140 AFI91-202 5 AUGUST 2011 Attachment 12 AIR FORCE OFF-DUTY HIGH-RISK ACTIVITIES PROGRAM A12.1. Purpose. The Off-duty High Risk Activity (HRA) Program is a recommended management tool for commanders and supervisors. The intent of the program is to ensure participants are familiar with the hazards and injury potential associated with their particular activity. This program is intended for military personnel only. A12.2. High-Risk Activities. These are activities having a higher potential for personal injury due to the level of competition, speed, risk or skills needed and requiring greater agility, stamina and dexterity. Some examples of high-risk activities are flying civil aircraft, hang gliding, skydiving, parasailing, white-water rafting, motorcycle and auto racing, scuba diving, bungee jumping, bronco and bull riding, and extreme sports or any activity identified by the commander. NOTE: MAJCOMs can determine within the command what are considered high risk activities. A12.3. Commander's/Supervisors Responsibility. Commanders or supervisors should ensure all personnel are briefed about the HRA program regardless of their participation in high-risk activities. Each individual should be surveyed and if it is determined they are actively engaged or about to engage in an HRA they should meet one on one with their commander or supervisor. Ideally implemented, a HRA interview is not a briefing. It is for the purpose determining the mental and physical readiness, and situational awareness preparedness of participants before the HRA occurs. The interviewer can discuss with the interviewee the risks of the activities and ascertain some idea of the likelihood that the participant can enjoy the activity without an unacceptable level of risk. Through this process the interviewer can determine such things as level of experience, knowledge of PPE requirements, physical safety aspects of the area of participation, level of supervision or oversight by qualified professional staffs or officials, rules or recommended practices of professional organizations, and so on. It is also a chance to discuss the mental and physical preparedness of the participant. If interviewers determine participants are not adequately trained or are inexperienced, they should encourage participants to seek additional training through a nationally recognized institute before participating in the activity. A12.4. Individual Responsibility. Individuals planning to engage in high-risk activities such as those described in paragraph A12.2, should be encouraged to inform his or her immediate supervisor, and schedule an interview their supervisor, squadron commander or designee. The individual engaging in a high-risk activity is responsible for applying sound risk management practices to avoid jeopardizing life or limbs and their ability to perform their Air Force duties. A12.5. Documentation. AF Form 4391, High-Risk Activities Worksheet, may be used to document the briefing, completed by the squadron commander, individual’s supervisor, safety officer or training manager.
