In what situation should a personal safety assessment be performed?

A personal safety assessment should be performed before every mission to ensure that all potential hazards are identified and mitigated before commencing operations. This proactive approach helps establish a culture of safety and prepares personnel for any challenges they might face. Conducting a safety assessment ahead of time allows for the identification of risks associated with specific environments, equipment, and operational procedures, facilitating timely corrective measures and enhancing overall safety during the mission. By making this assessment a standard part of the pre-mission routine, personnel can effectively reduce the likelihood of accidents or unsafe conditions.
