About
The NAVAIR Mission Safety and Health vision is for aircraft, weapons systems, and processes that are designed with minimal potential risk of occupational injury or illnesses to operators, crew, maintainers and support personnel. The NAVAIR Mission Safety and Health offices provide occupational safety and health services in direct support of aircraft research, development, testing and evaluation (RDT&E); acquisition; radiation safety; and intermediate/depot maintenance. Mission support personnel at NAVAIR organizations work with Base Operating Support (BOS) occupational safety and health personnel to ensure both mission specific and traditional occupational safety and health support is provided without gaps.
It is NAVAIR's goal to provide a safe, injury-free workplace. To achieve this goal, as well as the Department of the Navy's 75% lost time reduction goal, NAVAIR will:
Integrate safety into all on- and off-duty activities, work processes, and weapon system design to enhance mission readiness, capability, and accomplishment.
Imbed safety culture into the total force (military, civilians, and contractors), with accountability and involvement at all levels, through the adoption of a Safety Management System.
Facilitate continuous improvement in safety performance by managing hazards, mitigating risk, and implementing actions to reduce mishaps, through the use of annual safety program self-assessments.
Maintain effective safety monitoring and performance measuring systems that support senior leadership and unit-specific metrics, data analysis for root causes and development of mitigation strategies.
Employ new technology and the latest management tools to facilitate individual and unit safety awareness and ownership.
Aggressively and transparently communicate safety successes, share hazard awareness and share near-miss lessons learned.
Enable safety performance by developing and maintaining a workforce of talented and skilled safety personnel, both military and civilian, that supports the seamless integration of safety into all work processes, products, and operations.
Using sound risk management principles, Occupational Safety and Health is integrated into all acquisitions, processes and facilities to achieve a mishap-free environment for the NAVAIR Team.
