“For the want of a nail the shoe was lost; for the want of a shoe the horse was lost; and for the want of a horse the rider was lost, being overtaken and slain by the enemy. All for the want of care for a horseshoe nail.”

NAVYSAFE
We are not getting safety right and it has been recognised that a new approach is needed to ensure that all of our personnel are kept as safe as possible, hence the creation of the Navy Safety Improvement Programme (NSIP). NSIP was launched on 13th October 2011 with a personal pledge being made by the First Sea Lord Admiral Sir Mark Stanhope GCB OBE ADC. It is currently being taken forward under the branding of 'NAVYSAFE - Lethal to Our Enemies Safe to Ourselves '
NAVYSAFE intends to re-energise the safety culture across the whole Naval Service (Royal Navy (RN) Royal Marines (RM) and Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA)) and help us to operate more efficiently and safely, at home and abroad. NSIP is underway and will make changes to safety and risk management such that the way in which we DO safety is understood by all from the most junior sailor at the sharp end to the senior officers in the Headquarters.
The fundamental aim of NAVYSAFE is to develop a more effective Safety Culture that prevents unnecessary harm to equipment and people, based on the Haddon-Cave recommendations. A Just Culture and Flexible Culture will be promoted by a rationalised organisation for safety and risk management based on a framework of Duty Holders (those officers at 4*, 2* and in command who are responsible for the duty of care to ensure that our people do not suffer unreasonable harm or loss). Reporting and Learning will be addressed under a discrete work stream, which will
