The following is a list of downloadable resources you can use to further develop your safety program.

	Bird Strike Running Log
	BASH is an operational risk management (ORM) program. Step One of the ORM process is "Identify the Hazards". In order to do that, you need to know what bird species frequent your airfield. In order to do that, you must identify each and every carcass that is struck or suspected to have been struck at your airfield. If you insure that airfield managers, maintainers, and aircrew members remit each and every bird carcass for identification, you will do an effective job of hazard identification. This download is an example of a bird strike log at an AFRC host base.
	Annual Privilege Briefing
	Privileged safety information refers to information that is exempt by statute or case law from disclosure outside the Air Force safety community. The military safety privilege is judicially recognized and protects the investigative process. The Air Force treats this information confidentially to ensure commanders quickly obtain accurate mishap information thereby promoting safety, combat readiness, and mission accomplishment. This is a briefing that you may use annually during your flight safety meeting to reassert the concept of privilege and the limitations on the use of privileged safety reports.
	New Crewmember Briefing Guide
	The Flight Safety Officer should plan to meet with each and every newly-assigned crewmember to ensure that he or she fully understands the following policies, procedures and concepts as a minimum:
	Request an Extension Format
	If you need to request an extension for a flight mishap report beyond the normal 30 day time limit, here is the format to use.
	Safety Assistance Visit Protocols
	This download explains the protocols for a visit from us for a flight safety staff assistance visit (SAV). You can have a risk-free look at your flight safety programs by an experienced CTI aviation safety programs manager and mishap investigator.
	Pre-construction criteria
	These are the criteria you need to cover for any preconstruction meetings are held that affect your flying activity. From AFI 91-202: The COS attends airfield preconstruction meetings to ensure that the items covered in AFI 91-202, Paragraph 7.9, are met. These include: • The inspection of areas before use • The impact of maintenance and construction on daily flying schedule and emergency situations • Communications between the tower and the contractor and the availability of the contracting agent • Controlling vehicular traffic on the airfield and designating haul routes for contractor trucks • Briefing pilots and crews on updated information • Establishing the minimum distance allowable between equipment and the runway • Marking obstructions, controlling foreign objects, and assigning hearing protection. • Explosive safety criteria • The potential impact of construction on wildlife hazards to airfield operations
	Phase II Risk Assessment matrix
	The 439th Airlift Wing, an AFRC host unit, now employs this risk assessment matrix to determine their Phase II period of increased bird activity. It take into account the Bird Avoidance Model (BAM), the Avian Hazard Avoidance System (AHAS) and general airfield observations to ensure that all aspects of the risk are properly considered.
	Operational Risk Management Risk Assessment
	Operating airplanes as well as other Air Force equipment involves risk. Risk can and must be managed in norder to preserve the nation's most precious human and physical resources. The 439th Airlift Wing Safety Office at westover air Reserve Base, Massachusetts developed this risk assessment for operating their C-5 aircraft. It includes several tiers of risk assessment. At each level, the items that are included include those items that can be controlled at that level. We invite you to benchmark from this superb example of operational risk management!
	Fatigue Post Mission Assessment
	In the ongoing effort to address aircrew fatigue risk, the 315th Safety Office at Charleston AFB, SC, led by Lt Col Debi Rieflin, developed a risk assessment matrix to assess aircrew fatigue after a mission. It is designed to account for acute, circadian and cumulative fatigue. It is designed to help an aircraft commander with an objective view of the crew’s overall fatigue risk at the end of the crew duty day – a time when accurate fatigue self-assessment may be compromised. Aircrews of the 315th AW use this information to identify and mitigate fatigue risk to follow-on missions. Aach aircraft commander completes this ORM worksheet at the end of each flying duty day during an off-station mission.
