The Flying Griffins does not have an appointed safety officer.  Why?  Because every member of the Flying Griffins is responsible for safety at the field.

Be a safe, courteous, and responsible RC owner and operator.  Use commonsense and follow all of the club rules and AMA rules.  If you witness someone violating established safety rules or just doing something that could cause them, spectators or property to get injured or damaged, please inform the violator and offer recommendations to correct their actions. 

Everyone is hurt when a careless action causes an accident.  Most modelers will react favorably and will comply with Safety Rules if the modeler is given factual information.
