Who is overall responsible for the establishment of a sight conservation program?

• A. Commanding Officer (CO)
• B. Safety Officer
• C. Unit Coordinator
• D. Enlisted personnel

Answer: (A)

The commanding officer is responsible for establishing a sight conservation program. In any organization, the top leader sets safety policy, assigns resources, and designates who will develop and enforce the program. They appoint the safety officer to handle day-to-day implementation, training, inspections, and record-keeping, but the ultimate responsibility for creating and maintaining the program rests with the commanding officer. The safety officer supports the program’s execution, a unit coordinator handles administrative coordination, and enlisted personnel follow the procedures and use the protective measures.
