The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has been ordered to take action to deal with risks from military selection exercises after the deaths of three Army reservists in the Brecon Beacons.
The three men died after falling ill during gruelling SAS selection training on the highest mountain in south Wales during one of the hottest days of the year.
A joint Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and police investigation into the circumstances surrounding the deaths is continuing.
However, the HSE has issued a notice ordering the MoD to take action to deal with the potentially fatal risks such top flight selection processes pose to those taking part.
A spokesman said: "HSE has issued a Crown Improvement Notice on the Ministry of Defence following the deaths of three Army reservists while on selection tests on the Brecon Beacons in July.
"The notice requires the Ministry to take action to deal with risks arising from its military selection exercises.
The Brecon Beacons in south Wales where the three men were training "HSE continues to investigate the deaths, supporting Dyfed Powys Police which is leading the investigation."
Edward John Maher, 31, Craig John Roberts, 24, and James Dunsby, 31, all died as a result of taking part in the demanding SAS selection in July.
On the day in question, July 13, temperatures hit 29.5 degrees Celsius.
A number of other soldiers taking part in the assessment on the day also collapsed and needed medical attention.
An MoD spokesman said: "We have co-operated fully with the Health and Safety Executive inspectors and are implementing all the recommendations in the Crown Improvement Notice."
