ENCLOSURE 3
PROTECTION (SAFETY) ASSESSMENT TOOLS
1. Safety Study Guide and Quiz for Combat Training Center (CTC) Rotations (Ground and Aviation). Guide is based on accident experience and safety guidance applicable to CTC rotations. Results of quiz allows commanders and leaders to focus pre-deployment safety training on what soldiers do not know. Objective is to reduce safety violations and resulting accidents during trainup and rotation. Study guides and quizzes are available for National Training Center (NTC), Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) and Combat Maneuver Training Center (CMTC). Information can be extracted to tailor guides and quizzes for a unit's METT-T factors.
2. Next Accident Assessment for Individuals. A self-awareness tool, designed for soldiers at all levels, which identifies factors responsible for accident risk (not to be shared with command). Also includes questions (to be shared with command) regarding actions the soldier promises to take to reduce personal accident risk and chain-of-command actions needed to help reduce soldier's risk.
3. Next Accident Assessment for Aviators. A self-awareness tool, designed for aviators at all levels, which identifies factors responsible for accident risk (not to be shared with command). Also includes questions (to be shared with command) regarding actions the aviator promises to take to reduce personal risk and chain-of-command actions needed to help reduce the aviator's risk.
4. Next Accident Assessment for Leaders. A risk management tool used by leaders to assess the accident risk of each soldier they supervise and the reasons for that risk. Summary sheet can be placed in the leader book for use in counseling and monitoring risk reduction progress.
5. Next Accident Assessment for Leaders of Aviators. A risk management tool used by leaders to assess the accident risk of each aviator they supervise and the reasons for that risk. Summary sheet can be placed in the leader book for use in counseling and monitoring risk reduction progress.
6. Mission-Essential Task List (METL) Risk Assessment. Permits the unit commander to compare his estimate with that of his senior soldiers and determine the reasons for any differences. Averaging the estimates permits a risk ranking of the METL tasks and "worst-first" risk management actions. It also emphasizes the need to identify controls for hazards in executing each METL task, regardless of the initial risk level.
7. Group Discussions and Individual Interviews. After completing quizzes and assessments, a group discussion is conducted with soldiers about protection/risk management issues. Interviews are conducted with commanders and key leaders, based on results from the quizzes, assessments and group discussion.
8. Protection (Safety) Report. Based on the assessment findings, protection/risk management strengths and weaknesses are listed. Recommendations are provided to the commander for sustainment or improvement in these areas.
