Congratulations to my team on issuing this report on Special Forces training accidents. Special Forces personnel conduct high-risk training to prepare for challenging missions. But serious accidents have raised questions about the safety of some of these activities. About 80% of the over 3,600 on-duty, non-combat accidents reported from FY 2012-2022 occurred during training. Parachute and dive training accounted for about 40% of those accidents. The U.S. Special Operations Command designated 7 training areas as high-risk, including parachuting, diving, and urban combat. But it hasn't analyzed accident trends in these areas or others that may be high-risk to improve safety. We have recommendations to address this and 5 others. Please check it out!

Commercial diving involves the use of specialized equipment, including diving hats, to conduct underwater work. There are instances where companies may create fake certifications and air samples to mislead clients, particularly for navy and army corps projects. Contractors might manipulate quality control test results to gain unfair advantages, such as financial incentives or to avoid production delays. They may also mishandle quality control samples, submitting photocopies instead of originals or altering sample labels without proper oversight. Investigations into these practices can include various legal actions, such as criminal and civil investigations, and may uncover serious offenses like fraud and bribery. It's crucial to differentiate between high-pressure and low-pressure air samples in this context, as they serve different purposes. Some may even consider modifying air compressors for diving use, but this raises significant safety and compliance https://lnkd.in/etbs9f8h NAVFAC_ML_IG@navy.mil ceig@usace.army.mil

DO YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY IS IN DEBRIEFS? One of the many things that we teach in the HFID: Level 1 Webinar series is Psychological Safety in Diving. We've also written many blogs on the topic to boost the knowledge available to you. "The Human Diver uses a framework that was developed some time ago based on personal experience from aviation, from Robert Teschner (USAF Top Gun graduate and ex-boss of a F-22 squadron), Werner Naef (a good friend from NZ), and Amy Edmondson (expert on psychological safety). The structure defines what we were supposed to do, creates a psychologically safe environment by the debrief leader talking about something that didn’t personally go to plan or where they made a mistake or ‘drifted’, then covers the pre-dive logistics, planning, briefing, then the learning from both individual and team perspectives, and the finally identifies what needs to change post-debrief. This all sits under the acronym DEBrIEF. The ‘r’ is intentionally small because the review of the timeline doesn’t normally contribute to the team or individual learning." https://buff.ly/3KDhFud The HFID: Level 1 Webinar is a 10 week LIVE course that allows for interactive learning for all booked on. The next session starts on October 6th or October 8th depending on your location. You can find out more about the course and book your place at https://buff.ly/49fJG56 #TheHumanDiver #Diving #JustCulture #HumanFactors #NonTechnicalSkills

It is important to stay focused when operating a vessel! Hazards, swimmers, vessels and marine life can all appear instantly, so boaters must be prepared to handle those situations. #USCG #CoastGuard #USCGAux #AuxA #GoCoastguard #semperparatus

Are seafarers truly able to relax during shore leave, or is there a lingering pressure to return to the ship at any moment for emergencies? In a recent discussion with Chief Mate Nikolai Sozinov, he highlighted that many seafarers find it challenging to unwind even on shore leave. Moreover, transitioning from the onboard mindset to family life can be mentally straining for some seafarers and in particular, officers. What are your thoughts on how seafarers cope with this transition from life at sea to life on shore? #seafarer #seafarers #merchantnavy #shipping #crew #career #seaman #captain #officers #wellness

My latest video! On the day we shot this, I learned what an LSO is, and how they’re trained!! See how my Division is working to make that training a lot more affordable and efficient!
When it comes to capability, affordability, safety, and training—the Landing Signal Officer Training Simulator at NAS Pax River delivers! Watch how #NAWCAD trains US Navy and United States Marine Corps LSOs faster and more affordably while exposing them to a vast array of potential scenarios and weather conditions. #NAWCAD is proud to be part of the foundation that supports our warfighter! https://lnkd.in/es29ztZJ
