Safety messages are produced by our Safety Investigation Unit when it’s appropriate to provide timely information about a safety matter, even if an investigation is ongoing.
The intention of safety messages is to encourage the swift spread of safety information.
Pin them up on your crew room notice board, or use them as handouts during meetings and briefings, to raise awareness and promote discussion.
You’re encouraged to report occurrences quickly so we can identify possible emerging trends or risks that may benefit other participants.
