The USDA Forest Service Aviation Safety and Management Strategy reflects our commitment to safety as a core organizational value and invests in a strategy that is dependent upon a strong aviation safety culture. The Plan establishes a System Safety approach to ensure that personnel, property, and the public are protected from the risk of aircraft mishaps. Our stated philosophy is that all accidents are preventable. The ultimate goal of the Forest Service's Aviation Safety Program is Zero Mishaps, but that alone does not define the safety program. Safety is transforming the severity and likelihood of risk, which is inherent in all human activity, to lower, acceptable levels. Safety is freedom from those conditions that can cause death, injury, occupational illness, or damage to or loss of equipment or property, or damage to the environment.
