My supervisor assists me in reducing risks associated with off-duty and recreational activities.
- Support your personnel in conducting their OD&R activities safely . . . labeling and ridiculing particular activities does not reduce those activities, it only builds resentment.
- Challenge the SNCOs/NCOs to be more proactive with the troops and ensure the importance of doing things safely is very clear to them.
- Do not use scare tactics. Educate your personnel on the hazards and ORM.
- Train personnel to properly use ORM for their high-risk activities.
- Ensure unit members are educated in the ORM process to the point that it becomes an automatic or intuitive part of decision making.
- Integrate the ORM process into identifying/managing high risk personnel.
- Locate mentors and training opportunities for your personnel who are involved in high risk activities.
- Personnel often want to be more involved and/or become mentors. These personnel are a “solution” to a myriad of problems and should be sought out, encouraged, and recognized for their support.
- Use OD&R survey results to tailor safety programs to match the activities of your own personnel (i.e., don't have a lecture on boating safety if no one owns/operates a boat in your unit).
- Routinely encourage your subordinate leaders to work with your Safety Officer and Safety NCO.
- Central to good leadership is maintaining strong and vibrant two-way conversations with our personnel.
- Continue to place flyers, bulletins, notices, etc. concerning OD&R activities on bulletin boards and information racks for easy access near lounges or other gathering spots. Emails and Web pages are too often ignored or ineffective.
- Assign the strongest and most effective personnel you can afford as safety representatives. Their levels of influence and respect amongst their peers will greatly improve safety programs, teamwork, and communication.
- Don't be the "Safety Guy." Motivate and inspire peers towards safer habits through example and timely information, not inspections and policing of individual actions.
- Complacency does kill. Periodically highlight concerns, challenge personnel, question practices, etc. to raise awareness . . . instead of waiting for a mishap to wake up the organization
- Ensure intervention options are clearly communicated.

My supervisor honestly cares about my safety when I am off duty.
- Challenge the SNCOs/NCOs to be more proactive with the troops and ensure the importance of doing things safely is very clear to them.
- Personnel often want to be more involved and/or become mentors. These personnel are a “solution” to a myriad of problems and should be sought out, encouraged, and recognized for their support.
- Do the right thing, the right way, the first time, with a sense of urgency, and take care of each other like they are family.
- Take the time to mentor subordinate leaders on ORM processes.
- Ensure unit members are educated in the ORM process to the point that it becomes an automatic or intuitive part of decision making.
- Beware of and monitor fatigue levels of your personnel.

My supervisor knows which subordinates are involved in high-risk off-duty and recreational activities.
- Integrate the ORM process into identifying/managing high risk personnel.
- Ensure your unit Human Factors Councils (HFCs) and Force Preservation Councils (FPCs) are effective at identifying (and possibly) providing intervention strategies for at-risk Marines.
- Incorporate mentorship at every level.
- Routinely encourage your subordinate leaders to work with your Safety Officer and Safety NCO.
- Communication is key across all pay grades. Ensure it happens.

My command's Off-duty and Recreational Activity Program is effective at helping me reduce personal injury.
- “Check in the box” safety training damages a unit’s safety climate and culture. Conduct all training, surveys, etc. with a realistic goal to provide/obtain useful information or impart a skill.
- Do not use scare tactics. Educate your personnel on the hazards and ORM.
- Train personnel to properly use ORM for their high-risk activities.
- Locate mentors and training opportunities for your personnel who are involved in high risk activities.
- Use OD&R survey results to tailor safety programs to match the activities of your own personnel (i.e., don't have a lecture on boating safety if no one owns/operates a boat in your unit).
- Page 13 entries, Line of Duty briefs, etc. are not just for motorcycle riders. Personnel who conduct any high risk activity should be aware of the consequences of their actions.
- Develop base-sponsored activities/training on various recreational activities to preclude accident-driven learning curves by novices.
- Support your personnel in conducting their OD&R activities safely . . . labeling and ridiculing particular activities does not reduce those activities, it only builds resentment.
- Encourage alcohol-free activities.
- Similar to port call efforts, work with the base special services to offer tours, classes, special events, etc., along with transportation, so junior personnel have a variety of low-cost, non-alcohol related activities.
- Continue to place flyers, bulletins, notices, etc. concerning OD&R activities on bulletin boards and information racks for easy access near lounges or other gathering spots. Emails and Web pages are too often ignored or ineffective.
- Have field meet PME's by rank (i.e., NCO's, SNCO's, officers) and have personnel participate in the activities with SME's observing and teaching the rights/wrongs.

Safety personnel in my command assist me in reducing risks associated with off-duty and recreational activities.
- Assign the strongest and most effective personnel you can afford as safety representatives. Their levels of influence and respect amongst their peers will greatly improve safety programs, teamwork, and communication.
- We have now assigned and advertised the names of safety reps at the company and shop floor level. We have an active safety council that meets regularly to address safety issues.
- Challenge the SNCOs/NCOs to be more proactive with the troops and ensure the importance of doing things safely is very clear to them.

Safety standdowns are effective at helping me reduce off-duty and recreational activity mishaps/injuries.
- Get Safety Standdowns out of the classroom/auditorium. Supervisor facilitated activities, hands-on training, small group discussions, etc. may be more beneficial.
- Use OD&R survey results to tailor safety programs to match the activities of your own personnel (i.e., don't have a lecture on boating safety if no one owns/operates a boat in your unit).

Motocross/off-road motorcycles
- Review the Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center Motorcycle Mentorship Program information on https://safety.army.mil/OFF-DUTY/PMV-2-Motorcycles/MOTORCYCLE/tabid/365/Default.aspx
- Review the Motorcycle Safety Foundation resources at http://www.msf-usa.org/
- Review the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration motorcycle resources at http://www.nhtsa.gov/Safety/Motorcycles
- We are spending more time getting to know the riding habits of our riders through very interactive senior rider and motorcycle mentors.
- We have a dedicated motorcycle safety officer who is a motorcycle rider. This collateral duty is separate from the formal ground safety officer to allow him to be a true SME on the subject.
- I have mandated a mentorship program for riders in my command.
- We have included our ATVs and Dirt bikes into our motorcycle club and have also upgraded our documentation of training.
- Reevaluated our relationship with the Group HQs who provides the riding program that my riders participate in (this is due to the very low number of riders in my unit). We ensured that all paperwork, TTPs and training was taking place.
- Learn your motorcyclists' habits, concerns, and equipment shortfalls through active mentorship.
- Ensure unit members are educated in the ORM process to the point that it becomes an automatic or intuitive part of decision making.
- Communication/Marketing of base motorcycle programs is essential. Many motorcyclists are unaware of courses, mentorship programs, regulations, etc.
- Encourage prospective motorcyclists to take the base courses BEFORE purchasing a motorcycle. They will be a safer rider from the moment they leave the showroom (or they may even forego the purchase altogether based upon their course experience).
- All motorcyclists are NOT the same. Older, more experienced touring motorcycle riders have significantly different habits and risks than young, inexperienced sport bike or dirt bike riders. Tailor motorcycle training and safety programs accordingly.
- Work with base safety to improve courses and offer your most experienced riders as mentors/instructors.
- Base motorcycle courses are often insufficiently held or overbooked. Allow your riders to attend when they obtain a quota.
- Schedule course quotas for your personnel and/or arrange a special class with the base to ensure all of your riders are trained.
- Less threats for those who haven't taken the basic rider's course, more positive influence to take them on their own.
- Have motorcyclists share incident and accident stories during training and club meetings. This form of "ready room" discussion promotes mentorship, camaraderie, and risk management to avoid similar events.
- Concentrate your motorcycle safety program efforts on new and inexperienced riders who have never had accidents because they are more likely to take risks.
- Programs that are supportive of motorcyclists (e.g., clubs, track days, group rides, specialized courses) will bring your motorcyclists "out of hiding" and improve operator safety.
- Expert stunt shows, etc. are a mixed blessing. Without a strong message, they may encourage rather than discourage risk-taking behavior.
- Have a guest speaker with a severe motorcycle accident story, preferably one in which PPE saved their life.
- Encourage Navy Exchange/PX/local stores to offer high quality/low cost PPE.
- Ensure riders have recent first aid training.
- Invite contractors and government civilians to attend unit motorcycle activities.

- We have a dedicated motorcycle safety officer who is a motorcycle rider. This collateral duty is separate from the formal ground safety officer to allow him to be a true SME on the subject.
- I have mandated a mentorship program for riders in my command.
- I have a written order on our motorcycle club membership and who must be in it. We have recently conducted PPE training and its use off base and repercussions of getting caught without it. The base has agreed to conduct a one day sport bike class training day just for my unit so that I can get the rest of my sport bike riders trained.
- We are now screening our Marines better as they check in to ensure they are attending the basic riders and sports bike course as required.
- We have scheduled rides on the company TEEP to ensure more active and transparent participation in the program.
- Reevaluated our relationship with the Group HQs who provides the riding program that my riders participate in (this is due to the very low number of riders in my unit). We ensured that all paperwork, TTPs and training was taking place.
- Personnel often want to be more involved and/or become mentors. These personnel are a "solution" to a myriad of problems and should be sought out, encouraged, and recognized for their support.

- Base motorcycle courses are often insufficiently held or overbooked. Allow your riders to attend when they obtain a quota.
- Schedule course quotas for your personnel and/or arrange a special class with the base to ensure all of your riders are trained.
- Assist "motorcycle-only" owners in finding car pools/alternative transportation during inclement weather.
- Less threats for those who haven't taken the basic rider's course, more positive influence to take them on their own.
- Carefully plan group rides to prevent excessive separations at traffic lights. Trailing riders often speed to catch up with group, greatly increasing their risk.
- Group rides, though beneficial for morale, may increase the risk of injury/accident to motorcyclists riding in close proximity to each other. Use ORM to evaluate the benefits and risks associated with the skill level of your riders.
- Have unit or base safety rep follow behind group rides with duty truck to act as a safety observer, carry a first aid kit, and assist motorcyclists with any equipment failures.
- Have motorcyclists share incident and accident stories during training and club meetings. This form of "ready room" discussion promotes mentorship, camaraderie, and risk management to avoid similar events.
- Concentrate your motorcycle safety program efforts on new and inexperienced riders who have never had accidents because they are more likely to take risks.
- Purchase a unit first aid kit that can be carried in a motorcycle saddle bag during group rides.
- Programs that are supportive of motorcyclists (e.g., clubs, track days, group rides, specialized courses) will bring your motorcyclists "out of hiding" and improve operator safety.
- Have a guest speaker with a severe motorcycle accident story, preferably one in which PPE saved their life.
- Encourage Navy Exchange/PX/local stores to offer high quality/low cost PPE.

- Encourage alcohol-free activities.
- Officers and SNCOs set the standard for alcohol use.
- Incorporate mentorship at every level.
- Be aware of improper perceptions by your personnel.
- Ensure unit members are educated in the ORM process to the point that it becomes an automatic or intuitive part of decision making.
