What is the minimum percentage of divisional safety petty officers required to attend the Safety Programs Afloat (SPA) course?

The minimum percentage of divisional safety petty officers required to attend the Safety Programs Afloat (SPA) course is 50%. This requirement is established to ensure that a sufficient number of personnel are adequately trained in safety protocols and procedures, enabling them to effectively promote and implement safety measures within their divisions. By having at least half of the divisional safety petty officers trained, the command can foster a strong safety culture, ensuring that safety practices are consistently upheld and that appropriate knowledge is available to address potential safety hazards. This level of training helps to maintain a high standard of safety and operational readiness aboard naval vessels.
