Which regulation provides complete guidance on the Air Force Occupational Safety and Health program?

• A. AFI 91-202, Mishap Prevention
• B. DoDI 6055.05
• C. DAFI 91-202, US Air Force Mishap Prevention Program
• D. AFOSH Standard 1910

Answer: (C)

In the Air Force, the Occupational Safety and Health program is defined and implemented through Air Force directives that adapt DoD safety policy to Air Force missions. The most complete, Air Force–specific guidance is found in the Direct Air Force Instruction that lays out the US Air Force Mishap Prevention Program in full. This directive provides the overarching policy, the responsibilities of commanders and safety personnel, procedures for hazard recognition and risk management, training requirements, mishap investigations oversight, corrective actions, and ongoing program evaluation. It ties together safety standards, inspections, and reporting into one coherent framework used across all bases and units. Other options either address DoD-wide requirements at a higher level or focus on particular standards without delivering the full program structure for the Air Force. AFI 91-202 covers mishap prevention, but the Direct Air Force Instruction is the comprehensive Air Force implementation of that program. AFOSH standards provide specific safety requirements, not the complete program guidance, and DoDI 6055.05 governs DoD-wide OSH policy rather than the Air Force’s full, tailored program.
