This publication compliments DAFI 91-202 and assigns responsibilities to individuals or functions to help commanders manage their safety and health program, ensuring they comply with OSHA, Department of Defense (DoD), and DAF guidance. This publication provides uniform guidance, which safety staffs and commanders may supplement when additional or more stringent safety, fire prevention and health criteria are required.
This document is substantially revised and must be completely reviewed. Major changes include adding the applicability to the USSF and clarifying and reinforcing requirements for Process Safety Management, which is now its own standalone chapter, Chapter 33, Process Safety Management (PSM) of Highly Hazardous Chemicals. Additionally, it includes creating a new Chapter 34, Additive Manufacturing Safety, for 3D printing, major changes to Chapter 12, Material Handling Equipment (MHE), regarding inspection criteria for material handling equipment, implementing required changes to confined space requirements recommended and mandated by the Air Force Audit Agency
Publications state their own changes on page 1 — behind a PDF the official host will not serve to a search engine. This is that section, verbatim. It describes the edition above, not every historical change.

4 publications in 4 other communities depend on this one, which Safety owns. Each community inspects its own publications; a dependency that crosses communities is owned by nobody, which is why this list normally does not exist anywhere. Built from the publications' own citations, so it reflects what we have read.
If DAFMAN 91-203 changes, these are the documents that point at it. Extracted from the publications' own text, so it reflects what we have read, not a complete dependency map. Every publishing office validates its own document; nobody validates the seams between them.
Records in this branch carrying the same series and number — interim changes, guidance memoranda, and unit supplements. A copy stamped with one of these is a different document from the base publication.
