MEMORANDUM FOR A1 - Air Force E-Publishing

AFI91-202 5 AUGUST 2011 43
3.5.3.4. A brief description of the areas, equipment or processes/procedures reviewed as
well as observations (may also include positive findings), hazards or unsafe work
practices. When qualified safety personnel identify hazards, assign RACs as applicable.
3.5.3.5. Causes of deficiencies and hazards, as noted.
3.5.3.6. Recommendations for corrective action.
3.5.3.7. Name and phone number of responsible person.
3.5.3.8. Ensure appropriate follow-up actions (every 30 days) are conducted and
documented until findings are closed.
3.6. High Interest Areas. High interest areas are those areas that have the greatest risk to life or
property damage, have experienced repeated mishaps or in the judgment of the safety office
require added monitoring. They can also be work areas or operations that need additional
attention or inspections because of increased mishap potential due to the nature of the work
performed, physical conditions, or type of materials handled. High interest areas, if identified,
will be designated by the Chief of Safety in writing. Inspections will be accomplished and
documented at least monthly.
3.7. Administrative Areas. Collateral-duty safety personnel who are task-qualified may
conduct inspections of these areas when the safety staff determines the mishap potential is
minimal. The base safety staff develops specific provisions for meeting inspection requirements
(subject to approval by the safety directorate) and conducts over the shoulder assessments of the
collateral-duty personnel to ensure that their safety inspections are sound.
3.8. Special and Seasonal Inspections. Inspections are conducted to ensure work and
recreational environments are safe and healthy for base personnel.
3.8.1. Special inspections include seasonal, targeted mishap preventive activities, special
events and mission readiness operations/exercises. Special inspections will be conducted of
installation child development centers, approved day care homes and play grounds that are
part of real property. Services will coordinate with the safety staff to inspect at least 10
percent of all approved home-day-care providers annually.
3.8.2. Seasonal inspections will be conducted of recreational areas (e.g., sports fields,
swimming pools, camp grounds, and recreational vehicle parks and other recreational areas).
Services will coordinate with the safety staff to jointly conduct pre- and post-season
inspections of seasonal areas. Preseason inspections ensure post-season inspection hazards
have been corrected and that there are no new hazards. The safety staff will conduct post
season inspections to identify any additional hazards, which should be corrected before
operation.
3.9. Staff Assistance Visits (SAV). The purpose of the SAV program is to help develop
solutions, not to inspect or evaluate and to make recommendations for improvement. Safety
staffs at all command levels visit subordinate units when requested or when problems, personnel
turnover or special issues require on-scene assistance. Provide a written report to the
commander. Do not require replies unless an action started during the visit needs monitoring by
the higher headquarters safety staff or requires further staff action above the level of the visited
unit.
3.9.1. Staff Assistance Visits may be conducted at any level at any time.
