Mind the Gap
Notso Fantastic - are you sure? Remember, not all deaths which are work related happen on board the aircraft. For instance, suicide.
I think you will find that, according to the Protocol on Work Related Deaths, a decision to determine whether a death is work related or not belongs to joint agencies. (HSE., CPS., Police, Local Government Association; CAA). If the CAA assumes a death is not work-related and omits to inform the other agencies they will not be engaged in the process. The death will not be investigated, with all that means for management and organizational failures.
According to Victims' Groups this might very well happen, ie has happened, and the subject will be forgotten without families having any say in the matter. The point is - the law, in its present state, allows this.
Was Capt. Stuart Clapson's death recorded as work related? (no matter what you thought of his behaviour) Whether it was or not will affect how his family will have been treated and also how future similar cases will be treated.
What are the issues? Does anyone know?
If the CAA are so interested why isn't there a Department supplying statistics? Why no transparency?
If you are sure, tell me the relevant laws and procedures.....
