  1. June 08 Safety Meeting Larry Brockshus

  2. Overview • ORM • Lawn Safety • Thunderstorms • Sentinel

  3. Required ORM annual refresher • I know you can’t wait…

  4. The Six Step path to ORM may seem long…

  5. Six Steps • Step One: Identify the Hazards • Step Two: Assess Risks • Step Three: Analyze Risk Control Measures • Step Four: Make Risk Control Decisions • Step Five: Implement Risk Controls • Step Six: Supervise and Review

  6. Step One: Identify the Hazards • First analyze the mission • List the possible hazards • Charts events chronologically or in order of importance to reduce the chances of forgetting any segment • Stay focused on the specific event under analysis and limit your list to the "big picture" • Choose the cause that is the first link in the chain of events

  7. Step Two: Assess Risks • Assess the risk for each hazard. • Probability of an event • Severity of the outcome PROBABILITY Often Likely Occn’l Seldom Unlikely Catastrophic Extremely High Critical High SEVERITY Moderate Medium Low Negligible

  8. Step Three: Analyze Risk Control Measures • Lower the probability of occurrence and/or decrease the severity : • Identify the control options available • Determine their effects on the risk level • Prioritize the control measures • Once determined, rank them starting with the controls that have the greatest effect on severity and probability

  9. Step Four: Make Risk Control Decisions • Make decisions at the right time • Late as possible to allow more time for collecting info. • Wait too long, and decisions can't be effectively integrated • Make risk control decisions at the right level. • Who can best judge the full range of issues involved. • Keep the person who takes the heat in the loop. • The goal is not the least level of risk; it is the best level of risk for the total mission

  10. Step Five: Implement Risk Controls • Make an implementation plan. For each control: • Make implementation clear • Establish accountability • Provide support at all levels • Seven most common reasons why implementation plans fail: • Wrong control for the problem • Disliked by the operators • Disliked by the leaders • Too costly • Overmatched by other priorities • Misunderstood • Not measured until it's too late

  11. Step Six: Supervise and Review • Determining the actual effectiveness of risk controls throughout the operation • Supervision of the implementation • Review of the cost/benefit balance • Feedback on the original plan

  12. ORM Integration • The integration of ORM is crucial because: • Maximize training realism by reducing unnecessary restrictions and limitations. • Expand operational capabilities in virtually all areas. • Enhance overall decision making. • Make ORM the leading edge of improved employee-management relations. • Cuts losses significantly.

  13. Integration within the Organization • It’s leadership’s responsibility to decide where to integrate ORM. But this decision should not be made in isolation. All personnel should have an opportunity to identify hazards to mission success. This ensures early buy-in.

  14. Now that didn’t hurt

  15. Lawn Safety

  16. Be Safe while Operating Lawn & Garden Equipment Operation • Each year about 400,000 people are treated in hospital emergency rooms for injuries from lawn and garden tools. • "Consumers must do their part to care for their own safety. They need to always use lawn and garden tools responsibly and follow manufacturer's instructions." Consumer Product Safety Commission

  17. Consumers must do their part to care for their own safety.

  18. Be Safe while Operating Lawn & Garden Equipment • Dress properly. • Wear long pants, long-sleeved shirts no jewelry, Sturdy shoes with slip-resistant rubber soles, Eye protection, Gloves • Remove objects from area that could cause injury • Make sure safety devices on the equipment are in place • NEVER let a child ride or operate a garden tractor or riding mower • Teenagers should only be allowed to operate such equipment if they possess adequate strength and maturity. • Keep young children indoors • Be alert if children enter the mowing area. • Unplug electrical tools and disconnect spark plug wires on gasoline-powered tools before making adjustments or clearing jams near moving parts.

  19. Be Safe while Operating Lawn & Garden Equipment Operation • Be sure power tools are turned off and made inoperable if they must be left unattended to prevent use by children. • Handle gas carefully. Never fill gasoline tanks while machinery is on or when equipment is still hot. Wipe up spills. Store gas in an approved container away from the house. • Never work with electrical power tools in wet or damp conditions. Use a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). GFCI's come in several models, including a portable, plug-in type. • Be sure that extension cords are in good condition, are rated for outdoor use, and are the proper gauge for the electrical current capacity of the tool. • Inspect the mower periodically for potential hazards, such as, loose belts, missing or damaged guards, and accumulation of grass, leaves or excessive grease to reduce fire hazards. • Garden equipment can be dangerous even when it is not in use. Sharp blades can cut if they are mishandled. Remember to think safety when operating and handling any type of outdoor power equipment.

  20. Power tools are great labor savers, but…

  21. Flight Safety Truly superior pilots are those who use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills.

  22. Thunderstorms There is no reason to fly through thunderstorms in peace time Legendary sign over Operations desk at Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ ca, 1970

  23. Primary Training • Little correlation between appearance and severity • Visible cloud is only part of the system • Up/down drafts to extend beyond it • Expect turbulence • 20 miles away for severe • 10 mile away for lesser storms • Turbulence intensity may vary with altitude • Generally increases with radar reflectivity (water content) • Worst turbulence 0deg C to -10deg C (Freeze level to 5K above) • No flight path through area of strong thunderstorms separated by 20-30 miles or less may be considered free of severe turbulence

  24. Thunderstorm Do’s • Avoid severe by 20 miles • Circumnavigate entire area if > 6/10 coverage • Deviate to the upward side (avoid hail) • Vivid and frequent lightening indicates probable strong thunderstorm • Use eyes…You can see most Great Plain thunderstorms • Use ATC to confirm what you see

  25. Thunderstorm Don’ts • Land or takeoff in the face of a thunderstorm • Attempt to fly under even if you can see the other side • Fly into cloud mass containing scattered embedded thunderstorms w/out radar • Trust visual appearance to be a reliable indicator of turbulence • Try to out climb building cells

  26. Turbulence • Thunderstorm turbulence can exceed structural limits • Down drafts can exceed climb capability of aircraft
