Auxiliary Safety Climate Survey
| Substantial portions of the Auxiliary’s many missions involve safety. We promote Recreational Boating Safety and assist the Coast Guard with their Maritime Safety and Public Safety missions. The work of the Auxiliary covers a very wide range of activities. Some of those activities, air and surface operations, for example, present obvious safety challenges. But safety is essential in everything that we do, whether it is inspecting vessels, teaching classes, providing culinary services, or any of the many other missions that we accomplish. A strong safety culture drives mission accomplishment, ensures readiness, and empowers members to operate at their best. Safe and effective practices are good leadership. Safety is everyone’s duty. What is the state of our safety culture now? To help answer that that, the Coast Guard Office of Safety, and the Auxiliary, working together, have prepared a safety survey to assess member perceptions of safety in the Auxiliary. As a valued and important member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary your input is essential to help us develop a culture of safety and an organization wide safety management system. Accordingly, I respectfully request that you take the time to take the survey and ask that you provide thoughtful responses to the questions presented. The survey is voluntary and responses are anonymous and no one will make any effort to associate your responses with your identity. This gives you an opportunity to provide candid feedback in an anonymous forum. The link below will take you to the survey, which is hosted on the Google Forms platform. There is no need to sign into Google to take the survey. The survey should take no more than about ten minutes to complete. Our safety culture starts with each of us taking safety personally. Your responses will help us expose opportunities for improvement throughout the organization. We want to know what you think. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
