28 AFI91-202 5 AUGUST 2011 Occupational Injuries and Illness, set requirements and provide standard forms for documenting occupational illnesses and injuries. 1.6.2. The host ground safety staff is the official Air Force office of record for maintaining occupational illness and injury data and maintains consolidated records of injuries and illness meeting mishap Class A, B, C and D criteria. AFSAS will be used to record mishaps involving injury and illnesses to on- and off-duty Air Force military and on-duty civilian personnel to generate separate OSHA Form 300s, Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses. 1.6.3. Safety will record Class A - D occupational injuries and Public Health will record occupational illnesses within seven calendar days of notification using AFSAS. Illnesses require an investigation and final determination by a provider before they are confirmed occupational illnesses. Once confirmed (in AFSAS), the case should be closed and recorded within seven (7) days. The MTF clinical elements will provide injury data to safety on a routine basis as information is discovered. (See paragraph 1.5.17.3-4.) 1.6.4. Installation Ground Safety will maintain consolidated occupational illness and injury logs to satisfy the OSHA requirement for single-point access to occupational illness and injury cases. Tenant units will provide the host safety office a summary of civilian and military occupational injuries/illnesses data by the third workday each month (if not otherwise accessible, e.g., AFSAS).

AFI91-202 5 AUGUST 2011 29 Chapter 2 SAFETY ORGANIZATION 2.1. Safety Staff. All safety disciplines will be consolidated under a single Chief of Safety (COS). Full-time safety personnel must be trained and qualified to manage safety programs, and be able to function at the staff level. Use the Air Force Manpower Standard (AFMS) 106A to determine the size of the safety staff. AFRC units use applicable AFRC Command Manpower Standard or Guides to determine safety staff size. All safety manpower requests or changes will be coordinated with the MAJCOM/SE before submission to the local management engineering team. Manpower variances can be submitted for safety staffs that conduct special programs IAW AFMS 106A. 2.1.1. Chief of Safety. The COS reports directly to the commander (or Director in a civilianled unit) and manages the mishap prevention program for the commander (e.g. installation, center, NAF/MAJCOM commanders). The COS must be qualified in a primary mission weapons system of the unit or if the COS is a civilian position, have a Safety Officer who is qualified in a primary mission weapon system. Civilian COS must meet the qualification standards for Occupational and Health professional stated in the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) classification series, GS-0018 or GS-0803. MAJCOM Chiefs of Safety should have previous safety experience. The AFRC equivalents to the above are AFRC Air Reserve Technician (ART) COS which are 2181-series (pilot)/2183-series (navigator) civilians. 2.1.1.1. Active duty military COS will be either on a current or previous Squadron Commander list or an individual the Wing Commander intends to support for the Squadron Commander list, or a former Squadron Commander. MAJCOM/CV or above has waiver authority for this requirement. 2.1.1.2. Assigned individuals must complete the Chief of Safety Course (WCIP05B) within 90 days of assuming the COS position. Air Force Reserve and ANG COSs may substitute the Air Reserve Component Chief of Safety course (ARCCOS) (WCIP05K) and should make every effort to complete the requirement within 90 days of assuming the COS position. However, in no case will Air Force Reserve and ANG components exceed a 180 day limit. Waiver authority for this requirement is HQ AFSC/SEF. 2.1.1.3. Assigned individuals must be available to serve as COS for a minimum of one year after completion of training. 2.1.2. Career Safety Professional. The Air Force has an enlisted safety career field (Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) 1S0X1) and a civilian safety career field (GS-0018, Occupational Safety and Health Manager or Specialist, GS-0019, Safety Technician GS- 0017, Weapons Safety Specialist, and GS-0803, Safety Engineer). These career safety personnel are assigned to positions authorized by the Unit Manning Document. The safety career field is addressed in AFI 36-2101, Classifying Military Personnel (Officer and Enlisted), and described in the Air Force Enlisted Classification Directory (AFECD). The civilian safety career program is described in AFI 36-601, Air Force Civilian Career Program Management.
