  2. Overview • Safety Incident • Nov Sentinel • ‘SAFEX’ • Update on Applications for CAP/SE Support Staff • Safety Management Systems (SMS) • Psychological Safety • How to Practice Reporting Mishaps • Oct 2009 Body Incidents • Oct Safety Day results • Deer Season

  3. Mishap Report • Mishap description: On Oct 19, five minutes into a flight, the engine suddenly died. The instructor took control of the flight and glided it to a uneventful landing.

  4. Mishap Report • Investigation and Cause: Human error, preflight. The pilot and mechanic were convinced that the problem was electrical in nature and focused their investigation on the magneto. After several hours the fuel tank was checked and found to be empty. The pilot admitted responsibility when he said, “The joke is on me boys. The bird won’t fly with out gasoline.”

  5. Mishap Report • Location: College Park Airport, MD • Student pilot: 1Lt Frank P. Lahm • Date of mishap: 19 Oct 1909 • (12 days after the aircraft was uncrated and assembled) • Type: Wright Military Flier

  6. Mishap Report • Mishap Instructor Pilot: Wilbur Wright • Recommendation: Lt Lahm was allowed to continue training and soloed 7 days latter, on 26 October. • Peter Grier, “The College Park Century” Air Force Magazine, 9 Sep 09, p 88

  7. Lesson • After 100 years, bad things still happen to good people but that does not end our struggle to reduce or eliminate all preventable mishaps.

  8. Sentinel: Heard of SAREX? What about ‘SAFEX’? • We all know that the CAP SAREX is a call to practice skills • We practice because we want to be able to respond appropriately in an emergency • Why not incorporate a mishap scenario into your next SAREX • Reviews procedures • MN Sup to CAPR 62-2, contact NOC, time limits, information to collected, on-line form 78 • Identifies limitations

  9. Sentinel: Update on Applications for CAP/SE Support Staff • Call for applications to serve on the volunteer support staff for the National Safety Officer is forthcoming • Do not start sending in resumes or letters of interest. • Expect announcements for flight safety, transportation safety, and personal safety, i.e. bodily injury, specialists to assist the National Safety Officer. • They will let us know when they are ready for applications.

  10. Sentinel: Safety Management Systems (SMS) • SMS is a heavy reliance on data that is, in turn, used to help guide senior leader decisions across the enterprise • Expect more emphasis on data collection and relevant analysis to help reduce risk and support mission success • SMS is a quality management approach to controlling risk (FAA has an advisory circular that covers SMS)

  11. The four pillars of safety management! The SMS is a management standard that is organized around four basic tenets of safety program management: • Policy – CAP is a military-style organization and the Air Force’s auxiliary. We have plenty of policies and sometimes we just need to look around, remind ourselves of existing guidance, and make sure we comply! • Safety Risk Management – ORM fits the bill and that’s all we’ll say about that for right now. • Safety Assurance – This is the one piece that CAP needs to work on most, and we will construct that pillar in the coming months. • Safety Promotion – This is not just a slogan or a campaign, but a commitment to a Core Value (like Excellence and Integrity). Why reinvent the wheel when it’s sitting out in the front yard already?

  12. Sentinel: Psychological Safety • What is ‘psychological safety’ and ‘psychological mishap prevention’? • Learn as much as you can about Critical Incident Stress Management. • Learn how to recognize signs of distress and where to turn for help. • For more information visit www.cism.cap.gov

  13. Sentinel: How to Practice Reporting Mishaps • Simulating the submission of a mishap report • Under no circumstances should your simulation include entering data into the on-line safety system • Use a printed form 78 from the Safety Forms web page in e-Services • If making the actual contacts listed in the MN Wing Supplement, ensure everyone understands it is an exercise

  14. New Injuries for Oct • 17 Oct. CADET FELL WHILE RUNNING AT NIGHT IN LOOSE GRAVEL. SCRAPPED SMALL FINGER.

  15. Annual Safety Day • CAPR 62-1 4 JUNE 2008 Para 3.h “An annual Safety Day will be held in all units sometime during the month of October to focus on improving safety knowledge and attitudes during the new fiscal year.” • Report completion to through Group CC to Wg/SE by 1 Nov 09 • Reported Safety Day Complete • All units in Group 4 • Viking, • Northwest, • N Hennepin • Valley

  16. Deer Season • All zones of MN (including the Metro) have seasons • Deer hunting November 7 to 15th (some zones are active up to 29 Nov) • Hunters have their upper body and head gear in Blaze Orange • CAP ground teams could be miss-identified if not properly clothed • Recommend same Blaze Orange gear as hunters (Leave the antler hat and camouflaged gear at home!!!)

  17. Be Safe (even if you ride a broom)
