Show May 27, 1999 h n n (51 by Gen. George T. yi Q) CfiltL ZrAU rr Babbitt Commander, Air Force Material Command This year's 101 critical days of safety campaign is fast approaching. The campaign begins May 28 and runs through September 6. Traditionally, we suffer increased injuries and fatalities during this period. We can reverse this trend as we did in 1998 by continuing to pay close attention to the safety hazards that surround us during the summer months. Our past increased safety efforts during this time period have paid off. In fact, in the last five years, our command's fatality rate decreased 23 percent. An increased level of operational risk management awareness throughout the command can enhance this year's campaign. Encourage those you work with to use risk management activities just as they techniques when planning y situations. Increased attention evaluate the risks of to detail when taking part in outdoor recreational activities is the key to a safe summer.

Babbitt x summer, always keep an eye out for potential safety hazards. It may save your life. y And while historically we tend to concentrate on recreational pursuits during this period, it's vitally important to keep safety in the forefront of our minds during regular work hours as well. Let's work smart, play smart and have a safe summer with no fatalities during the 1999 101 critical days of safety. F. Details, by Gen. Michael E.

With careful consideration of all the issues and options and after wrestling with the best way to balance the needs of the we force with the needs of our people have decided to implement a selective, s incremental program begin15. June ning The driving factor in our decision is the ongoing air campaign in the Balkans. When we joined NATO efforts to defend the people of Kosovo from the actions of an oppressive government, we knew our operations over Yugoslavia would not be completed easily or quickly. Now, in the ninth week of the air campaign, it is more evident than ever that we are doing the right thing and the air campaign is having a significant impact Ifs also evident that well be engaged in the Balkans for some undetermined period.
