    their care. I am committed to protecting people and ensuring readiness by reducing
    preventable injuries and illnesses of Army Soldiers and personnel.

    SUBJECT: Safety Policy

    4. One of the foundations of an excellent safety and occupational health management


    system is the risk management process. Supervisors must identify all workplace
    hazards and develop control measures to minimize risks . These risks and control
    measures must then be communicated to employees during the onboarding process.
    During operations , leaders at each level manage risk and ensure employees conduct all
    activities safely. Every Army operation to include special events , public events, and
    Ammunition and Explosives activities will have a DD Form 2977, Deliberate Risk
    Assessment Worksheet (DRAW) completed to determine that risks are identified and
    min imized . Risk decisions will be made IAW DA PAM 385-30 .

    5. A key element of ASOHMS is active leadership engagement and personnel/Soldier


    participation . Leaders at all levels must enable and encourage effective employee
    participation in safety and occupational health (SOH) program planning and operations,
    such as reporting hazards without fear of reprisal , serving on organizational SOH
    committees , participating in the development of risk assessments, and performing
    worksite inspections. Ultimately, our goal as a Garrison is to create a robust safety
    culture in which all personnel take responsibility for workplace safety.
