DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE AF REGULATION 800-16 Headquarters US Air Force Washington DC 20330 6 June.1979 Acquisition Management Attach:nent 1 USAF SYSTEM SAFETY PROGRAMS This regulation explains policy on system safety programs and makes Air Force activities responsible for carrying out that policy throughout the system life cycle. It requires each major command (M AJCOM) to establish and wduct or support an effective USAF System Safety Program within existing command resources. It.pplies to all commands and implements DODI 5000.36,6 December 1978. System Safety Engineering and Management.
All M AJCOM and Separate Operating Agency (SOA) supplements to this regulation must be coordinated with AFISC/SES before publication.
