Figure 8-2.-General reporting requirements for HRs, MRs, and MIRs.
Requirements for an Endorsement
Mishap and hazard report endorsements are
required under certain conditions. For all Class A
mishaps, endorsements go through the Naval Safety
Center. For all other classifications, the mishap or
hazard report is not closed until appropriate
endorsements have addressed all recommendations
requiring action. If the corrective action agency is in the
endorsing chain, the endorsement goes through the
corrective action agency. The endorsement goes
through the controlling custodian when the corrective
action agency is out of the endorsing chain.
Additionally, endorsements are required when
directed by higher authority. Recommendations that
require or request corrective action by higher authority
directly imply the requirement for an endorsement or
official reply from that command. The action agency for
the recommended corrective action will respond by
message or letter within 30 days of the controlling
custodian’s endorsement.
MISHAP AND HAZARD
RECOMMENDATION TRACKING
PROGRAM
We described earlier in the chapter methods you use
to identify and report hazards. We will now address the
Mishap and Hazard Recommendation Tracking
(MISTRAC) Program. We use this program to monitor
corrective actions. Monitoring corrective actions
ensures the completion of those actions so that a hazard
cannot cause future damage or injury. Usually the
detection, reporting, and correction of hazards take
place within a single command, such as the controlling
custodian. However, some corrective actions require
reports by a subordinate, endorsement by seniors, or
remedial action by an external command. The
monitoring of internal corrective actions by
subordinates is a prerogative of command. COM-
NAVSAFECEN monitors recommendations resulting
from mishaps and hazards under the MISTRAC
program.
