Chapter 2 Risk Management.
2-1. Purpose. This chapter establishes requirements for training safety measures for USAFCOEFS. All USAFCOEFS units must assess and control the risks associated with all potentially hazardous operations. The risk management process will be used IAW AR 350- 1, AR 385-10, ATP 5-19, FM 3-0, DA Pam 385-1, IMCOM Regulation 385- 10 and TRADOC Reg. 385-2.

All personnel shall complete the On-Line Risk Management training within 60 days of assignment or hiring, and further complete ongoing annual risk management training and document training. Subordinates follow and learn from the actions of leaders in the performance of their duties. Safety is no exception. Soldiers develop a "sixth safety sense" after being exposed to repetitive words and deeds that reflect leader's safety awareness and concern. Moreover, Soldiers be aware that you are accountable for accidents when you fail to exercise prudent caution or fail to accomplish a task in which you are trained or instructed. There is no choice between safety and realism. Safety always prevails.
2-3. Risk Management. Leaders at all levels utilize risk management procedures to integrate safety into planning and implementation phases of all operations to effectively accomplish the mission and provide protection against accidental losses of personnel and equipment.
