A. Preface

1. Commander’s Safety Intent: The safety of everyone on Tinker AFB is our top priority. All individuals must accept personal responsibility for safety and seek opportunities for improving the safety of our collective work environment. Everyone working on Tinker AFB is challenged to find, fix (if able) and report all hazards and near misses. It is our shared duty to take every reasonable step and precaution to prevent accidents and preserve the health/safety of each Contractor and Government employee.

2. Speak Out for Safety (SOS): Safety surety is an integral part of our overall goal of establishing a world-class safety and health program. Our “Speak Out for Safety” initiative is a partnership with contractors and government employees to further enhance safety to ensure we are looking out for all our partners and empowers all employees to actively participate in each other’s safety. A safe workplace is everyone's business. As part of the contract team, military, civilian and contractor personnel are empowered to Speak Out for Safety (S.O.S.) when they observe unsafe acts that present imminent danger to personnel or catastrophic damage to property. We encourage our employees to intervene to ensure continued safe operations.
