  2. SAFENET What SAFENET is: • An anonymous reporting system where firefighters can voice safety and health concerns. • Documents corrective actions taken at the field level or provides suggested corrective actions for higher level of action. What SAFENET is NOT: • A forum for personal attacks/defamation. • A mechanism to elevate “pet peeves”. • Only used for incidents that need higher level corrective action. Interagency criteria for posting SAFENETs: • Clearly stated safety or health issue encountered in wildland fire or all hazard operations.

  3. SAFENET Management 3 Ways to Submit: • Electronic - http://safenet.nifc.gov/ • Hard copy form – PMS 405-2, NFES 2633 • Dedicated telephone line – 1-888-670-3938 SAFENET Administrators: • SAFENET sponsored by NWCG-Safety & Health Working Team and managed by the Federal Fire & Aviation Safety Team (FFAST) located at the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) • FFAST designated SAFENET report administrator – sanitizes reports, determines agency distribution, posting/non-posting follow-up including corrective actions. Agency Review: • Every SAFENET is reviewed by respective jurisdictional agency FFAST representative or by the National Association of State Foresters representative.

  4. Near Miss Reporting National SAFENET submission decline from 2005: 2005 -- 180 submissions 2006 -- 155 submissions 2007 -- down to 119 submissions Every report matters – do your part and REPORT!!! SAFENET submitted reports have made a difference and resulted in success stories. The wildland fire community is much better served by taking action at a near-miss (incident) level than waiting for tragedy to occur…see Safety Triangle (next slide)…
