3.  The 42nd ESB agenda included briefs and discussion on the following three topics:  High Risk Training, USMC tactical vehicle operations, and the Marine Corps uniformed and civilian safety population.
4.  ESB RESULTS
4.a.  HIGH RISK TRAINING
4.a.1.  The High Risk Training (HRT) initiative is currently being worked as a collaborative effort between the Safety Division and TECOM.  HRT will be included as a separate chapter within MCO 5100.29C (USMC Safety Management System).  This chapter will include a purpose statement, HRT definitions, and examples of HRT with a mitigation flowchart.  This will provide commanders with guidance and a framework to safely conduct HRT events, both within the Fleet Marine Forces (FMF) and within a formal school environment.  Safety Division will work with TECOM to identify HRT events within the Training and Readiness Manuals as well as a mechanism for their regular review.
4.a.2.  WAY AHEAD.  Safety Division will forward the draft HRT Chapter to all ESB members for comments and concurrence via Enterprise Task Management Software Solution (ETMS2) within the next two weeks, with MCO incorporation anticipated by the end of FY22.
4.b.  USMC TACTICAL VEHICLE OPERATIONS
4.b.1.  The review of USMC tactical vehicle operations was initiated as a byproduct of the 2021 Government Accountability Office report on military vehicle accidents.  This report tasked the Marine Corps to assess five critical areas of concern.  During this review, those areas grew to include more than thirty distinct topics where gaps in guidance, differing policies, and a lack of consistent definitions exist.  Safety Division, working with key stakeholders from TECOM and multiple FMF commands, have developed a new tactical vehicle policy that provides definitions and guidance aimed at reducing confusion and providing a single source of authoritative data. Upon approval, this policy will be incorporated into MCO 5100.29C. 
4.b.2.  WAY AHEAD.  During August 2022, Safety Division, in conjunction with TECOM, HQMC Installations & Logistics, and multiple FMF units will participate in an Operational Advisory Group in order to finalize the policy and develop a single Standard Operating Procedure for tactical vehicle use throughout the Service.  Both of these documents will be forwarded to all ESB members for comments and concurrence via ETMS2 by the end of FY22. 
4.c.  USMC SAFETY POPULATION
4.c.1.  There are nearly 360 billets for civilian safety professionals within the Marine Corps.  Nearly 80 percent of these billets are currently filled with hardworking men and women throughout both the Training Command and FMF.
4.c.2.  WAY AHEAD.  Further study is needed to determine if these billets are located and staffed most conducive to providing effective risk management recommendations to both tactical and supporting establishment commanders.  This topic will be revisited at the next ESB. Until then, all civilian or military safety and occupational health billets are exempt from structural and manage-to-payroll reductions. 
5.  The 43rd ESB is currently scheduled for September 2022. The Safety Division will announce the detailed schedule, agenda, and coordinating instructions via SEPCOR.
6.  Release authorized by Lieutenant General Gregg P. Olson, Director, Marine Corps Staff.//
