ARAP

is a Web-based resource that provides battalion-level commanders with data on their formation's readiness posture through seven categories:
  • Common Core - Common Core questions are general and universal questions that are answered by every survey taker. These questions provide a collection of responses utilized to establish a benchmark for the Army’s overall safety climate and culture.
  • Organizational Processes - Organizational Processes questions focus on the primary activities that an organization performs to safely and successfully execute its mission.  Organizational Processes are things that influence safety daily such as doctrine, regulations, SOP’s, procedures, training and education, as well as materials and equipment. They directly influence work production effectiveness and efficiency, accident and fatality rates, inspection results, and morale and motivation.
  • Organizational Climate - Organizational Climate questions focus on the Soldiers and/or employees shared perceptions or experiences of the policies, practices, and procedures in their workplace that is associated with expected behaviors that get rewarded and supported. Organizational climate is directly influenced by organizational culture which is a set of shared expectations over time defining appropriate behavior for various situations.
  • Resources  - Resources questions focus on whether or not Soldiers and employees collectively view that they are being provided adequate resources throughout the organization to safely complete or perform their assigned task. Resources include things such as personnel, money, time, knowledge/expertise, equipment, safety plans, stress management, and work/ training opportunities.
  • Supervision - Supervision questions evaluate leadership regarding communication, enforcement of written guidance and procedures, and the establishment/implementation/compliance of an organization’s safety program.
  • Safety Programs - Safety program questions assess the holistic view of an organization’s Safety Program and whether or not it seeks opportunities for improvement that can reduce accident exposure and maximize mission accomplishment. 
  • Open Ended - Open-ended questions allow personnel to respond in his/her own words providing specific feedback to the commander regarding their perspective of the organization’s safety program, climate and culture.
Designed for use by battalion-sized units, the program asks several questions of battalion commanders and directors.

  • Wouldn't you like to know if your unit is about to experience a mishap?
  • Wouldn't you like to prevent the loss of personnel and equipment?
  • Don't you want to protect your combat power?
Following the survey administration (the assessment phase), the commander receives one-on-one feedback on key issues regarding command climate, safety culture, resource availability, workload, estimated success of certain safety intervention programs, and other factors relating to their unit's overall readiness.

FAQ's

When done within 90-days of assuming command, this assessment affords commanders a "free-look" at their unit's safety climate/culture.  The command receives measurable and quantifiable data to review, while simultaneously getting potential courses of action in improving respondent identified problem areas.  Historically unit’s that score in the bottom quartile (low) are twice as likely to experience a Class A mishap than those scoring in the top quartile (high).  ARAP's goal is to identify and correct organizational conditions that could increase the potential for loss.
