Improving Aerial Operations Safety Incident Reporting System Where we were What we did Results/Benefits
1996 - MNR Incident Reporting System Introduction Potentially Lead to Injury or Fatality Data Collection Potential Deficiencies -processes/procedures
Data 1996 data - 8.6 % chance of incident occurrence Reports submitted Air to air communications Air to ground communications Drop Zone Air Space Management Interagency Response
Approach • Reduce/Eliminate incident reports • Internal and External • Develop • product • process • implementation • maintenance
Logistical Problems Strategy/Approach AAO Staffing Shortage Timely delivery Consistent message Interagency response
Strategy/Approach • Serve as refresher - no new material • Non Air Attack personnel • Utilize for non MNR training • Provincial in nature • content • messages
Getting Started Main area identification Analyze potential areas 10 areas identified Safety/Refresher CD
Training Train the trainer sessions Trainers tasked - delivery AAO/pilot attendance Positive feedback Fine tuning Annual distribution
Maintenance Over winter review From 10 areas - fine tuned to 7 Roles/responsibilities of AAO Communication Air/Ground Procedures Radio procedures Air Space Management Interagency Response Feedback Paid dividends
Incident Report Data Missions% 1996 – 70 8.6% 1997 – 194 2.6% 1998 – 348 3.2% 1999 – 134 1.5% 2000 – 81 1.2% 2001 – 321 3.1% 2002 – 107 0.9%
60m(200ft) 120m (400ft) 60m(200ft) 350m (1200ft) Air Attack Safety Air Attack/ Ground Crew Co-ordination Rules 3) Drop Zone: Is to be clear of all people prior to the drop 200m (700 ft) 150 m (500ft)
Air Attack Safety Adhere to the Drop zone
Results/Benefits Increased awareness of Incident Reporting System Reduced number of incidents AAO/Field staff interaction Interagency response staff awareness Consistent provincial safety messages New training material to existing courses Improvements/additions to SOP for AAO’s/IAFB Improvement/additions to Helicopter Briefing books Increased feedback into aerial program
Conclusion Positive Impact on Program Delivery
Incident An undesired event HAVING THE POTENTIAL for physical harm to a person, or property damage. It can be described as a near miss or close call.
