The Senior Aviation Safety Officer Seminar 09-001 is scheduled for 27 Apr – 01 May 09. This will be the only SASOS offered during FY 09. Our Army is transforming, as a result, the USACR/Safety Center, G7 Training Directorate offers this relatively short in duration - yet high impact – course to senior Safety Professionals. Our "50 meter target" is aimed at updating and training higher level safety positions. Full description and pre-requisites are noted on this website; ATRRS has limited description and requirements. Total seats authorized: 32. For seat requests access Army Training Requirements and Resource System (ATRRS): https://www.atrrs.army.mil/
Send questions or comments related to the course directly to Aviation Safety Officer Training Directorate, USACR/Safety Center, G7.
Aviation Safety Officer Higher Education Phase I and II Objectives:
1. Provide senior Safety Professionals higher education that is cutting edge and valuable to the needs of the demographic/field. Training will include modules such as Human Factors Accident Classification System and HFACS Taxonomy, how to access and check compliance with Safety Of Use Messages, Ground Precautionary Messages, Safety of Flight Messages, Aviation Safety Action Messages etc. How to download blackboard training courses offered through Army Knowledge on line and Distance Learning. USACR/Safety Center RMIS statistical analysis, and Army air and ground trends will be addressed. Essentially, the course will detail how and where to find cutting edge information giving students value-added information and staff skills used to influence safety program requirements to commanders.
2. Any course that is offered through distance learning will not be instructed.
3. Each student/attendee will bring detailed summaries of best safety practices related to the 46 programs and processes Safety Professionals manage and monitor IAW AR 385-10 and DA PAM 385-10. Standard to present best safety practices: One or more best practices in simple PPT slides (4 to 6 bullets per slide with notes) detailing best safety practice(s) for discussion/education with course attendees and instructors. Due to short duration of course students are required to have their presentations prepared prior to arrival. One day of instruction will be dedicated to effective communication of these best safety practices to course attendees and instructors. There is no time limit on effective communication of best safety practices; however, plan on 10 to 20 minutes per student discussing how to effectively accomplish regulatory requirements using best safety practices. Students will approach this task considering current world-wide deployment demands, Army restructuring, and METT-TC using their experience, knowledge, skills and abilities. Each student’s knowledge is an invaluable addition to course attendees and will assist the USACR/Safety Center in training and education updates. Therefore, a large emphasis is placed on this task. Student presentations will be kept on file within the G7 training directorate for staffing within the USACR/Safety Center.
4. Phase I Distance Learning:
- Commanders Safety Course (Approximate time: 4 - 6 hours).
- Managers Safety Course: For civilian safety managers, supervisors and employees IAW Army Safety and Occupational Health Objectives for Fiscal Year (FY) 2007 memorandum from Francis J. Harvey, Secretary of the Army, dated 13 October 2006. (Approximate time: 1 hour).
- Army Accident Avoidance Course (Approximate time: 1 hour).
- Composite Risk Management (CRM) Basic Course (Approximate time: 1.5 hours). ,
- Composite Risk Management (CRM) Basic Course for DA Civilians: (Approximate time: 1.5 hours).
- Prerequisites A - E can be found via https://safetylms.army.mil/
- Ammo 45 Course (Approximate time: 15 hours). Ammo course prerequisites can be found via https://www3.dac.army.mil/AS/viewallcourses.html
- If phase I distance learning requirements are not met prior to attendance they must be completed within 60 days of completing the ASO Advanced Course. Students meeting prerequisite and resident course requirements will be issued ASO Advanced Course Certificates of completion via ATRRS. Students will bring course completion certificates to training day one of ASO Advanced Course.
- Each student will be a CW4 or CW5, or DA civilian in a Safety Professional Position or enroute to a Safety Professional Position. Each student will be a previous Aviation Safety Officer or CP12 Course graduate. Exceptions will be considered on a case by case basis. Examples may include a CW3 requesting attendance enroute to his/her first Battalion/Squadron/DRU or Brigade Safety Position. Another example may be a CW4 that has been an IP his/her whole career and is informed by HRC that he/she is going to a Battalion/Squadron/DRU or Brigade Safety Position. Another example may be a U.S. Forest Service or other agency contractor or GS employee with previous safety training or a degree in safety tasked to fill a Safety Professional position. Again, since this course is designed to be graduate level, previous safety training is required; however, the needs of Army are considered for each request in order to meet those demands assisting commanders in the field.
- Each Student will report NLT 1 day prior to course start date IAW welcome packet instructions.
5. Phase II: Resident Course and Tools: Students will be given multiple CD's that detail ASO/CP12/Ground Safety Officer/NCO Courses of instruction to further educate, review and use as tools to accelerate learning during the conduct of unit duties.
6. Additional courses of instruction that are neither a requirement nor a prerequisite can be accessed via https://safetylms.army.mil/
7. ASO Instructors look forward to sharing experiences, knowledge, skills, abilities and best safety practices with students seeking higher education in safety program management.
