coordinates dept safety program w/units safety officer and supervise dept division safety officer

• Ensure safety instructions are complied with
• -Submit additional safety instructions deemed necessary for command safety

Ensure people are familiar w/safety instructions in work centers

Know and follow all safety instructions

Report hazards

Formed to set goals, manage assets, and review safety related recommendations.

Meet once a month and descuss issues and provide recommendations for improved safety procedures

part of nearly ever mishap, involves both physical and mental factors, physical strength, physical stress and mental factors including the persons attitude and behavioral factors all of which effect the quality of work

• -Improper maintenance, improper priority assignments on work request, or lack of proper quality assurance.
• -Mishaps may occur from the way the manufacture made, assembled or installed the equipment.
• -Material damage/personal injury result from improperly maintained equipment

• Reviewing mishaps investigations
• -improper level of supervision or failure to meet personnel qual standards
• -lack of formal or informal training

faulty design, defective manufacture, or repair

-most mishaps blamed on material failure may really involve maintenance factors or human error

-extreme exposure to heat, cold, vibration, noise, illumination, radiation, or atmospheric contaminants

• A: reportable material property damage $1,000 or more
• -injury or occupational illness results in fatality or permanent total disability

• B: reportable material property damage $2,000 or more but less than $1,000,000
• -injury or occupational injury results in permanent partial disability
• -3 or more personnel are inpatient hospitalized

• -non fatal injury causes any loss of time beyond the day occured
• -non fatal illness causes loss of time from work or disability at any time

ensure a safe enviroment is maintaned when working on aeronautical equipment fuel systems

can generate electrical current/voltage large enough to cause life threatening electric shock, burns, biological changesm and cataracts.

-EED in ordnance can cause sparks and arcs which may ignite flammable materials

• design a series of safety factors established when using lasers.
• -establishing saftey regulations and standard operating procedures, eyewear, posting warning signs, training, safety surveys, medical surveillance, ect.

Devote time to safety training, awareness, and enhancement of the command safety climate

Used to identify and manage hazards and make informed decisions

-purpose is to increase operational readiness by anticipating hazards and increase the potential for success to gain competitive advantage in combat

• IDENTIFY HAZARDS
• ASSES HAZARDS
• MAKE RISK DECISION
• IMPLEMENT CONTROLS
• SUPERVISE
