    It’s that time again. Time to let the command know how it’s doing with regard to ground safety and equal employment opportunity by participating in the annual climate surveys.

    In 2003, the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) established a goal of reducing preventable accidents by 50 percent. SECDEF increased this goal to 75 percent in 2006. In support of this effort, the Marine Corps has been aggressively implementing safety programs and tools.

    The Ground Climate Assessment Survey System (GCASS) is one part of CMC Safety Division's overall safety assessment program. GCASS is a proactive mishap prevention process that aids commanders and senior leadership in risk assessment and intervention strategy development. GCASS focuses on operations, maintenance, and other areas directly related to safety. The GCASS process involves collection of data from organizations by means of on-line survey measurement tools that quantify respondents' safety perceptions.

    Two ways to access the GCASS Survey:
    1. You may take the survey by linking directly to it:

    1. Military Equal Opportunity (EO)
