testing ground for
many years both by MOD agencies and civilian organisations and is recognised as an
industry / MOD standard for mobility and reliability testing for wheeled vehicles. The area
is in constant use both by the current incumbents’ CSS TDU, MOD agencies and licensed
civilian users. Due to the nature of vehicle testing there is a greater danger of risk arising
from multiple users operating on the B4d, B4b and B4e area concurrently, in particular to
dismounted troops. Users are instructed by SE Trg Estates to report to CSS TDU for a
safety brief to de-conflict with concurrent activity.
3.
Access. Access to the area B4a,b,d & e is controlled by SE Trg Estates via the
booking procedures and the issue of an appropriate key. All pole barriers are closed and
locked immediately after the vehicle(s) / troops have entered the area. Users are
instructed by SE Trg Estates to report to CSS TDU during normal working hours for a
safety brief to de-conflict with concurrent activity. No user is to access the area without
receiving this brief. For use outside of normal working hours, the CSS TDU must be
contacted in advance.
4.
Booking. Area B4d, B4b and B4e itself is to be booked separately from the
remainder of area B4. CSS TDU have been granted primary user status however
Licensed use by any civilian user, or military events involving civilian participants are to
be arranged through SE Trg Estates, which is to obtain military authority from SE Trg
Estates prior to the issue of the license. HQ SE Trg Estates will include B4d, B4b and B4e
bookings in its monthly Training area programme.
5.
Responsibilities:
a.
Circuit. All users are to use the track on the existing one-way system following
the arrowed route. Since the circuit is often used at speed, no vehicles are to park or
be left on the track; if a breakdown occurs all activity is to cease until the vehicle is
recovered. Any incident must be immediately reported to the CSS TDU, and
subsequently to HQ SE Trg Estates the allocating authority via SE Trg Estates Ops
Room.
b.
Control. Every user is to appoint a Track Controlling Officer (TCO) or in the
case of dismounted troops a nominated single controlling person/point of contact,
which is responsible for the use of the circuit / training area as booked. This person
is to is to brief all drivers / users on the safety aspects including speed restriction and
is to check personally that the track is clear before use. The safety vehicle is to carry
a first aid kit, fire Extinguisher (fuel), recovery/tow rope an environmental spill pack
and a mobile phone. In addition, CSS TDU is to inspect the condition of the track and
barriers at least once a week and inform SE Trg Estates of any problems.
54
OFFICIAL
c.
Use of B4d. Since B4 training areas are in constant use by other military units
and public, all users must be aware that, although there are signs and wire fences in
place as a warning, people, cyclists and animals may appear on the track at any time.
d.
Vehicle Recovery Plans. All users are responsible for arranging their own
vehicle recovery plans before training is undertaken on the area.
e.
Wash down Facilities. There is no wash down facilities for outside units using
Area B4d.
f.
Silt Traps. During periods of heavy rain, silt is washed off the Test Track and
unless trapped on site, can be carried down the Gelvert Stream and into Fleet Pond,
a local Nature Reserve. Responsibility for arranging maintenance and emptying of
the silt traps will remain with HQ SE Trg Estates in consultation with Natural England
to the SSSI status of the site. In the worst-case HQ SE Trg Estates may close the
Test Track to avoid serious silt run-off.
g.
Safety. All booked users of B4d, B4B and B4e are to report to OC CSS TDU
for a briefing prior to using the area. In the event of a serious accident, the civilian
emergency services are to be called using 999 giving the RV access gate.
h.
Test Track Maintenance. If surface maintenance is required, it is to be carried
out as part of the Training area maintenance plan and funded through HQ SE Trg
Estates.
i.
CSS TDU Compound. Outside units are not permitted inside CSS TDU
Compound unless express permission has been granted through OC CSS TDU.
6.
Orders. A copy of this Annex is to be sent to every potential user with the
booking confirmation. DIO will send a copy to every civilian user with the
license.

Notes:
1
If using a ‘Generic’ risk assessment, Assessors and Managers are to satisfy themselves that the assessment is valid for the task and that all significant hazards have
been identified and assessed. If additional hazards are latterly identified they are to be recorded and the Generic assessment updated.
2
Only a reference to the safe system of work or simple description of the control measures is required. If the existing control measures reduce the risk to ALARP and
the residual risk is considered not to be significant then no further assessment should be needed for the risk relating to that hazard.
3
If the risk assessment identifies the need for additional control measures, the risk relating to that hazard and any other hazard s affected by the change will need to be
reassessed once the additional controls have been implemented.
4
Managers are to note that they are responsible for production of the risk assessment and that by completing this section they acknowledge ownership of the risk and
that the risk assessment is suitable and sufficient. Signatures may be required by local procedures where hard copy risk assessments are used but are not necessary
for soft copies as electronic signatures provide an audit trail.
5
Risk Assessments are to be reviewed:
• at a frequency proportional to the risk (e.g. high risk – 6 monthly; medium risk – annually; low risk – every 2 years)
• where required by local instructions/procedures;
• prior to use if the safe execution of the activity relies on:
o a permit to work; or
o stringent adherence to a safe system of work and/or supervision.
• if there is reason to doubt the effectiveness of the assessment.
• following an accident or near miss.
• following significant changes to the task, process, procedure, personnel or line management.
• following the introduction of more vulnerable personnel.
