Planning something? Was a risk assessment worksheet completed? SBD 1 Safety is here to help

# data[].attributes.body
The recent increase in base activities has resulted in a corresponding rise in preventable mishaps and injuries.

All activities involving DAF personnel require risk management consideration through completion of a Deliberate Risk Assessment Worksheet (DAF Form 4437). Submit the completed form to SBD 1 Safety Office during the planning phase for review and recommendations. This coordination will help streamline the routing process for your respective commander's signature.

What requires a Risk Assessment? Activities include, but are not limited to, Base 5Ks, Squadron Picnics, Sports Tournaments, and any recreational or competitive activities.

Per DAFI 90-802: "Risk is inherent in all missions, operations and activities" and "All personnel are responsible for utilizing RM concepts, tools and techniques."

When in doubt, complete a risk assessment. The SBD 1 Safety Office is here to help make your events both fun and safe. For information, call 556-4392.
