Reactive Safety Management Reactive style of management never
addresses the reasons of why mistakes are made Humans will make
mistakes, seldom intentionally Must dig down and find out why a
particular type of error keeps popping up It takes more time, and
requires a good deal of patience, it is the best way to manage
safety.
Slide 7
Avoiding Car Fires Due To Phone Use Not all vehicles outlets
are live when the ignition is off, but some ARE If yours stays ON
it can be REALLY scary. A member left an I Phone charger/docking
station plugged into the vans outlet. Charger over heated and
started a fire, the van was not drivable

What ARE WE Doing Right? About 600 near miss events or every
major event. Your expertise, which is often under reported and
under appreciated, often makes the difference. Here are a couple
examples: N.C. crew operating a C172 landed at an offsite airport
for refueling. During pre-departure magneto check, one magneto did
not function correctly and the crew could not get it to burn off.
Sortie #2 was canceled and ground transportation was arranged. N.J.
van, loaded with cadets, was rushed by a herd of four deer. Diver
maintained control, used appropriate speed for conditions. Results:
zero injuries

the secondary contact given to the FAA be the Flight Release
officer Have cadets wear yellow reflective PT Belts when doing PT @
night Install color coded tire pressure caps on CAP Vans and
vehicles. They show (Green) when "at" the desired PSI, Yellow when
high and Red when the tire PSI is too low. Cost $10 for a set of
four. use the buddy system when going anywhere on a cap activity
away from the "group Use the buddy system when going anywhere on a
cap activity away from the "group Keep some clothes, shoes and a
flashlight EXACTLY where you know where they are when you go to
bed. Take it easy when shoveling snow. Because if you are not in
good shape physically, you may have a heart attack.
