## Civil Air Patrol Safety Contract

**	****As a member of CAP, 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 just “a box we check off” before operations, it is THE way we operate.  Ensuring “safety first” across CAP Air, Ground, Facilities, and Personnel operations  takes a concerted effort by every member involved to ensure the safety of operations while getting the mission accomplished.**
**	****To do my part I agree and commit to apply common sense, follow CAP regulatory guidance, to learn the principles of Operational Risk Management and practice them to manage risk during all my activities in CAP.  Specifically, I pledge to:**
**Be a responsible steward of CAP resources and to do my part to keep CAP equipment mission-ready, to include protecting it as if it was my own.**
**Foster a safe environment across any CAP operations that I participate in by:**
**	****-As a new member completing the mandatory safety education required by my Wing within ****	****my first six months of CAP Level One Orientation.**
**	****-Staying trained, current and qualified, and fully preparing for every CAP activity that I ****	****undertake**
**	****-Identifying any associated hazards, assessing the risk, and eliminating or reducing the ****	****risk to an acceptable level, before every CAP activity.**
**	****-Helping to ensure that adequately trained CAP members supervise activities.**
**To study, learn, and comply with the guidance in the following regulations as my participation in CAP activities requires:**
**	****-CAPR 62-1, Safety Responsibilities and Procedures**
**	****-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**

**To do my best to promptly share safety information and concerns with my fellow members whenever I become aware of these during any CAP activity.**
