Needs and Uses: The ASMIS system of record is the Army's single, centralized repository for Safety and Occupational Health (SOH) data. Information collected via the three applications within ASMIS is necessary to support the requirements of the Army Safety and Occupational Health program as directed via the AR 385-40 and as prescribed in DA PAM 385-10. The information collected is used for the sole purpose of preventing accidental loss and maximizing readiness within the U.S. Army. Users provide data via one of three applications: (1) Mishap and near miss reporting, (2) safety audits and inspections, and (3) hazard management. Each provides a modern web-based, intuitive means of entering data. Users are primarily Safety Officers with orders in writing to fulfil those duties. Most of these individuals are military and DoD civilian personnel, but contractor personnel may also submit reports in ASMIS as part of their duties.
