Best Practices

Many Navy and Marine Corps safety departments have created initiatives and launched new programs that are helping prevent mishaps. At the links below, you'll find ideas, programs and other useful tools as you start new safety programs or improve existing ones. Here are some of the latest:

FOD Prevention (Hornet Gun/Gun Bay) (VFA-102)
Mishap Binder (HT-18)
Motorcycle Course Requirements (Flow Chart) (USS Makin Island)
Motorcycle-Safety Committee (USS Emory S. Land)
Awards – Wing Instruction About Safety-Award Criteria COMHSCWINGPAC)
ORM Worksheet: Tiltrotor Syllabus (HT-18)

What is a "Best Practice"?

Best practices are innovative ways to use personnel, resources, or technology in order to achieve better results.
A “best practice” is the process that most effectively eliminates a hazard or helps control a risk. Best practices range from single actions and procedures to complex programs. They have been successfully applied at Navy and Marine Corps command, or at other federal or private organizations. They offer insight and options for others who are trying to control similar risks.
