Diving
While we are receiving adequate information for diving mishaps, command representatives are purposely leaving out some of the gear used during the dive.
Recording and Reporting OSH-Related Mishaps
Hearing loss is the single largest source of disability among Navy/Marine Corps military and civilian personnel, so we'll use it as an example for reporting occupational safety and health issues.
