(July 24, 2020) -- With the effects of Covid-19 still rampant, members of the 101st Air Refueling Wing are doing everything they can to complete mission requirements, while still maintaining safety precautions. Chief Master Sergeant Nathan Anaya, the Occupational Safety Manager has been very busy the last few months with the response to Covid.

    The Safety Office is working with their partners on base in response to the pandemic. This includes the Medical Group and Public Health. They are following the guidelines of Osha, the Air Force and the CDC in response to the pandemic.

    The Safety Office identifies risks and responses of Covid and have preventative measures and information available to airmen. The Safety Office assists the wing with monitoring compliance and working through nuances to meet mission objectives. Maintaining social distancing on base is important to keeping personnel healthy.

Work together.” Despite the setback of Covid-19, the mission hasn’t stopped. The Safety Office continues to work hard to ensure the safety and wellness of personnel on base.
