5. CIVIL AIR PATROL National Headquarters, Maxwell AFB AL 36112-5572 4-2008 PPT 217-S.5 CAP SENIOR SAFETY COURSE STATEMENT OF WORK  The CAP Safety program is modeled after the Air Force program delineated in the 91 series of Air Force Instructions (AFI)  The CAPR 62 series defines the scope and limitations of the CAP Safety program. It also clearly defines the two distinct duties that safety officers perform for CAP and CAP commanders:  Safety Education  Mishap Prevention

6. CIVIL AIR PATROL National Headquarters, Maxwell AFB AL 36112-5572 4-2008 PPT 217-S.6 CAP SENIOR SAFETY COURSE  Do safety programs really make a difference? Absolutely!  The best Safety programs involve every level of the organization, instilling a safety culture that reduces accidents for members and improves the overall organization  When Safety is part of the organization and its way of life, everyone wins

7. CIVIL AIR PATROL National Headquarters, Maxwell AFB AL 36112-5572 4-2008 PPT 217-S.7 CAP SENIOR SAFETY COURSE  What is ORM?  A methodical, 6-step process to manage inherent risk.  Why ORM?  The ORM process allows systematic risk decision- making that manages risk as part of the whole operation, reduces mishaps and improves the cost benefit ratio by lowering risk. ORM

8. CIVIL AIR PATROL National Headquarters, Maxwell AFB AL 36112-5572 4-2008 PPT 217-S.8 CAP SENIOR SAFETY COURSE  How do you do it?  Step by step.  Here's the process: ORM

9. CIVIL AIR PATROL National Headquarters, Maxwell AFB AL 36112-5572 4-2008 PPT 217-S.9 CAP SENIOR SAFETY COURSE  Here's the process:  1. Identify the hazards: A hazard is simply a condition that could cause loss. Focus on what is at risk and list potential hazards. ORM

10. CIVIL AIR PATROL National Headquarters, Maxwell AFB AL 36112-5572 4-2008 PPT 217-S.10 CAP SENIOR SAFETY COURSE  Here's the process:  2. Assess the risks: Here, we examine each hazard and determine the exposure, severity and the mishap probability associated with our activity. Prioritize the hazards into levels of risk and work on the worst one first. ORM

11. CIVIL AIR PATROL National Headquarters, Maxwell AFB AL 36112-5572 4-2008 PPT 217-S.11 CAP SENIOR SAFETY COURSE  Here's the process:  3. Analyze risk control measures: Determine which risks can be eliminated, reduced or controlled in some manner. Controls usually cost something in terms of an investment of time or money. Prioritize these control measures to get the most "bang for your buck". ORM

12. CIVIL AIR PATROL National Headquarters, Maxwell AFB AL 36112-5572 4-2008 PPT 217-S.12 CAP SENIOR SAFETY COURSE  Here's the process:  4. Make control decisions: First, select the best possible risk controls. Decide if those controls will assure that the benefits will outweigh the costs. –This process should involve the “right person” making the decision at the right time, based on the right inputs. –Don't think that just because risk is present, you should avoid the activity. –Risk is inherent in everything we do, how we control it determines the outcome. ORM

13. CIVIL AIR PATROL National Headquarters, Maxwell AFB AL 36112-5572 4-2008 PPT 217-S.13 CAP SENIOR SAFETY COURSE  Here's the process:  4. Make control decisions: Who's the right person? –Whoever has the best grasp of the risk and the opportunity issues. –Organizational leaders should push the average risk decision down the chain of command over time because the detail and understanding of the decision implications increases the closer you get to the principle participants of an activity. ORM

14. CIVIL AIR PATROL National Headquarters, Maxwell AFB AL 36112-5572 4-2008 PPT 217-S.14 CAP SENIOR SAFETY COURSE  Here's the process:  5. Risk control implementation: The key here is for the risk controls to truly be integrated within the plans, processes and operations with which they are associated. Without integration, it won't be nearly as effective. For controls to be successful, implementation must be clear to everyone, there must be accountability, and leadership must provide support. ORM

15. CIVIL AIR PATROL National Headquarters, Maxwell AFB AL 36112-5572 4-2008 PPT 217-S.15 CAP SENIOR SAFETY COURSE  Here's the process:  6. Supervise and review: When risk controls are properly integrated, the supervision of them is just like any other leadership action -- this is the prime reason for the emphasis on completely integrating the risk controls. Review is the systematic measurement of whether or not the benefit was worth the cost. This is the management aspect of ORM. ORM

16. CIVIL AIR PATROL National Headquarters, Maxwell AFB AL 36112-5572 4-2008 PPT 217-S.16 CAP SENIOR SAFETY COURSE  Here's the process:  Don't gamble with risk –  Manage it decisively with ORM. ORM

37. CIVIL AIR PATROL National Headquarters, Maxwell AFB AL 36112-5572 4-2008 PPT 217-S.37 CAP SENIOR SAFETY COURSE  Tires should be inspected for:  Proper size and rating – see vehicle manufacturer’s placard located on driver’s door edge, doorpost, glove- box door, or inside the trunk lid  Proper air pressure – see vehicle manufacturer’s placard  Treadwear – see treadwear guidance found in attachment 5 of CAPR 77-1. In general tread should be greater than 1/16 inch deep and NOT worn down to the built-in “tread wear” indicator, which normally appears as a raised rubber bar in the tread.

40. CIVIL AIR PATROL National Headquarters, Maxwell AFB AL 36112-5572 4-2008 PPT 217-S.40 CAP SENIOR SAFETY COURSE  Tires must be inflated to the pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer  The pressure printed on the tires is the maximum allowable, not the best pressure for the particular vehicle  Under-inflated tires (low tire pressure) is one of the greatest factors in causing a “rollover”  Hydroplaning risks increase exponentially with low tire pressures. Hydroplaning occurs at speeds of about 9 times the square root of the tire pressure  At 25 PSI, hydroplaning occurs at (9 x 5) = 45 mph  At 81 PSI, hydroplaning occurs at (9 x 9) = 81 mph

41. CIVIL AIR PATROL National Headquarters, Maxwell AFB AL 36112-5572 4-2008 PPT 217-S.41 CAP SENIOR SAFETY COURSE  CAPR 77-1 & CAPF 73 require checking tires once per month (However, daily is better)  Air pressure in the tires should be checked before use when the tires are relatively “cold” (been driven less than 1 mile in last 3 hours).  Air pressure in tires usually increases by approximately 4 psi as the tires are used for driving and become “warm”  If vehicle has already been driven, tires need 3 hours to cool before checking tire pressure

42. CIVIL AIR PATROL National Headquarters, Maxwell AFB AL 36112-5572 4-2008 PPT 217-S.42 CAP SENIOR SAFETY COURSE  Stenciling the vehicle manufacturer’s suggested tire pressure on the wheel hub or on the fender above the tire is recommended
