Who is responsible for ensuring that applicable safety precautions are posted?

• A. The Commanding Officer
• B. The Aviation Safety Officer
• C. The Ground Safety Officer
• D. The Division Officer

Answer: (A)

Visible safety postings are a reflection of the command’s commitment to safety, and the person with overall responsibility for that commitment is the Commanding Officer. The CO is accountable for the safety program across the entire command, which includes making sure that all applicable safety precautions are posted, kept current, and communicated to everyone. While the Aviation Safety Officer or Ground Safety Officer develops and oversees the safety program specifics and the Division Officer ensures postings in their own area, the ultimate responsibility to ensure those postings exist and are maintained rests with the CO. If postings are missing or outdated, it signals a lapse in command-level oversight that the CO must address.
