Introduction

Safely directing complex organizations, like Civil Air Patrol, requires an understanding of the program requirements and

a safety mindset that is acquired by prior planning, ORM, and constant situational awareness. This is a key function of the corporate official in the wing. Safety requires vigilance to

ensure the proper education and prevention oversight reaches all of our members in appropriate and relevant

methods. When our organization fails to be compliant, the wing commander is a key individual in supporting

investigations. A wing commander’s responsibility is to ensure subordinate commanders’ recommendations for

remedial training are accomplished.

Safety Should Be

A positive environment without any obstacles for disclosure and discussion

Foster a willingness to share and learn Safety should be proactive not reactive Should be supported at all levels of leadership and

integrated in all CAP programs Safety should be easy to navigate

If you think it, it can be done.

Remember

The Leader You See In The Mirror Each Morning.

The answer is before you.

Who can change the Safety Culture of CAP?

Where is the next mishap, incident, accident going to occur?
