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.
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
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.
-Up coming changes to CAP REG 62-1
-Safety Survey (Complete on eServices beteen 1 October and 31 January each fiscal
year).
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
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
ORM
•We hate to beat ORM into the ground but
it is just not being used effectively…
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(F104,
F73, F71, F99).
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.
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
•
•
SIX-STEP PROCESS
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.
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.
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.
LEVELS OF RISK
MANAGEMENT
•ORM is designed to help you in your decisionmaking process.
•It's not intended to be a time-consuming effort.
•Therefore, use only the amount of risk
management necessary for the task.
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.
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.
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.
