Aviation facilities must comply with safety regulations described in DOI manuals, guides and handbooks, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Buildings, equipment and aircraft operating surfaces (helibase, airplane parking and retardant base) will be inspected annually for safety and maintenance deficiencies, by the unit aviation manager and/or unit health and safety officers. Coordination with the state/district engineering and budget staff will be necessary to facilitate repairs. 9.4 BLM Oregon/Washington Supplement: Safety In addition to being inspected during periodic CASHE Audits and Preparedness Reviews, all aviation operational bases are inspected annually by the appropriate program area lead (i.e. Helicopter Crew Supervisor, SEAT Base Manager, etc.) and the UAO.
