PONCE, Puerto Rico - Puerto Rico Army and Air National Guard Commanders and Safety Non Commissioned Officers assembled April 10 in Ponce, Puerto Rico for a three day 2012 Joint Command Safety Training Workshop to refresh their safety knowledge base.
Why is safety such an integral part of the soldiers or airman’s existence? According to the United States Army Combat Readiness Safety Center, it’s a simple idea based on the military’s Composite Risk Management System “Take 5” initiative. “Take 5” -- that’s five minutes, five seconds or more or fewer as necessary -- to think situations through to make the right safety decisions.
The intent is to provide soldiers, airmen, DOD civilians, commanders, and managers with the contacts, training, tools, and guidance to effectively integrate CRM into missions, jobs, and off-duty activity. CRM is the military’s primary decision-making process to identify hazards, reduce risk, and prevent both accidental and tactical loss.
The Puerto Rico National Guard emphasizes safety during all aspects of its service member’s day to day activities, whether at home or on duty. "Trained and ready" is a well-recognized military goal and slogan. This statement recognizes that effective mission accomplishment depends on developing and maintaining the right skills and knowledge. Army Lt. Col. Ángel Santiago, PRNG Safety and Occupational Health manager and organizer of the 2012 Joint Command Safety Training Workshop, said he was impressed with the efficient coordination of his staff, identifying them as ‘my tribe,’ whom operated within the limits of strict budget constraints, as well as the professionalism of the invited instructors. “In terms of my objectives, the workshop was very successful and extraordinarily important, especially as we near this year’s annual training. Our commanders and subordinate leaders leave here with effective ways to assess and prevent injury to those under their command.”
