Safety Protocols and Tips:


Five Steps of Risk Management: 1. Identify hazards, 2. Assess Risks,
3. Developing
Controls and Make Decisions, 4. Implement Controls, and 5. Supervise and
Evaluate.

Realize everyone makes errors, but it is unacceptable not to report safety
issues in CAPSIS.

Engage with your team; you can gain knowledge from anyone.

Safety first, always stay up to date with current procedures.

 provides excellent resources for staying healthy and safe.


Safety professionals must always set a positive example and be good role
models!

Training is crucial. If members receive inadequate training, the
consequences can be fatal, injury-related, or the loss of CAP’s valuable
assets, and CAP can be held liable.

Always take breaks; this reduces the risk of fatigue-related accidents
tremendously.

must be completed for activities and events.

The fear of being reprimanded when reporting, let’s eliminate this fear and
encourage others to report.


Notifications - If you discover, observe, or are involved in a Safety
Significant Occurrence (SSO), you must notify the member who is responsible
for the event or activity.

Ensuring everyone’s safety and safeguarding CAP’s assets are our priorities.

Wingmanship - Always be a reliable wingman by providing support and being
trustworthy.



Controls - Safety controls reduce the risk associated with hazards. The CAPF

is a key part of safety to prevent injuries.

Hazards are potential damage, injury, or illness. Examples are physical
hazards, biological hazards such as infectious diseases, and psychosocial
hazards like bullying.

Accurately identifying hazards is the most critical aspect of Risk
Management.

Lend a helping hand, guide other members, and share your expertise.

Leadership: Let’s commit to leading by example, taking responsibility for
our actions, being honest and respectful, and communicating openly with
team members.

Education: Monthly Safety education is vital to understanding the risk
management process and the CAP safety program and using risk management
daily.

Never accuse anyone; every situation is a lesson learned.

Groups and gear: Travel in groups if possible and ensure you have the
appropriate equipment for each activity or mission.

Emergency preparedness ensures safety before, during, and after an
emergency or natural disaster. Examples are non-perishable food, water, a
flashlight, and a first aid kit.

As the fall season begins, this may be your opportunity to try something
new within CAP, such as a high-impact activity or obtaining your pilot’s
certificate. These processes and tips can assist in your CAP career and
personal life. If you’re participating in a new mission or activity, focus
on leaving any oversights that occurred previously and find ways to improve
this new assignment. We encourage you to take a chance at something new and
share your talents and skills. If you don’t take the first step, how will
your talent be discovered? A final thought to consider: if you are alive,
you always have a chance for a Fresh Start and New Challenges no matter
where you are in life.
