1. SWR SAFETY DAY2017 Colonel Mark Smith, CAP SWR Commander Lt Col John Kruger, CAP SWR Safety Director Lt. Col Melanie Capehart SWR Assistant Safety Director

2. SAFETY PLEDGE As a Civil Air Patrol member I pledge to promote an uncompromising safety environment for myself and others, and to prevent the loss of, or damage to Civil Air Patrol assets entrusted to me. I will perform all my activities in a professional and safe manner, and will hold myself accountable for my actions in all of our Missions for America.

3. SAFETY DAY • Safety Days are designed to assemble our personnel to discuss and increase awareness of safety related issues. Civil Air Patrol borrows this tradition from the USAF. • STOP - step back from the high pace and intensity of our day-to-day operations • Think about exactly how we're doing our business -- what are the risks out there and what can we do to get rid of them.

4. WHY A SAFETY DAY • Pause for introspection • Look at unit culture – how the unit trains, talks, acts and listens • Look at your self – your attitude toward risk • Focus on problem areas (trends) • This is a pre-emptive strike on future mishaps • To help keep us safe on and off-duty

5. WHY A SAFETY DAY • Directed by the CAP National Commander -help us start the new fiscal year in the right direction • Per CAPR 62-2 An annual Safety Day will be held in all units sometime during the months of Jan-Mar to focus on improving safety knowledge and attitudes during the new fiscal year. • -Significant overall increase in mishaps. • -Up coming changes to CAP REG 62-1 • -Safety Survey (Complete on eServices be- • teen 1 October and 31 January each fiscal • year).

6. TOPICS • There are a wide variety of topics and events you can use in your safety day. An entire safety day can be dedicated to a certain theme, depending on upcoming operations. • For today, however, we will cover: • Operational Risk Management (ORM) • Specifically cadet activities • Van Safety • Soft/Short Field Landing • Safety Culture

7. LINKS • Use these quick and easy summaries to find out about something new you're doing or as a refresher for something you haven't done in a while. • They're a great training tool to pass around at meetings, through e-mail, or post on bulletin boards. • http://www.safety.af.mil/ • http://www.public.navy.mil/navsafecen/Pages/index.aspx • http://www.nsc.org/library/facts.htm

8. Operational Risk Management(ORM) Fundamentals

9. ORM • We hate to beat ORM into the ground but it is just not being used effectively and we continue to see repeated mishaps…

10. ORM • Have you ever tried explaining ORM to someone outside of CAP and gotten that “deer in the headlights” look? • Have you ever tried to recite from memory the six steps to ORM just to find yourself fumbling with those two fleeting steps you just can’t quite put your finger on? • CAP leaders are encouraged to use the ORM forms to quantify and mitigate risk during CAP activities.

11. ORM • Operational Risk Management is a decision-making process to systematically evaluate possible courses of action, identify risks and benefits, and determine the best course of action for any given situation • Whether you are evaluating the risks associated with using a new piece of equipment in the workplace or evaluating the risks of swimming in an unmarked area, you can use the same decision-making process to determine the best course of action.

12. KEY PRINCIPLES • Four Key Principles • Accept no unnecessary risk. • Make risk decisions at the appropriate level. • Accept risk when the benefits outweigh the costs. • Integrate ORM into CAP doctrine and planning at all levels

13. SIX-STEPPROCESS

14. SIX-STEP PROCESS Step 1: Identify The Hazards This is the foundation of the ORM process. If you don’t know the hazards to mission degradation, personal injury or death, or property damage, then they can’t be controlled. Step 2: Assess The Risks Quantify and qualify the probability and severity of loss from exposure to the hazard.

15. SIX-STEP PROCESS Step 3: Analyze Risk Control Measures Investigate a variety of actions which will either reduce or eliminate the risk. Step 4:Make Control Decisions The appropriate decision maker uses cost versus benefit analysis to choose the best control's.

16. SIX-STEP PROCESS Step 5:Implement Risk Controls Plan for implementation of control's and the commitment of resources to do it. Step 6:Supervise and Review Proactive and personal follow-up on effectiveness of control's.

17. LEVELS OF RISK MANAGEMENT • ORM is designed to help you in your decision-making process. • It's not intended to be a time-consuming effort. • Therefore, use only the amount of risk management necessary for the task.

18. THREE LEVELS OF RISK Level 1: Time Critical Used when there is little time, little complexity, or low risk. Often used during the execution phase of an operation where an unplanned change occurs and must be managed. It's easily applied to off-duty situations.

19. THREE LEVELS OF RISK • Level 2: Deliberate • Used in the majority of workplace applications where experience in a group setting will produce the best results.

20. THREE LEVELS OF RISK Level 3: Strategic Used in high priority or high visibility situations, strategic ORM generally requires use of more thorough hazard identification and risk assessment tools. Generally reserved for the more complex and riskier efforts, as it may be time consuming.

21. CAPR 62-1 • Safe Education and Accident Prevention Training • Units should present a live safety presentation for its members each month. • All CAP members must participate in monthly safety education briefing. • The monthly requirement expires at the end of each month. • Will be maintained in eServices.

22. Another Prospective on ORM

23. CAPR 62-1 • Once Annually – ORM • ALL Members are required to participate in a monthly safety presentation. • Annual Safety Day each year between 1 Jan and 31 Mar • Safety Officer SHALL complete the on line Basic Safety Course and test located on the National CAP website WITHIN 90 DAYS of appointment.

24. Safety and Cadet Activities • Cadet stepped into hole during PT • Cadet fell during PT X 11 • Fainting in formation • Cadet allergic reaction to fire ants • Heat exhaustion/DEHYDRATION • Pre-existing conditions

25. Van Safety

26. VAN SAFETY • Rear end accident • Damaged mirror unknown how occurred • Door damage, caused by wind gust • Antenna ripped off by low clearance

27. BACKINGUP TIPS • Backing is the main culprit in CAP van damage • USE A Spotter • Back to the left (driver’s side). • Use outside mirrors. • (G.O.A.L) Get Out And Look before backing. Check for objects around vehicle before entering and before backing.

28. Aircraft Safety

29. Aircraft Safety • Hangar rash X 7 • Bird strike – Left wing damage • Hard landing – rear tie down sheared off • Tail Strikes X 2 • Blown tire after landing X 8 • Engine loss of power X 3

30. When you look in the • mirror, you see the • person most responsible • for your safety
