Safety Equipment
Safety equipment is required to be worn with every uniform, including PT gear, in those instances where the personal safety of the military member may be at risk. Beyond the obvious examples, such as flight crews wearing flight helmets and survival vests in helicopters, tilt-rotors and ejection seat aircraft, the more common examples include wearing reflective belts while riding bicycles or motorcycles, while engaged in hazardous work activities at night, or while performing physical fitnesss training such as jogging or running near active roadways at night (this being in addition to the already reflective Air Force PT gear). Great priority is placed on wearing the reflective belt or vest and disciplinary actions have been taken against military members for failure to wear same. There are two ways the reflective belt can be worn in uniform: around the waist and across the body from right shoulder to under the left arm.

Famous quotes containing the words safety and/or equipment:
“For hours, in fall days, I watched the ducks cunningly tack and veer and hold the middle of the pond, far from the sportsman;... but what beside safety they got by sailing in the middle of Walden I do not know, unless they love its water for the same reason that I do.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“At the heart of the educational process lies the child. No advances in policy, no acquisition of new equipment have their desired effect unless they are in harmony with the child, unless they are fundamentally acceptable to him.”
—Central Advisory Council for Education. Children and Their Primary Schools (Plowden Report)
