Sentinel Heard of SAREX? What about SAFEX?

• We all know that the CAP SAREX is a call to
  practice skills
• We practice because we want to be able to respond
  appropriately in an emergency
• Why not incorporate a mishap scenario into your
  next SAREX
• Reviews procedures
• MN Sup to CAPR 62-2, contact NOC, time limits,
  information to collected, on-line form 78
• Identifies limitations

Sentinel Update on Applications for CAP/SE
Support Staff

• Call for applications to serve on the volunteer
  support staff for the National Safety Officer is
  forthcoming
• Do not start sending in resumes or letters of
  interest.
• Expect announcements for flight safety,
  transportation safety, and personal safety, i.e.
  bodily injury, specialists to assist the National
  Safety Officer.
• They will let us know when they are ready for
  applications.

10
Sentinel Safety Management Systems (SMS)

• SMS is a heavy reliance on data that is, in turn,
  used to help guide senior leader decisions across
  the enterprise
• Expect more emphasis on data collection and
  relevant analysis to help reduce risk and support
  mission success
• SMS is a quality management approach to
  controlling risk (FAA has an advisory circular
  that covers SMS)

11
The four pillars of safety management!

• The SMS is a management standard that is
  organized around four basic tenets of safety
  program management
• Policy CAP is a military-style organization
  and the Air Forces auxiliary. We have plenty of
  policies and sometimes we just need to look
  around, remind ourselves of existing guidance,
  and make sure we comply!
• Safety Risk Management ORM fits the bill and
  thats all well say about that for right now.
• Safety Assurance This is the one piece that
  CAP needs to work on most, and we will construct
  that pillar in the coming months.
• Safety Promotion This is not just a slogan or
  a campaign, but a commitment to a Core Value
  (like Excellence and Integrity). Why reinvent the
  wheel when its sitting out in the front yard
  already?

12
Sentinel Psychological Safety

• What is psychological safety and psychological
  mishap prevention?
• Learn as much as you can about Critical Incident
  Stress Management.
• Learn how to recognize signs of distress and
  where to turn for help.
• For more information visit www.cism.cap.gov

Sentinel How to Practice Reporting Mishaps

• Simulating the submission of a mishap report
• Under no circumstances should your simulation
  include entering data into the on-line safety
  system
• Use a printed form 78 from the Safety Forms web
  page in e-Services
• If making the actual contacts listed in the MN
  Wing Supplement, ensure everyone understands it
  is an exercise
