Who should familiarize themselves with applicable safety regulations?

Familiarization with applicable safety regulations is crucial for all personnel within an aviation environment. Safety regulations establish practices and protocols designed to ensure the well-being of everyone involved in aviation operations. When all personnel are knowledgeable about these regulations, it fosters a culture of safety that can significantly reduce the risk of accidents and incidents.

Each individual contributes to the overall safety of the workplace, whether they are in a supervisory role or not. By understanding safety regulations, every team member can identify hazards, respond effectively to emergencies, and adhere to safe operating procedures, which enhances both their own safety and that of their colleagues.

While supervisory personnel, Commanding Officers, and safety officers have specific roles in enforcing and promoting safety, the responsibility for maintaining a safe environment is shared among all employees. Ignoring safety training or awareness at any level can leave gaps in safety practices that could potentially lead to hazardous situations.
