Under a strategic partnership launched in early 2019, RMIT University delivers the Graduate Certificate in Transport Safety Investigation to both the ATSB’s own transport safety investigators and industry participants.
Through the partnership the ATSB provides advice on the development of the program structure and the course material, and a significant number of topics are delivered by ATSB subject matter experts with in-depth investigation and industry experience.
The requirements for reporting aviation accidents and incidents to the ATSB are detailed in the Transport Safety Investigations Regulations (TSI Regulations).
The TSI Regulations set out the ATSB’s safety occurrence reporting scheme and prescribe what occurrences must be reported to the ATSB, the timeframes those reports must be made in, the ‘responsible persons’ who are required to make a report, and the particulars to be included in a report.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has welcomed investigators from the United States to assist in the transport safety investigation into Monday’s large air tanker accident in Western Australia, in line with long-established international protocols.
