In the event of a mishap, which agency is the first point of contact for safety reporting?

The base safety office serves as the first point of contact for safety reporting in the event of a mishap. This office is specifically tasked with overseeing safety policies and procedures at the local level, which includes immediate response to incidents. They are trained to handle the initial reports of mishaps and ensure that any necessary actions are taken to mitigate further risks.

Additionally, the base safety office plays a critical role in investigating incidents and helps to track and analyze data related to safety to prevent future occurrences. By being the initial touchpoint, they ensure that information is collected accurately and reported to the appropriate agencies, thus facilitating a swift response and accountability in addressing safety issues. This process is crucial for maintaining operational safety and compliance within the Air Force.
