I got a PM with a very good point.
Information regarding incidents/close calls should come out to the whole industry quickly following the incident, so that everyone can learn from it.
After an accident the AIBN typically spends several years processing the incident before the report comes out. That's too long.
In my previous company we had a great system that we felt worked without anyone getting "blamed". It was a small company, but we signed by full name. Nobody ever talked behind others backs after an incident.
-We described what had happened in detail, and concequences.
-We had to come with a corrective suggestion.
-The Ops-dept then wrote their comment/corrective action.
The report was filed for everyone to see the same day it had happened.
Maybe we could have an across-company, non-public reporting site, for everyone in the industry to see/learn? Then some sort of board to come up with suggested corrective actions? That could rotate between the companies.
And the reports should be able to see the minute they are submitted.
In our old company, the suggested corrective action was often "operational risk"
Offshore I think it would often say "follow SOP"....
One don't have to break a leg to know it hurts!
