The document summarizes safety and health topics covered in the Alaskan Region FAA Employee Safety and Health News & Notes newsletter from 2000. It discusses regional OSHECCOM members undergoing mock aviation survival drills, highlights safety hazards in offices and while driving, and promotes commitment to FAA's safety and health program. It also provides testimonials about the value of safety videos in raising awareness and changing behaviors.
This document is a 2010-2015 strategic plan report from Eastern Aleutian Tribes, an Alaska Native health organization. It provides an executive summary, message from the board president, and outlines goals and accomplishments over the past 5 years. Key points include that EAT has grown from a small organization with few employees and a small budget to a larger corporation with over 100 employees and a $9.2 million budget, offering professional health services across 8 communities. The strategic plan process helped establish priorities around improving services for patients, communities, programs, and technology over the next 5 years.
The document provides anticipatory guidance for health care professionals regarding children, adolescents, and media usage. It discusses how media can influence health issues like aggression, sexuality, substance use, obesity, and eating disorders. It recommends that health care professionals screen patients for daily screen time and the presence of TVs/internet in bedrooms. Guidance should encourage limiting total entertainment screen time to less than 2 hours per day and avoiding screens for children under 2. Parents should select age-appropriate content and co-view with children to discuss what they see.
The document summarizes the agenda for the next Oklahoma Field Federal Safety and Health Council meeting on October 4th, 2012. The National Weather Service will present on fall protection. A tour of the NWS Operations Center in Norman will follow. The 2013 OFFSHC officers were also elected. The USPS Oklahoma City Distribution Center discussed implementing an inexpensive Voluntary Protection Program. Free webinar resources on safety topics were also mentioned.
SAFETY TOOLBOX TALK: Seven Common Accident CausesMARLON RAMIREZ
The document discusses seven common causes of workplace accidents. It notes that 80% of accidents are due to unsafe acts by those involved rather than unsafe conditions. The seven causes are: taking shortcuts, overconfidence, starting tasks without full instructions, poor housekeeping, ignoring safety procedures, mental distractions, and failure to plan work. Addressing these behaviors could help reduce accidents. The document advises workers to learn from it and be careful.
The newsletter summarizes recent workplace safety news and issues from July 2015, including:
- West Virginia had the highest rate of accidental deaths for the third time in four years, largely due to prescription drug overdoses.
- The sign company introduced new emergency evacuation and muster point signs to help businesses prepare for unexpected weather events.
- Articles discuss forklift safety best practices to reduce injuries, how to avoid common safety committee pitfalls, and proper placement of eyewash stations and emergency showers.
- The top OSHA fines in May totaled $3.8 million for violations including machine guarding and lock-out/tag-out procedures.
This document provides three updates on motorcycle safety training in the Navy:
1) Motorcycle fatalities are disproportionately high among sport bike riders, who comprise 75% of fatalities but only 42% of riders. The Military Sport-bike Rider Course has reduced fatalities by half over three years but three-quarters of sport bike riders who died were not trained.
2) Information on motorcycle safety training resources and requirements is available online at specific websites.
3) An FY12 training schedule from the Naval Safety & Environmental Training Center has been posted online, offering more courses in the Pacific Fleet region than in FY11.
The document discusses several topics:
1. The polarized proton program at RHIC is exceeding expectations and the highest polarized proton energies ever have been achieved.
2. Funding for RHIC accelerator operations looks good but funding for nuclear physics research does not.
3. The EBIS project has received initial funding and beam commissioning is planned for 2009.
4. Students are welcomed for the summer and safety is emphasized.
The Career Guide to the Safety Profession provides an overview of careers in the safety profession. It is published by the American Society of Safety Engineers Foundation and the Board of Certified Safety Professionals to inform students about educational requirements, roles, specializations, and outlook within the field. The guide details the types of work safety professionals perform, such as hazard identification and mitigation, regulatory compliance, health hazard control, and environmental protection. It aims to explain the skills and qualifications needed for a successful career in occupational safety.

The document discusses crew resource management (CRM) training for aviation crews. CRM training addresses optimizing human-machine interfaces and interpersonal skills like team building, information sharing, problem solving, and situation awareness. Maintaining situational awareness is one of the biggest factors of CRM, and selective attention can diminish it. The document emphasizes avoiding distractions from cell phones and personal electronic devices, as they can negatively impact safety by reducing focus on critical flight duties.
This document discusses implementing safety management systems (SMS) for small fleet and private operators. It addresses some of the key challenges in doing so, such as scaling traditional SMS systems down to an administratively manage level and determining which elements to prioritize with limited resources. The biggest challenge identified is getting operators to see the need for an SMS in the first place. The presentation provides an overview of SMS and how it differs from traditional safety programs by taking a more proactive, data-driven approach. It offers practical advice on developing SMS policies for small operators, including establishing personal flight limits and duty time policies. Fatigue management is discussed as an important area requiring policy. A just culture policy example is also presented.

MOCK AVIATION SURVIVAL DRILLS
"May Day, May Day, May Day, Ditching, Ditching, Ditching," The
room goes dark, fills with fog fluid, while a variety of falling debris
fills the mock-up cabin. It's a struggle just to get your bearings much
more to get the unwieldy seat belt unbuckled with those bulky winter
gloves. Escape is crucial, not only for your own survival but your co-
passengers too. It's a simulated crash landing at Learn to Return
(LTR), and the lesson is to see if students can remain calm during one
of the most blood-stopping situations imaginable.
In this instance, the students were 12 Regional OSHECCOM members
and guests who underwent a mock "unscheduled" aircraft landing for
its April meeting at the Anchorage-based survival school of LTR
Training Systems.
The field trip was a very brief look at an intense two-day course, Arctic
Stress/Aviation Survival (CPMIS Course No. 96250), provided for
FAA technicians and specialists who frequently fly in the arduous
Arctic environment. The training is one of over a hundred courses
included in the updated AAL Environmental & Occupational

2. The following testimonials show how
videos have helped viewers become
more aware and safety conscious:
“The video, ‘Traveling in America’
stands out as one of the most poignant
videos for me. It was based on real case
studies of women who were traveling
alone on business in different parts of the
US. I've had to travel alone many times
and this video was a great review on what
I should be doing to take precautions. I
even use some of the recommended
techniques on a daily basis when walking
to and from my parked vehicle and the
Federal Building. I'd strongly
recommend it for anyone traveling
alone...men aren't exempt.”
“My 16-year-old son walked in the room
while I was watching ‘Room To Live.’
Trooper Ware was such a compelling
speaker on the proper use of seat belts

that my son actually sat through the
entire video as well as its sequel. I
know that he was listening because of
his comments, “I never thought of it
that way. ‘Wow, I never realized that.’
I may never know how this video
might change his habits of wearing
seat belts while riding around with his
friends, but I’m mighty glad he had
the opportunity to view these films.”
“Since AAL-471 began to show an
awareness video during the first staff
meeting of every month, I have been
reminded of many safety issues that I
already knew but needed to revisit.
Concerns like never burning wrapping
paper in fireplaces since they emit
toxic fumes, not connecting any more
than three sets of lights to an extension
cord, and limiting alcoholic beverages
to one per hour. This video was very
interesting and informative and not the
least bit boring! I give it a thumbs up!”
“ I attended the "Fire Life Safety at
ATCTs" class, which also featured the
video, ‘Portable Fire Extinguishers’ by
Coastal, training required by OSHA. I
have had a portable extinguisher in my
home pantry, which I have never had to
use, but often thought, upon seeing it,
would I be able to do the right thing
with it? Well, the video very clearly
stressed the PASS process, Pull, Aim,
Squeeze, and Sweep. Best of all, we
got to practice this very procedure with
a live portable extinguisher as part of
the training. The session gave me
confidence and I also reflected, why
not just buy an extra, cheap
extinguisher and practice at home with
the family!”
“I used to be one of those guys that
would turn on my brights to let another
driver know I was aggravated with
their rudeness while driving to work on
the Glenn Highway. But after
watching ‘Road Rage,’ I’ve changed
my tactics and not taken their actions
so personally. Perceiving their actions
differently has helped to decrease my
stress level too.”

THE BARE SWITCH
PROJECT
8 ALASKAN REGION FAA EMPLOYEE SAFETY AND HEALTH NEWS & NOTES
To help meet the environmental,
safety and health training awareness
needs of FAA employees, AAL-
471 has assembled nearly 250
environmental, safety, and health
training video tapes, representing
more than a dozen of the nation’s
leading video producers. And the
library is constantly growing as
more compliance training is
mandated by OSHA and EPA.
“Not only does improving
environmental, safety and health
conditions have an obvious benefit
of protecting the welfare of our
employees and the environment ,”
asserts Cathy Benediktsson,
Regional Program Manager for
Environment and Safety (RPMES),
“but providing the kind of quality
training that can be offered.
improves employee relations too.”
CFR regulations for most videos are
reflected in the AAL-471 EOSH
Training Coursebook, due to be
updated yet this year.
While the names of videos in the
EOSH Video Library may not have
any particular Hollywood appeal,
these films are nevertheless high
quality productions which could
influence change in daily habits
either at work or at home. Some
videos in the collection are highly
technical and have specific work-
related information. Most films deal
with practical matters, often of an
awareness nature, that may affect
each employee, their workplace as
well as coworkers. Some also may
pertain to life outside of FAA.
“Just picking up one tip that changes
a potentially life threatening habit
makes the video library well worth
the time and effort,” Cathy adds.
EOSH VIDEOS PROVIDE VALUABLE RESOURCE
