2 2 8FWI DECEMBER 2012 Subsequent sections are now arranged by safety discipline (e.g., ground, flight, and weapons safety) instead of by activity. The document doubled in size and now includes more specific details and responsibilities of safety personnel. 1. General Safety: Ground Safety Flight Safety Weapons Safety Attachment 1 GLOSSARY OF REFERENCES AND SUPPORTING INFORMATION 15 Attachment 2 SPOT INSPECTION LOG General Safety: 1.1. Objectives and Mission: Objective: The primary objective of the safety program is to help commanders preserve personnel, equipment, and resources while maintaining combat readiness and proficiency so that the Wolf Pack can Take the Fight North! at a moment s notice Mission: The primary mission of the safety program is to provide focused, worldclass risk management and safety education, training, analysis, and advertising in order to create a safety-conscious culture among Airmen that emphasizes risk identification, risk assessment, risk acceptance at the appropriate level in the time allowed, and risk mitigation in order to accomplish the mission with minimal losses and at minimal cost. When mishaps do occur, 8 FW Safety will quickly and accurately determine errors and lessons-learned so that others can avoid making the same mistakes Program Implementation: The Chief of Safety (8 FW/SE) will provide the management and technical assistance necessary to ensure all operations conducted by 8 FW activities are carried out safely without unnecessary risk to life and property. 8 FW/SE will provide overall surveillance for implementation of the safety program, which includes mishap investigation and reporting, safety education and training, safety inspections, hazard reporting, and dissemination of mishap prevention information Commanders: For the purpose of this instruction, commanders are those individuals designated as commanders or directors of wing staff activities Commanders and directors of 8 FW staff activities will ensure compliance with AFI , Mishap Prevention Program, as supplemented. This instruction outlines specific guidance applicable to the 8th Fighter Wing and, when combined with higher-headquarter guidance, establishes the minimum safety requirements for all personnel using 8 FW facilities or equipment. Command leadership is an essential ingredient in establishing a robust mishap prevention program. Subordinates must clearly understand the commander s policy and emphasis placed on safety.

3 8FWI DECEMBER Commanders of partner units will establish procedures, as required, to meet parent command directives and safety objectives as specified in current host-tenant agreements (AFI , Support Agreement Procedures). Partner Units include 25 Transportation Battalion, AFOSI, AAFES, 1 st BN, 2D ADA, Army Corps of Engineers, DECA, and CATO Supervisors: Supervisors will ensure their subordinates receive and fully understand mishap prevention information. Supervisors should continually assess the behavior of personnel and should be aware of any changes in attitudes which could lead to a potential mishap. Supervisors will ensure personnel are fully qualified to complete assigned tasks; facilities are properly maintained; safety directives are adhered to; and hazards are promptly identified, reported, and corrected Inspections: Annual Inspections: 8 FW/SE will publish an annual inspection schedule no later than 15 September for the upcoming FY. Specific dates will be coordinated with unit commanders at least 30 days prior to the planned inspection. As applicable, 8 FW/SE will simultaneously conduct flight, ground, and weapon safety inspection in order to minimize the impact on units Inspection Finding Process: FW/SE staff will write formal inspection reports, including findings and recommendations, and provide the final reports to the units within 15 calendar days after the inspection. 8 FW/SE will provide an out-brief to commanders within three days of completing the inspection. Unit Safety Representatives/Additional Duty Weapons Safety Representatives (USR/ADWSR) are responsible for both initial and follow-up actions for all findings not closed within 30 days of the inspection outbrief. The unit commander must endorse initial responses for annual inspections. A work order number does not justify closure of an open discrepancy. Completion of applicable work orders will close the finding. The unit will provide wing safety with a follow-up status every 30 days until the finding is closed. Wing safety will conduct follow-up inspections once the unit closes an item Spot Inspections: Spot inspections are no-notice observations to assess the day-to-day safety and health of an organization, work center, facility, or operation Perform spot inspections as required in accordance with (IAW) AFI Ensure identified high interest items are inspected monthly IAW 8 FW/SE High Interest Item and Spot Inspection MFR. Keep at least a one-year history of spot inspection logs in program books. Attachment 2 of this publication meets all requirements for spot inspection documentation High Interest Items: Each safety discipline will identify high interest items based on trends or problem areas noted during annual and spot inspections. Each year, a memorandum identifying the 8 FW/SE high interest items for each quarter will be signed by the Chief of Safety and forwarded to all units Mishap Reporting Procedures:

4 4 8FWI DECEMBER A mishap is an unplanned occurrence, or series of occurrences, that results in damage or injury and meets Class A, B, C, D, or E event reporting criteria IAW AFI Damage or injury includes: damage to DoD property (excluding normal wear-andtear or aging); occupational illness to DoD military or civilian personnel; injury to DoD military personnel on- or off-duty; injury to on-duty DoD civilian personnel; damage to public or private property, or injury or illness to non-dod personnel caused by Air Force operations Unit commanders, USRs, ADWSRs, and squadron assigned flight safety officers (SAFSOs) are responsible for implementing and ensuring compliance with the 8 FW/SE mishap reporting procedures as outlined in the 8 FW USR Guide All mishaps receive a preliminary internal investigation. Immediate notification of the mishap is critical. Mishap sites contain valuable information necessary for accurate investigation and the formulation of corrective actions. The first-line supervisor of the individual involved in the mishap will conduct the initial investigation and document it on PACAF Form 161, Ground Mishap Report Worksheet. For Air Force motor vehicle mishaps, the unit Vehicle Control Officer/Noncommissioned Officer (VCO), with the assistance of the USR, will conduct the initial investigation. The investigator will forward the completed PACAF Form 161 through the USR and commander to wing safety within five days of the mishap occurrence. Civilian personnel who are injured on the job will notify supervisors immediately. Supervisors will complete a CA-1, Federal Employee s Notice of Traumatic Injury and Claim for Continuation of Pay Compensation and CA-16, Authorization for Examination and/or Treatment, for all civilian on-duty injuries in addition to the PACAF Form 161. All PACAF Forms 161 will be sent to the wing safety office electronically or hand carried. Wing safety will determine the extent of the investigation and reporting criteria once notified Mishap Reporting Support: The 8th Medical Group (MDG) will provide AF Form 1488, Daily Log Patients Treated for Injuries, to wing safety weekly The 8th Security Forces Squadron (SFS) will provide copies of applicable blotter entries from AF Form 1315, Accident Report, that involve injury or death resulting from a mishap, motor vehicle mishap (GMV/PMV), property damage as a result of a mishap, and any other mishaps as deemed appropriate by SFS.

General: Guidelines for flight safety are outlined in AFI , US Air Force Mishap Prevention Program. The 8 FW/SE will appoint a flight safety officer (FSO) and flight safety NCO (FSNCO). The 8 FW Flight Safety Officer manages the flight safety program for the wing commander. IAW AFI , the 80 th Fighter Squadron (FS) and 35 th FS will each have a squadron flight safety program. Although the squadron flight safety program belongs to the squadron commander, the squadron flight safety positions and activities specified in this section represent an extension of the wing flight safety program Wing Flight Safety FSO/FSNCO Key Duties: The FSO and FSNCO are responsible for annual assessments of all flight safety programs and will monitor flight-related facilities and operations as part of a continuous quality-improvement program IAW AFI , as

10 10 8FWI DECEMBER 2012 supplemented by PACAF. Wing flight safety provides guidance and oversight on the following flight safety programs: Midair Collision Avoidance (MACA) Program: The FSO works closely with squadron-assigned flight safety officers (SAFSOs) and other interested parties to establish a comprehensive MACA program. This program is designed to disseminate information on wing flight activities in an effort to foster local area understanding and reduce the potential for midair collisions. A MACA guide is published annually and coordinated by the 8 FW and 51 FW for distribution to the Korean Peninsula Bird Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH) Program: The BASH program minimizes the potential for bird strikes and wildlife hazards to aircraft. The 8 th FW Bird Hazard Working Group (BHWG) provides a forum to discuss prevention plans and mishap trends. The Vice Wing Commander chairs the BHWG meeting to discuss and implement methods to minimize bird and wildlife hazards to aircraft. Techniques include environmental controls, bird dispersal, and operational procedure changes. The 8 FW OPlan , BASH Plan, contains taskings for base agencies and procedures for aircrew Squadron Flight Safety: FS/CC and 35 FS/CC will each appoint a SAFSO and additional-duty flight safety officer (ADFSO) The SAFSO reports directly to the squadron commander. It is highly desirable the SAFSO is a qualified instructor pilot. In addition to managing the squadron flight safety program, these individuals will be responsible for carrying out normal wing safety duties. SAFSOs will support the wing flight safety program through participation in wing taskings, activities, and regular interface with the wing FSO and FSNCO. During periods of wing FSO manning shortages, it may be necessary for the SAFSO to fill-in at wing safety The ADFSO will assist in managing the unit s internal safety program. The ADFSO should perform an equitable portion of the squadron s flight safety duties since the SAFSO assists the wing FSO with the wing program The following factors should be considered when selecting a SAFSO: Individual's job experience and knowledge of the unit's operations Present workload of the individual. SAFSOs should not be assigned other duties that would detract from their abilities to manage the unit mishap prevention program Completion of collateral training including mishap reporting and investigating, hazard reporting and abatement, inspection training, and job safety training requirements Duty as a SAFSO, on occasion, may restrict an individual s scheduling flexibility SAFSOs and ADFSOs should contact wing safety for required training once appointed.

11 8FWI DECEMBER Administer the unit safety program using AFI , as supplemented by PACAF and this instruction, as a guide and management tool Forward all flight safety matters of significance, which cannot be corrected at the unit level, to 8 FW/SE through the unit commander Document all safety briefs Document all actions pertaining to safety reports and safety matters discussed with squadron members Document spot inspections. Attachment 2 of this publication meets all requirements for spot inspection documentation. Ensure appropriate follow-up actions are conducted and documented every 30 days until findings are closed Maintain a file of applicable safety subjects discussed or briefed with unit supervisors. This can include current safety "items of interest" identified to the squadron commander, wing FSO, or maintenance. Document when outside agencies, such as ATC or the flight surgeon, brief pilots at squadron flight safety meetings. Report any unusual occurrences or incidents to flight safety. Ensure the appropriate safety form is completed to preserve information. Be familiar with and brief local area hazards, environmental hazards, and seasonal hazards Brief local area hazards to visiting units Assist wing safety with inspections as requested and conduct unit self-inspections as required Each squadron will perform 8 FW Flight Safety Duty Officer duties once per week. 8 FW/SEF creates the schedule Ensure squadron safety reports are submitted to 8 FW/SEF Provide nominations for safety awards IAW AFI , as supplemented, and this instruction Ensure a current file of applicable safety directives is available in the unit. Electronic access is acceptable In the event of a Class A mishap, help the squadron commander and 8 FW/SEF complete required checklists contained in the 8 FW Mishap Response Plan or as directed by 8 FW/SE Establish, conduct, and document a safety indoctrination program for new aircrew that includes ground and flight safety topics The SAFSO and ADFSO will receive local training from the wing FSO within 30 days of appointment. It is highly desirable for SAFSOs to be a graduate of the USAF AMIC/ASPM Course. The primary job of the SAFSO is to manage the squadron commander's flight safety program and assist 8 FW/SEF as required The SAFSO, along with the ADFSO, will disseminate flight safety information to unit aircrew through squadron meetings, read files, and the use of safety bulletin boards. This information includes:

12 12 8FWI DECEMBER Selected mishap reports Safety Cross tell Safety information that applies to the unit SAFSOs may, when requested by 8 FW/SE, investigate and report mishaps and flight hazards (Class C, Class E, HAPs, HATRs, etc.). The SAFSO forwards reports to 8 FW/SE for review. 8 FW/SE will complete the final approval process and finalize the Air Force Safety Automated System (AFSAS) message SAFSOs and ADFSOs must create and maintain a strong relationship with maintenance. The SAFSO should get to know flight line maintenance personnel and become knowledgeable of maintenance duties and responsibilities. Be aware of trends in unit aircraft and know what problems confront the maintainers High interest items, policies, procedures, and general flight safety topics will be discussed in an open forum. SAFSOs and ADFSOs may be asked to contribute to the wing's quarterly flight safety meeting. Commanders should ensure maximum attendance by all aircrew at these meetings. Squadrons are encouraged to have their own flight safety meetings or, at a minimum, incorporate flight safety into commander's calls or other squadron meetings. Minutes from the quarterly flight safety meeting will be forwarded to the squadron SAFSO for review by aircrew unable to attend quarterly meetings and placed in the safety read file. 4.

A fatality or permanent total disability due to injury or occupational illness. A permanent total disability results from an injury or occupational illness whenever competent medical authority determines the injured person can no longer follow any gainful occupation (e.g., individual is medically discharged, retired, or separated), or

19 8FWI DECEMBER competent medical authority determines the injured person is in a non medically induced coma (comatose). The loss of uses of both hands, both feet, both eyes, and any combination of two of these body parts, in a single mishap is also a permanent total disability. Destruction of an aircraft. Class B Mishap A mishap resulting in one or more of the following: Reportable damage of $500,000 or more, but less than $2,000,000. Inpatient hospitalizations of three or more personnel involved in a single mishap. A permanent partial is disability. A permanent partial disability is an injury or occupational illness which, in the opinion of competent medical authority, results in permanent impairment through loss of use of any part of the body. The loss of teeth, fingernails, toenails, or the tips of toes are not considered permanent partial disabilities. Repairable inguinal hernia, disfigurement, or sprains and strains that do not cause permanent limitation of motion are also not considered permanent partial disabilities. Class C Mishap A mishap resulting in one or more of the following: Reportable damage of $50,000 or more, but less than $500,000. An injury resulting in a lost workday case involving eight hours or more away from work beyond the day or shift on which it occurred or an occupational illness that causes loss of time from work at any time. For military personnel do not count the day of injury or the day returned to duty. Class D Mishap Any mishap resulting in total cost of property damage is $20,000 or more, but less than $50,000; or a recordable injury or illness not otherwise classified as a Class A, B, or C mishap. These are cases where, because of injury or occupational illness, the employee only works partial days, has restricted duties or was transferred to another job, required medical treatment greater than first aid, or experienced loss of consciousness. In addition, a significant injury (e.g. fractured/cracked bone, punctured eardrum) or occupational illness (e.g. occupational cancer (mesothelioma), chronic irreversible disease (beryllium disease)) diagnosed by a physician or other licensed health care professional must be reported even if it does not result in death, days away from work, restricted work, job transfer, medical treatment greater than first aid, or loss of consciousness. Clear Zone (CZ) The area designated around any potential explosion site that depicts the distance to which blast overpressure and/or hazardous fragments are expected to affect exposed sites. Compensatory Actions The measures taken to mitigate potential personnel injury and or equipment as the result of an unintended explosion. These management actions compensate for violations to criteria that establish safe separation distances, distances needed to separate valuable resources from ammunition and explosives. For purposes of this instruction, compensatory actions, management actions, and compensatory measures are interchangeable terms. DULL SWORD A reporting flag-word identifying a nuclear weapon safety deficiency. This includes mishaps not falling into the accident or incident categories, but meeting any of the criteria in paragraph of AFMAN Electro-Explosive Device (EED) An explosive or pyrotechnic component that initiates an explosive, burning, electrical, or mechanical train and is activated by the application of electrical energy.

20 20 8FWI DECEMBER 2012 Expanded-State For the purpose of this instruction, expanded-state refers to those periods when explosives quantities needed to support contingency or combat operations exceed those limits established by approved steady-state explosive site plans (ESP). Exposed Site (ES) Any facility exposed to any potential explosion site. Exposed sites may be explosive (e.g. a licensed facility or munitions storage magazine) or non-explosive (e.g. flightline kitchen or support building). Largest Single Round Number (LSRN) Equal to the largest single round NEWQD Hazard Class/Division (HC/D) item present. Lost Time Injury When a competent medical authority specifically orders time off from work exceeding eight continuous hours beginning with the injured person s next regularly scheduled shift. Maximum Credible Event (MCE) The predicted maximum NEW that would simultaneously be involved in a single detonation. All 1.2 items will have an assigned MCE that is listed in a separate data field in the JHCS database. An item with an MCE of 75 lbs. means that a mass detonation of 75 lbs. NEW can be expected. Military Ammunition and Explosives All national stock listed ammunition, demolition material, solid rocket motors, cartridges, pyrotechnics, mines, bombs, grenades, warheads of all types, explosive elements of ejection and aircrew egress systems, air-launched missiles, explosive components of missile and space systems, and assembled kits and devices containing explosive material. Net Explosive Weight (NEW) The amount of explosive contained in a particular item as listed in the Joint Hazard Classification System (JHCS). Net Explosives Weight for Quantity Distance (NEWQD) The total quantity of High explosive equivalency in a particular item or round to be used when applying quantity-distance (Q-D) criteria or other standards. The NEWQD is equal to the NEW unless hazard classification testing has shown that a lower weight is appropriate for Q-D purposes. No Lost Time When an injured person seeks professional medical attention and completes at least a portion of their regularly scheduled shift. On Duty Injury These mishaps occur during normal work activities. Going to the gym to play sports or workout during lunch is not considered normal work activity. Mandatory formations for the purpose of physical training are considered on-duty. Off Duty Injury These apply only to military personnel and relate to those injuries that do not meet the on-duty criteria. Potential Explosion Site (PES) Any facility authorized to contain ammunition and explosives. Authorization is obtained through an approved explosive site plan, an approved explosive facility license (AF IMT 2047), or an approved operational risk assessment. Steady-State For the purpose of this instruction, steady-state refers to day-to-day operations when explosive quantities needed to support training sorties and increased readiness are equal to or less than those limits established by approved steady-state explosive site plans.
