RAF Brize Norton held its annual Total Safety Day in September
The day was designed to reinforce and promote the importance of safety in all aspects of operations on the ground and in the air, ensuring that all personnel operate in the safest possible environment.
Total Safety Day raised awareness across the entire RAF Brize Norton community about the critical role safety plays in maintaining operational effectiveness. With a focus on a range of themes, including health and safety, flight safety and accident investigation, the event underscores the RAF's commitment to safeguarding its personnel, equipment, and missions.
The day started with an opening address from Group Captain Henton who highlighted the importance of safety in everyone’s day-to-day operations across Station. Stalls and stands included interactive displays, examples of safe practice, specialist equipment and a live demonstration from RAF Brize Norton Fire & Rescue. Commander Air Wing, Group Captain McIntyre closed the event, with a focus on air safety.
Master Aircrew Hicks organised this year’s event. He said:
“As the organiser of this year’s event, myself and my team who put the day together were pleased to see from the very start many in attendance, engaging with the stands and guest speakers, including a steady flow of arrivals throughout the day. The day was a huge success and helped to continually reinforce the importance of safety standards across the Station”
