AF Form 457 is used for what?

• A. An avenue to identify, report, or correct hazards quickly / anonymously
• B. A document to request PPE replacement
• C. A record of job safety training events
• D. A log for vehicle maintenance

Answer: (A)

AF Form 457 is a safety hazard reporting tool. It’s used to quickly identify, report, or correct hazards, and it can be filed anonymously if needed, so safety personnel can investigate and implement corrective actions to reduce risk. This form focuses on unsafe conditions or near-misses in the work environment and facilitates prompt, protective action. It’s not for requesting PPE replacements, tracking training, or logging vehicle maintenance, which are separate processes and forms.
