## Civil Air Patrol Safety Contract

- 	As a member of Civil Air Patrol, I understand the importance that a “safety culture” plays in the protection of the health and welfare of our members, our valuable resources and our mission readiness.  In CAP, safety first is not “a box we check off” before operations, it is THE way we must operate.   Ensuring “safety first” across CAP Air, Ground, Facilities, and Personal operations takes a concerted effort by every member involved to ensure the safety of CAP operations while getting the mission accomplished.
- 	To do my part I agree and commit to apply common sense, follow CAP regulatory guidance, and manage risk using the principles of Operational Risk Management during all my activities in CAP.
- _Specifically, I pledge to_:
- 	- Comply with the guidance in CAPR 62-1, Safety Responsibilities and Procedures.
- 	- Comply with additional guidance in the following, as my CAP participation requires:
- 		-- CAPR 60-1, Flight Management
- 		-- CAPR 60-3, Emergency Services Training and Operational Missions
- 		-- CAPR 62-2, Mishap Reporting and Investigation
- 		-- CAPR 66-1, Aircraft Maintenance Management
- 		-- CAPR 76-1, Travel via Military Aircraft and use of Military Facilities & Vehicles
- 		-- CAPR 77-1, Operation and Maintenance of CAP Vehicles
- 	- Foster a Safe Environment by:
- 		-- Identifying any associated hazards, assessing the risk, and eliminating or reducing 			the risk to an acceptable level, before every CAP activity.
- 		-- Ensuring trained, responsible CAP members supervise CAP activities
- 		-- Staying trained, current and qualified, and fully preparing for every CAP activity 			-- Be a responsible steward of CAP resources by treating CAP resources as if they 			were my own and keeping CAP equipment mission-ready.
- _I understand that violating these guidelines may bring severe penalties, including fines and permanent separation from the Civil Air Patrol, as described in CAP Regulations_.
