Mishap Reporting Assistance

What is a mishap?

Any unplanned, unexpected or undesirable event causing injury, occupational illness, death, or property damage/loss.

Why should I report my mishap?

Besides being required by Chapter 5 of the Auxiliary Manual and Chapter 2 of the Auxiliary Operations Policy Manual, the information from mishap reports is used by the Surface Standarization Team to see what training and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is working and what is not. Your mishap report could be the key to changing Auxiliary training methods and practices.
