Mission First... Safety Always! • Safety is not a box to check or a separate activity that we “finish.” • Rather, safety must be an integral part of how we operate in every activity.
Safety means…. • Paying attention • Thinking clearly • Doing the “right thing”
Safety & Risk Management Process • PERCEIVE hazards • PROCESS risk level • PERFORM risk management
STEP ONE: PERCEIVE hazards related to: PEOPLE involved in the event AUTO condition ENVIRONMENT for activity or event EXTERNAL PRESSURES on participants
STEP TWO: for each hazard, PROCESS risk by considering: CONSEQUENCES of each hazard ALTERNATIVES REALITY (no wishful thinking allowed!) EXTERNAL PRESSURES involved
STEP THREE: for each risk, PERFORM risk management: TRANSFER if appropriate ELIMINATE hazards whenever possible ACCEPT when benefits > consequences MITIGATE hazards and associated risk
Vehicle Safety Example: Activity for Cadets • Driver properly trained, qualified? • Driver rested and alert? • Defensive driving course(s) taken? • Route reviewed? • Passengers briefed? • Regular / frequent breaks planned? PEOPLE
Vehicle Safety Example: Activity for Cadets • Vehicle in good working order? • Inspections completed? • Fuel / oil levels checked? • Necessary equipment in place? • Headlights on at all times • Amber lights • Deer whistles • Back-up guide when moving in reverse • First-aid kit appropriate for vehicle & activity • Passengers properly loaded? • Cargo properly loaded & secured?

Vehicle Safety Example: Activity for Cadets • Safety veto policy* in place? • Safety veto policy briefed? • External pressures identified/briefed? • “Antidotes” to pressures briefed? • FRO system for dispatch observed? • Situational awareness maintained? EXTERNALPRESSURES *Any CAP member must be able to make a “safety veto” on any activity at any time, without fear of ridicule or reprisal from any other member.
Vehicle Safety Example: Audience participation • Think of an activity or event familiar to you. • What are the hazards arising from the People involved, the Activity itself, the enVironment for the event, and the External pressures? • For each hazard, think of Consequences, Alternatives, Reality, External pressures. • What can you do to Transfer, Eliminate, Accept, or Mitigate the risk to safety?
