FY 21 Program Assessment Checklist

Executive Summary

1. Wing Safety office conducted an assessment of the units Mishap Prevention program to evaluate its compliance with regulatory requirements according to United States Law, applicable Department of Defense, Air Force and Air National Guard codes.

2. Assessment Overview: The goal of the assessment is to identify gaps in the unit Commanders Mishap Reduction Program that exposes the unit’s personnel and Commander unnecessary risk. It should be used to provide unit leadership areas requiring additional resources and support from the Wing Safety office. This assessment is required by Public Law, DOD Requirements, and Air Force Instructions.

3. The Wing Safety office will track all program deficiencies using iAuditor to closure. Supervisors and USR's are responsible for updating all deficiencies in their section via iAuditor. Status updates are required every 30 days from supervisors and USR's. Instructions for supervisors to use iAuditor are loaded on Safety SharePoint. All identified deficiencies are in the following report.

4. Please direct any questions regarding this report to the Wing Safety office.

DEFICIENCY: A validated deficiency assessed as CRITICAL, SIGNIFICANT, or MINOR.

CRITICAL: Any deficiency that results or could result in widespread negative mission impact or failure.

SIGNIFICANT: A validated deficiency that has or could have negative mission impact.

MINOR: A validated deficiency that does not meet the definition of a Critical or Significant Deficiency but requires corrective action.

OBSERVATION: General statement made by inspector regarding a process, inspection item or area of interest.

RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENT AREA (RIA): An identified process, product, or capability which could be improved by a suggested course of action.

Additionally, hazards may be submitted using the Airman Safety Action Program (ASAP) and MAJCOM specific hazard reporting forms. Readily available is defined as not being under lock and key or only accessible through electronic means when a member does not have immediate access to a government computer. Personnel have the option to submit hazard reports anonymously, to the responsible supervisor, or to the local safety office. To preserve easy access to the hazard report and anonymity when desired, commanders will consider posting the AF Form 457 in commonly visited areas like break rooms, training rooms, and debrief rooms, as well as safety bulletin boards. Any person assigned, attached or under contract to the Air Force may report a hazard. A hazard report may be submitted on any event that includes hazards, errors, unsafe procedures, practices or conditions that affects flight, occupational, weapons, systems or space safety. This process is not designed for readdressing hazards that are already being managed for abatement through another process such as a CE work request, job order, project or mishap investigation.
