Cabin Safety Investigation Guidelines
Cabin Safety Investigation Guidelines
The Cabin Safety Investigation Guidelines were developed by the ISASI Cabin Safety Working Group and reviewed in collaboration with the ICAO Cabin Safety Group. The purpose of the ISASI Working Group is to promote a high standard of safety through incident and accident investigation. The guidelines can provide Air Safety Investigators and other operational personnel with tools to investigate the survival aspects of incidents and accidents. Guidance is provided for documenting damage to the cabin interior and its equipment, and flight attendant and passenger interviews. The guidelines are adaptable to any type of occurrence whether it is a turbulence incident, an evacuation with fire and smoke, or an event that involves water contact. The guidelines are easily adaptable to those operations without cabin attendants. The information collected can be used in conjunction with information gathered by other groups (medical, human factors, operations, ARFF) to determine causes of injuries and to develop recommendations or strategies to minimize injury in future accidents or incidents. Information collected during cabin safety investigations can be used in the areas of education, research, safety promotion and accident and injury prevention. Comprehensive reports and the global exchange of cabin safety information can only enhance flight safety worldwide.
