The following items are NOT AUTHORIZED for disposal within the recycle yard or any large waste/recycling container on PSFB: household waste, plant debris, furniture, grills, mattresses and box springs.

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

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.

AtHoc and Peak Alerts for family members

# data[].attributes.body
To better communicate various weather and installation emergency conditions, the AtHoc system allows the service member/sponsor to register their dependent’s contact information to receive text message and phone call notifications. Check out how to register your dependents for notifications in the attached graphic.

Additionally, local Colorado Springs public safety agencies (police, sheriff, fire and emergency services) use a system called Peak Alerts to directly notify members of the community of dangerous conditions and actions that people should take during an emergency.

Peak Alerts notifications are targeted geographically, so agencies can narrow the notification to just those who are affected by the emergency situation. Sign up for Peak Alerts at peakalerts.org.
