Range Safety Officer

A Range Safety Officer (RSO) is a trained professional responsible for ensuring safety during shooting range activities. They oversee firearm handling, enforce safety rules, and monitor all participants to prevent accidents. The RSO assesses the range for hazards, provides safety briefings, and intervenes if unsafe behavior occurs. Their role is crucial in creating a controlled environment where shooting can be conducted responsibly, minimizing risks to shooters, staff, and bystanders. Essentially, the RSO acts as the safety coordinator, maintaining discipline and ensuring everyone follows local laws and safety procedures while on the range.
