Title: Safety Briefing
Post by: ASE002 on May 14, 2014, 02:05:44 AM
I'm a new Assistant Safety Officer looking to see if anyone has an outline/template for a Safety Briefing for a State Organized Fly-In.  Any help would be appreciated.

The standard Mission Safety Officer briefing checklist works fairly well, just adapt it to the mission. Wouldn't this be the job for a MSO anyway?

Good Morning Everyone.

Today's safety Breifing:

1.   Hazard 1
2.  Hazard 2.
3.  Hazard 3.
4.  Hazard 4.
etc and so on

9.  Emergency Services can be notified at XXX-XXXX
10.  Report all safety issues and accidents to your supervisor, the mission safety officer, and the On Scene Commander.

KISS is the best rule.  No templates or formal format needed.

1.  Don't do anything stupid.
2.  Don't let anyone tell you to do something stupid.
3.  Don't let your buddy do anything stupid.
4.  If you see someone doing stupid:
  a.  try to stop them.
  b.  take pictures or video.

Sounds like a brief we got once: "Don't do anything aggressively stupid"

Not unless you're going all the way.

Wait, you're from Iowa? Your wing has a complete manual on briefings. They literally "wrote the book"....

And here is the book: http://www.nmcap.org/safety/Safety%20Officers%20BRIEFING%20BOOK.pdf (http://www.nmcap.org/safety/Safety%20Officers%20BRIEFING%20BOOK.pdf)

From NM no less. Iowa's link is broken....

Quick safety briefings:

"If you do something stupid, it's probably going to hurt.  So, if you're going to be stupid you'd better be tough."

"Don't come running to me when you cut your leg off with that axe."

A second for Lordmonar's post - hazard 1, hazard 2... etc.   plus contact info as described.  For advising no templates, isn't there some resemblance to a template?

I'd add 2 or 3 control measures in the brief, especially if they are event-specific or organization-specific and might not be otherwise known to participants.  For example - CAP's "no hats on the flight line" or such. 

Leave more out than you put in  - yes, KISS.
