Summary of Changes
Pending a complete update of the Safety Specialty Track, this pamphlet has been
updated to reflect newly released CAP safety regulations and related
pamphlets, forms and training. Important note: Read carefully; several small
requirements have been added to each rating which must be completed prior
to award of the rating.

PREFACE
This pamphlet is your study guide outlining the requirements to attain technician, senior and
master ratings in the safety officer specialty track. Training is self-paced and completed
primarily through on-the-job training and self-study.
Achieving each rating not only provides the knowledge necessary to perform your duties but
is also instrumental in professional development progression and promotion. See
CAPR
50-17, Senior Member Professional Development Program for further information.
This edition of CAPP 217 is completely revised. Levels achieved prior to the publication
date of this edition remain in effect. Any achievements submitted for approval after the
publication date must meet the requirements of this edition.
OVERVIEW
The Civil Air Patrol (CAP) safety program is modeled somewhat after the Air Force (AFI 91-
Series). CAPR 160-1
defines the roles and responsibilities of CAP safety officers at all levels
(see the reading list). Progressively mastering the material in each section of this pamphlet
will prepare you for the corresponding rating and positions of increasing responsibility within
your unit and CAP. You will be assigned a senior or master level rated on-the-job (OJT)
mentor. In those units without an appropriately rated mentor, the Wing or Region Director
of Safety, the CAP Assistant Chief of Safety (CAP/SEA), or the CAP Chief of Safety
(CAP/SE) can provide guidance.
This study guide does not limit the role students may take as safety officers, but it presumes
that students’ levels of responsibility will begin modestly and increase as they advance in
the program.
TRAINING OBJECTIVES
Each pamphlet section contains knowledge, academic and service requirements that must
be completed in order to attain a rating.
Knowledge requirements are objectives describing what the student is expected to know
and be able to demonstrate before attaining the rating.
Academic requirements are on-line courses associated with the rating being sought,
located on the safety section of the CAP eServices website. After viewing and
understanding the course material, the student will take the on-line test. Passing score for
the technician, senior and master ratings is 80%.
Service requirements are completed through active participation.

39-1, Civil Air Patrol Uniform Regulation.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR STUDENTS
Self-Study & On-the-Job Procedures (Read, Discuss, Shadow, Perform, Review)
Training in the safety officer specialty track may formally begin once you complete Level I of
the Senior Member Professional Development Program. Your unit commander or
professional development officer will enroll you through eServices. While much of the training
CAPP 217 13 March 2020 5
is c
onducted at your own pace through self-study, you will be assigned a senior or master
level rated on-the-job (OJT) trainer to help you fulfill the knowledge and service requirements
and to serve as your mentor.
Foll
ow the procedures listed below to ensure your training is successful:
1. Study the publications on the reading list. Focus on the sections pertaining to the
knowledge requirements.
2. Discuss the readings with your trainer to ensure your general understanding is accurate.
3. Shadow the trainer and watch how he/she performs tasks related to the knowledge
requirements.
4. Perform tasks that are related to the knowledge and service requirements, under the
trainer’s guidance.
5. Review the knowledge and service requirements with your trainer to ensure that you have
fulfilled each requirement.
6. It’s your responsibility to ensure that the completion of each requirement is properly
documented as they are accomplished. Be sure to provide these documents along with
the completed checklist for the appropriate level being sought.
Note for master level candidates: Achieving the master level in the safety specialty track
comes with certain responsibilities which include mentoring other CAP members through the
technician and senior levels and potentially being asked to serve on national level safety
committees working on safety related projects.
TRAINING VERIFICATION
When you feel confident you are proficient in the requirements and tasks in a section, contact
your mentor or another appropriately rated safety officer at wing level or above. That safety
officer will determine your proficiency through personal knowledge of your participation in the
safety officer program and/or oral discussion and will complete the skill level checklist
(Attachments 1, 2 or 3, as appropriate to the level sought).
Your proficiency will be verified by his/her signature on the skill level checklist. Once the
evaluator has signed off on each task, submit the c
ompleted checklist along with the
required supporting documents to your commander for approval. Note: The master
level requires approval of the CAP/SE prior to award.
The commander or unit professional development officer will update your member record and
eServices. You are then eligible to wear the Leadership Award ribbon and safety officer
device corresponding with the level achieved.
Summary for Earning Specialty Track Ratings Process
1. Complete the self-study: Read, discuss, shadow, perform, and review, as described above.
6
CAPP 217 13 March 2020
2. Fulfi
ll the rating’s service requirements.
3. Be evaluated by your OJT trainer or another qualified safety officer using the skill level
checklist.
4. Record the new rating in eServices.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR OJT TRAINERS
It is the OJT trainer who makes the specialty track training program work best. You are a
m
entor, ready to guide your senior member student(s) through the duties of the position,
always relating the job to the knowledge requirements corresponding to the rating.
CAPP
50-7, MENTORING: Building Our Members, provides an excellent overview of being an
effective mentor.
The OJT Environment
Familiarize yourself with the student five-step self-study and OJT procedures. Use the
demonstration/performance method (described below) to teach students how to complete job
duties.
During the demonstration phase, allow the student to shadow you as you perform job duties
related to the student’s knowledge requirements. Point out the task’s sequence of events and
standards of performance.
During the performance phase, have the student complete job duties related to the
knowledge and service requirements of the rating they are pursuing. Provide constructive
feedback to let them know what they did correctly and what areas need improvement.
Students pursuing the senior and master ratings will likely hold staff positions of their own. In
such instances, explain how the subject matter relates to the student’s current position as
well as your own.
Student / Trainer Ratio
OJT is best conducted with a low student to trainer ratio (3:1 or better is recommended).
Levels of Training
Familiarize yourself with the knowledge and service requirements throughout this guide. This
will help you provide the right training at the right time, versus overwhelming the student with
knowledge that may be valuable but is not yet needed.
Training Accuracy
Avoid the easy tendency of always relying on your memory when explaining job procedures
to students. By reviewing the applicable CAP publications before beginning an OJT program,
you will be sure to teach the current policies and procedures. In the process, you will benefit
from refreshing your own knowledge and your student will learn how to find where the
information is located and develop the habit of referring to written guidance rather than relying
on recall or word of mouth.
