Which billet holder is charged with overseeing the safety regulations on the range?

The Range Safety Officer (RSO) is specifically designated to oversee safety regulations and practices on the range. This role involves ensuring all personnel adhere to safety protocols, conducting briefings on safety procedures, and monitoring activities to prevent accidents or unsafe behaviors. The RSO is the primary authority when it comes to evaluating and enforcing safety measures during live-fire exercises or training, making them the crucial link in maintaining a safe training environment.

The Officer in Charge (OIC) and other billet holders, such as the Command NCO/SNCO or Position Safety Officer, may have roles related to management and oversight of operations but their primary responsibilities do not center solely on range safety. Therefore, while they may support safety operations, the RSO's specific expertise and focus on safety regulations distinctly set them apart, establishing them as the critical figure for ensuring compliance with safety standards on the range.
