Safety comprises managers and pilots, who are experts in their respective fields, to provide investigation and safety advice. The unit proactively promotes innovative ideas and technology in the following areas in order to improve operational safety.
• Voluntarily introducing systems to improve operational safety
• Meeting international safety standards, often before these are mandated
• Setting Safety best practices
• Initiating and participating in international safety forums
What utter BS. It is a 'REACTIVE' department that is muzzled and coerced by the company to give the appearance of conformity. One of the so called experts in their field actually resigned over the handling of the incident internally and then threatened with the sack!
As for setting the best safety practices well they may set them but don't implement them.
If they had been more proactive we would probably not have had the incident in the first place. The fact that they accept no responsibility at all for a systemic failure is unbelievable, unless you actually work here that is.
