Which mishap is NOT authorized PoC?

• A. Nuclear
• B. Space
• C. Aviation
• D. Motor Vehicle

Answer: (D)

The key idea is that certain mishap areas require a designated Point of Contact to coordinate investigation efforts across organizations and regulators. Nuclear, space, and aviation mishaps carry high risk, complex regulatory requirements, and cross-agency involvement, so having an authorized PoC ensures rapid, consistent communication, proper classification, and secure handling of information throughout the investigation.

Motor vehicle mishaps, while important, usually follow standard local safety reporting channels and do not demand the same centralized liaison in the investigation structure. They’re typically managed within local or organizational safety processes rather than through a centralized PoC with national or cross-agency oversight.

So, the motor vehicle category is not authorized for a PoC in this context, whereas the high-hazard domains require one to support proper oversight and rapid reporting.
