The USDA Forest Service Aviation Safety and Management Strategy reflects our commitment to safety as a core organizational value and invests in a strategy that is dependent upon a strong aviation safety culture. The Plan establishes a System Safety approach to ensure that personnel, property, and the public are protected from the risk of aircraft mishaps. Our stated philosophy is that all accidents are preventable. The ultimate goal of the Forest Service's Aviation Safety Program is Zero Mishaps, but that alone does not define the safety program. Safety is transforming the severity and likelihood of risk, which is inherent in all human activity, to lower, acceptable levels. Safety is freedom from those conditions that can cause death, injury, occupational illness, or damage to or loss of equipment or property, or damage to the environment. System Safety is a group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements forming a complex whole (USFS Aviation is a complex whole). Using analytical techniques to identify system weaknesses and conditions that if left unchanged could lead to unwanted events. Once identified, these potential accidents/incidents must be communicated to stakeholders with adequate counter measures put in place to prevent an accident. There are six elements forming the core of the Forest Service National Safety and Health program that provide umbrella policy and are addressed by this aviation safety plan, as follows: 1. Program Management (ASMPP Chapters 3 and 6); 2. Safety Training and Education (ASMPP Chapter 5.1); 3. Safety and Health Promotions (ASMPP Chapter 4.5); 4. Recordkeeping and Accident Investigation (ASMPP Chapters 4.2 & 4.3); 5. Inspections (ASMPP Chapter 4.6c); and 6. Program Analysis and Evaluation (ASMPP Chapter 4.6 A & B). |
