•Leadership is SafetyLeadership is Safety

Leaders must protect their personnel from Mishaps. Foresight and Planning are key to mission success and the key to reducing mishaps. Leaders must Identify hazards associated with their mission. Leaders must teach their subordinates the skills needed to identify hazards. Listen to your Marines who have the intestinal fortitude to speak up when observing unsafe acts or behaviors.

Keep your Marines alive and ready for the fight.   If you see a Marine acting in an unsafe manner, help that Marine, directly or through the chain of command. As professionals, I am counting on you to help me keep Marines safe.
