The investigation process leads to a report outlining the findings and safety recommendations to the sector.

The Commission has set a visionary goal of “No Repeat Accidents – Ever!”

In return, you’ll be able to grow your career in a friendly organisation that respects and supports your development, provides world class training, is internationally regarded – and is clearly focused on the avoidance of repeat accidents.
