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.

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 month of October
  to focus on improving safety knowledge and
  attitudes during the new fiscal year.
• -Significant overall increase in mishaps.

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.

Operational Risk Management (ORM) Fundamentals
9
ORM

• We hate to beat ORM into the ground but it is
  just not being used effectively

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 cant quite put
  your finger on?
• Ensure you read this LETTER from the national
  commander for increased safety for cadet
  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-STEP PROCESS
14
SIX-STEP PROCESS
Step 1 Identify the Hazard A hazard is any
real or potential condition that can cause
mission degradation injury, illness, or death to
personnel or damage or loss of equipment or
property. Step 2 Assess the Risk 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
levels 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

• levels 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
levels 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.
