Senior leaders issue holiday safety message

Secretary of the Air Force Michael B. Donley, Chief of Staff of the Air Force General Mark A. Welsh III and Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force James A. Roy issued a tri-signature “Letter to Airmen” on Nov. 5.

As part of this year’s Holiday/Winter Safety Campaign, “Safe-n-Sound,” the Air Force’s top three leaders remind Airmen to include sound risk management in all their holiday and winter plans.

“All Airmen, uniformed and civilian, have a responsibility to ensure a safe holiday for themselves, their fellow Airmen, their wingmen, and their families by being alert to safety risks on and off duty. We urge you to use common sense and keep your focus on risk management as we strive to enjoy a mishap-free season.”
