Courtesy of the USMC Safety & Occupational Health Branch, the following tools and resources have been made available to facilitate proper and effective safety practices throughout the Corps.

- High Potential Mishaps (HIPOM)
A quick reference guide for commanders and their safety team which describes specific on-duty mishaps that deserve the same level of scrutiny as a mishap that warrants a formal safety investigation board (SIB). The only difference in the end outcome is the severity of injury or damage. These mishaps meet the DON classification of a near-miss, First Aid, Class-D or Class-C yet they warrant a thorough safety investigation by the unit safety team to ensure the hazardous factors are controlled or eliminated to prevent the probability of a more catastrophic mishap.
