Who signs the accuracy classification worksheets?

The accuracy classification worksheets are signed by the Officer in Charge (OIC) because this individual holds the responsibility for overseeing the operations and ensuring compliance with applicable regulations and standards within the unit. The OIC is positioned to assess the accuracy of the data collected, as they have the requisite authority and knowledge of the operational procedures. Their signature signifies that they have reviewed the information and are affirming its reliability and integrity. This responsibility is part of their role in maintaining the credibility of the reports and ensuring that any actions taken based on those reports are grounded in accurate data.

Other roles, such as the Commanding Officer, Marine Safety Officer, or Chief Petty Officer, have their functions and responsibilities, but it is specifically the OIC who is designated to ensure the accuracy classification process is conducted correctly and to validate the worksheets as part of their oversight duties.
