Summer safety begins with risk management

Increased travel and leisure activities that go hand-in-hand with the summer months require increased KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. — Increased travel
emphasis on risk management, said Air Force Chief of Ground Safety, Bill Parsons. and leisure activities go hand in hand with the summer months,
and require increased emphasis on risk management, said Bill
Parsons, the Air Force chief of ground safety

While Airmen and their families make the most of recreational
opportunities during the summer, the period between Memo-
rial Day and Labor Day weekends is the most important time to
incorporate risk management in off-duty leisure activities. This
is accomplished by using the same safety processes as those used
on duty, Parsons said.

“Unfortunately, that same period ended last year with 17 fatali-
ties,” Parsons said. “We need every Airman to commit to making
that number zero this year, and we do that by using the same risk
management skills we apply on the job to ensure everyone returns
safely at summer’s end and ready to accomplish the mission. Sum-
mer safety is the extension of our ‘Quest for Zero’ mishaps.”

Whether traveling, participating in water activities, sporting
events or cookouts, Airmen should identify, assess and miti-
gate all risks to include: trip planning that ensures enough rest
and preparation for contingencies, no alcohol while driving or
participating in recreational activities, and use of appropriate
protective gear in all activities.

“Most mishaps are preventable,” Parsons said, “and mishap
prevention requires doing the right thing. Sometimes the right
thing is as simple as stepping up and stepping in when we see
something that doesn’t look right. That alone can avert a poten-
tial disaster.”
