1.1: Selection of Accidents

Make Judicious Selections of Accidents to Investigate in Each Transportation Mode

Other Information:

The resources available to the Board do not permit us to investigate every accident in every mode. We will judiciously determine the significance of accidents and balance that against the level of investigative effort (including no investigation at all) that would be necessary in each case. This selection process requires careful monitoring of accident events in each mode and careful evaluation of safety issues by technical experts in each modal office.
