Mishap Definitions 

Mishaps are unplanned events or a series of events, which interfere with or interrupt a process or procedure and may result in a fatality, injury or occupational illness to personell or damage to property.  The Marine Corps safety reporting program classifies mishaps by severity.  There are three primary classifacations of mishaps   

Class A:  The resulting total cost  of damages to DoD or non-DoD property in an amount of $1 million or more; a DoD aircraft is destroyed; or an injury or/and occupational illness results in a fatality or permanent total disablility.

Class B:  The resulting total cost of damages to DoD or non-DoD property is $200,000 or more, but less than $1 million.  An injury and/or occupational illness results in permanent total disablility, or when three or more personnel are hospitalized for inpatient care (beyond observation) as a result of a single mishap. 

Class C:  The resulting total cost of damages to DoD or non-DoD property is 20,00 or more, but less than 200,000; a nonfatal injury that causes any loss of time from work beyond the day or shift on which it occured; or a nonfatal occupational illness that causes loss of time from work or disabliity at any time.
