The mission of the MCAS Beaufort Safety Department is to provide a safe and healthy working environment, which supports the war fighter, improves combat readiness and effectiveness, and improves morale and well being for all. The ultimate goal for the department is to achieve, through rigorous hazard identification and risk assessment practices, a sustainable operational readiness posture, where safety and Operational Risk Management (ORM) are embedded in all day to day operations, tactical planning, and on and off duty recreational activities. Our risk management policy is designed to promote "shared ownership" of the safety program by all, instead of "forced accountability" by a few. Because our Safety Program is founded upon shared values and not imposed rules, all Marines, Sailors, civilian employees and contractor staff, who make up the whole of MCAS Beaufort, must accept the responsibility for incorporating safety into each and every operation.
