The ATSB investigates accidents and incidents solely to improve transport safety, and we share the findings and safety messages from our investigations on social media so that others may learn from them. Our investigations do not apportion blame nor provide a means for determining liability.
In line with that purpose, the ATSB encourages engagement with our social media posts, and welcomes constructive discussion.
By posting on ATSB social media pages you agree that your comments treat others with respect and courtesy and that your comments are not:
- disparaging of the actions and decisions of others
- identifying of individuals, or breaches others’ privacy
- abusive, threatening, harassing, defamatory or discriminatory of others
- offensive or obscene
- fraudulent, libellous or unlawful
- misleading or erroneous
- deliberately disruptive (i.e., trolling)
- in breach of the copyright of others
- commercial or promotional in nature
- encouraging or inciting of any conduct that would constitute a criminal offence or give rise to civil liability
- political in nature.
If your comment breaches these terms of use the ATSB reserves the right to:
- delete or hide your comments
- suspend or permanently block you from our social media channels.
The ATSB may also turn off comments or limit who can comment on posts where there are, or is the potential for, breaches to these terms of use.
Please note the ATSB is unable to respond to individual comments and social media messages. You should direct your enquiries to the relevant area as detailed on our Contact us page.
