The Ground Mishap Investigation Course (GMIC) is designed to aid Battalion/Squadron level personnel assigned as safety officers or safety managers as well as civilian Safety & Occupational Health (SOH) practitioners in closing a skills gap of root cause analysis techniques. For all leaders, the goal is to enhance risk management strategies through effective mishap analysis, hazard identification, hazard abatement, and increased hazard reporting. This 40-hour course incorporates the use of a “real-world” mishap case study that challenges each attendee’s critical thinking and problem-solving skills in an experiential learning environment for the adult learner.
