Wallops Flight Facility (WFF) provides a low-cost national resource for the purpose of launching, flying, landing, and testing space and aeronautical vehicles and associated technologies. In order to perform these services safely, it is WFF's policy to protect the public, the NASA workforce, high-value equipment and property, and the environment from potential harm. All activities at WFF shall include safety as a fundamental element and certify readiness through a formal validation and verification review of safety requirements. Included in this process is rigorous evaluation, elimination (when possible), and mitigation of hazards and their associated risks.

In addition, the Wallops Safety and Mission Assurance (SMA) Division conducts an annual assessment of WFF workplaces to identify safety and health deficiencies and areas for improvment. The Fire Department conducts fire safety inspections of our buildings and Wallops SMA Division and supports workplace inspections by supervisors and Facilities Operations Managers (FOMs). Finally, the Wallops SMA Division provides training in safety and health, and works with supervisors to assist them in fulfilling their safety obligations.
