…aviation, agriculture, pest and environmental management policies providing direction and safety.
Safety Policy is one of four “pillars” providing the foundation to Safety Management Systems, a structured management approach for controlling risk in Interagency Fire and Aviation Management operations. The purpose of federal aviation policy is to provide for our safety, as an example: pilot and aircraft carding requirements. For additional safety management guidance see Aviation Risk Management.
Following are select links to policy documents pertaining to safety and FHP programs in general: United States Code, Code of Federal Regulations, Forest Service Manuals and Handbooks. Questions on policy interpretation should be directed to responsible officials and subject area specialists such as FHP directors, region/area unit aviation officers, FHP aviation safety manager, state and regional aviation managers, contracting officers, etc. as appropriate.
