What type of report is required when safety is compromised during an EI?

The correct type of report required when safety is compromised during an Engineering Investigation (EI) is the HMR/EI report. This dual reporting requirement serves to ensure that both safety concerns and the specifics of the engineering investigation are documented comprehensively.

When safety is compromised during an EI, it indicates a significant issue that could potentially affect personnel, mission readiness, or equipment functionality. The HMR (Hazardous Material Report) component captures any hazards that have been identified, making it critical for addressing immediate safety concerns. Meanwhile, the EI portion details the investigation into the underlying causes, which is essential for preventing recurrence and improving safety protocols in future operations.

The inclusion of both parts in the report allows for a thorough approach to safety management, ensuring that all aspects of an incident are recorded for accountability, compliance, and future reference. This practice aligns with the overall goals of comprehensive safety and risk management frameworks.

Other options are less appropriate as they do not encompass the necessary safety elements required during such investigations. For instance, solely relying on an EI report or an HMR report would overlook vital information that integrates both engineering analysis and safety assessments. Additionally, a PQDR (Product Quality Deficiency Report) is targeted more towards product quality and defects rather than immediate safety concerns
