PRE-MOB SAFETY BRIEFING

PRE-MOBILIZATION SAFETY BRIEFING

Safety personnel are available for assistance in the ground, flying, and weapons. These safety personnel will provide courtesy safety assistance in the event of a reportable accident or injury, but ultimately the responsibility rest with the unit-in-training safety personnel.

Safety briefings will be conducted for the benefit of visiting units during site surveys and/or prior deployment. Each unit-in-training is encouraged to be active participants in the CRTC Accident Prevention Program.

Explosive Safety

1. Individuals working with explosives are responsible for compliance with explosive safety standards.
2. Explosive Safety Map. The Alpena CRTC Explosive Location Map, maintained by Civil Engineering (DE), provides a visual reference for explosive locations, clear zones, and other information.
