District Safety Specialists
To develop an “enhanced Safety Culture Auxiliary-wide” the
districts must be involved. To help foster the safety culture in each district,
the District Commodores were encouraged to appoint members to serve as District
Safety Specialist(s) (DSS). These District Safety Specialists will serve as the
DCO’s representative and advisor on safety matters, will work to promote and
educate their members on safety issues, and will serve as a central source for
reporting safety issues, among other duties. Collectively, all these members
form the District Safety Specialist Council.
The DSS Council has met and has begun to collaborate and
share information and best practices. The Board is working on developing
materials that will be of use to the District Safety Specialists as they work
to promote safety within the districts.
The District Safety Specialist Council is envisioned to be a
forum for collaboration and the sharing of ideas and best practices among the
Districts and National Safety Board. It is recognized that the District Safety
Specialists bring a great deal of expertise and experience to the program.
