I think we should adopt something similar to the Tripoli Range Safety Guide.
Instead of re-inventing the wheel, we could just modify as needed...

I have, for years, advocated a system similar to a NASA launch structure.
One person, not necessarily on the flight line (though in a good position
to see all) watches over everything—you can call him “Flight”.

This, of course, is a large launch scenario (adjust accordingly). Anyone
in the chain can call a “HOLD!!!”
Look at me! I just made a little drawing on my computer…at least it isn’t

Yes, I’ve been carefully following the discussion. Prior to this
discussion beginning, I’ve already been in touch with people about the
issue, and there are already plans for LDRS to have a team of *on the
range* personnel to oversee and enforce all safety and compliance matters.
What exactly to name the position is a matter for debate, but rest assured
that the basic idea is in work.

I'm sure that the LDRS Safety Coordinator, Greg Lyzenga, will follow up on

Maybe we should rename the roving RSO. Rocket inspector might be more
descriptive.
"Flight Safety Officer" (FSO) is the correct term in Tripoli
nomenclature.
