Who is responsible for instructing and drilling all safety precautions and procedures?

The role of the Commanding Officer encompasses overall responsibility for the safety and operational readiness of their unit. This includes ensuring that all personnel are trained on safety precautions and procedures that apply to their specific duties. The Commanding Officer sets the tone for safety culture within the organization and ensures that everyone understands the importance of adhering to safety protocols.

While other roles, such as the Safety Petty Officer, Aviation Safety Officer, and Ground Safety Officer, play significant parts in implementing and promoting safety protocols, the ultimate authority and the responsibility to ensure that these safety procedures are not only established but followed rests with the Commanding Officer. This is because the Commanding Officer must ensure that adequate safety measures are integrated into all operations and that comprehensive training on these measures is provided to all personnel.
